the other parties may conveniently have a representative present. If such representative is not present
after the required notification at the time set in such notice, calibration and adjustment may proceed
in the absence of said representative notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection.
If the percentage of inaccuracy of the flow meter is found to be in excess of Mvo percent,
registration thereof shall be corrected by agreement of NWC, NSNJ�JAWA, and the Village,
collectiveli., and based upon the best data available, for a period extending back to the time when
such inaccuracy began if such time is ascertainable, or for a period extending back one-half of the
time elapsed since the last date of calibration (but M no event further back than a period of six months)
if such time is not ascertainable. If for any reason the flow meter is out of service or out of repair so
that the amount of lake water delivered cannot be ascertained or computed from the reading thereof,
then the lake water delivered during the period the flow meter is out of service or out of repair shall
be estimated:
By correcting the error if the percentage' of the error is ascertainable by calibration tests
or mathematical calculations; or
2. If the error is not ascertainable by calibration tests or mathematical calculation, by
estimating the quantity of delivery by considering the quantity consumed by the
receiving party's own customers as measured by the meters located on their
premises as well as level changes in the receiving party's water storage facilities.

meter for examination, inspection, calibration, and adjustment at reasonable times, but the reading
for billing purposes shall be collected by the Village and sent to NWC and NSMJAWA, as appropriate,
each month. The Village shall keep an official record of the readings taken from the flow meter; a
copy of which record shall be provided to NWC or NSMJAWA upon request.
At least once in each calendar year, the Village shall test and calibrate the flow meter measuring the lake
water delivered to the Village system as well as the quantity of lake water delivered to NWC by
NSMJAWA. NWC and NSMJAWA, if they choose, along with the Village, shall jointly observe any
adjustments that are made to the flow meter in case any adjustments shall be necessary.
If any backflow prevention devices have been installed, then such backflow prevention devises shall be
tested at least every 12 months by the Village in the presence of a representative of either NWC or
NSMJAWA representatives, if they choose, and the Village will make any repairs and replacements of the
backflow prevention devises in case any adjustments shall be necessary. The Village will submit all backflow
test results to NWC and NSMJAWA as appropriate. NWC and the Village shall share equally in the cost of
testing, calibration, repairs, maintenance, and of meters.
B. Meter Malfunctions. If the NWC, NSMJAWA, or the Village, at any time observe evidence
of flow meter malfunction, such party shall promptly notify the other parties, and all parties, collectively,
shall then cooperate to procure an immediate calibration test and such adjustment, replacement or other work
necessary to return the flow meter to accuracy. The party who discovers such variation or malfunction shall
give the other parties notice not less than 48 hours prior to the time of any test of any meter (which tests
shall be conducted during normal working hours) so that the other parties may conveniently have a
representative present. If such representative is not present after the required notification at the time set in
such notice, calibration and adjustment may proceed in the absence of said representative notwithstanding any
other provision of this subsection.
If the percentage of' inaccuracy of the flow meter is found to be in excess of two percent,
registration thereof shall be corrected by agreement of NWC, NSMJAWA, and the Village, collectively, and
based upon the best data available, for a period extending back to the time when such inaccuracy began if such
time is ascertainable, or for a period extending back one-half of the time elapsed since the last date of
calibration (but in no event further back than a period of six months) if such time is not ascertainable.
If for any reason the flow meter is out of service or out of repair so that the amount of lake water
delivered cannot be ascertained or computed from the reading thereof, then the lake water delivered during
the period the flow meter is out of service or out of repair shall be estimated:
1. By correcting the error if the percentage' of the error is ascertainable by calibration tests
or mathematical calculations; or
2. If the error is not ascertainable by calibration tests or mathematical calculation, by
estimating the quantity of delivery by considering the quantity consumed by the
receiving party's own customers as measured by the meters located on their premises as
well as level changes in the receiving party's water storage facilities.
Section 5. Sharing of the costs, fees, and expenses of the Work. NWC will pay 50% of
items 1,2,3,6,7,8,12,13,14 and 16 thru 28 and 100% of items 11,30„ 35 set forth on Exhibit E which
totals $1,710,033.52 or 29 % of the actual costs, fees, and expenses for the Emergency Water System
Interconnection Improvements costs (the `Fork). It being further expressly understood and agreed
that the engineering costs incurred prior to the date of this Agreement are governed by a separate
agreement between the parties. Estimates of these expenditures are set forth in the Engineer's
Opinion of Probable Construction Cost prepared by Burns & McDonnell consulting engineers and
enclosed as Exhibit E. The Work shall be publicly bid. The bid documents shall provide for the right
to reject all bids for any reason. In addition, if the bid amount of the Work exceeds the Engineers
Estimate (Exhibit E) then each party to this Agreement shall have the right to reject said bids and
terminate the Agreement. The NWC and the Village agree the Party that contracts for the Work shall
pay for it and the non -contracting Party shall reimburse the contracting Party for one half of the cost
within forty five (45) days after receipt of written notice the reimbursement is required. Furthermore,
all Parties agree that NSMJAWA is a party to this Agreement, but shall not be responsible for the cost,
fees, and expenses of the Work. NWC and the Village further agree to hold NSMJAWA harmless
