Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024
The purpose of
						360 CMR 11.00 is to set forth
						the process for continued delivery of water by the Massachusetts Water Resources
						Authority to communities purchasing water from the Metropolitan District
						Commissio n or the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority on a contractual
						basis. This process, which is meant to be cooperative and to reflect obligations
						to be fulfilled by the Authority as well as by those communities it serves, is
						necessary to insure the continuation of water supply in a way that fully
						considers factors specified in St. 1984, c. 372.
Code of Massachusetts Regulations › 360 CMR - MASSACHUSETTS WATER RESOURCE AUTHORITY › Title 360 CMR 11.00 - Continuation Of Contract Water Supply › Section 11.03 - Assurance of Water Supply Continuation

Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024
The Authority will negotiate a Water Supply Continuation
						Agreement with each community that requests a continuation of its purchase of
						water supply from the Authority water supply system.
Code of Massachusetts Regulations › 360 CMR - MASSACHUSETTS WATER RESOURCE AUTHORITY › Title 360 CMR 11.00 - Continuation Of Contract Water Supply › Section 11.04 - Abandonment of Local Sources

Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024
No community shall abandon any local source and substitute for it
						water from MDC/Authority sources unless DEP has declared that the local source
						which is to be or has been abandoned is unfit for drinking and cannot be
						economically restored for drinking purposes.
Code of Massachusetts Regulations › 360 CMR - MASSACHUSETTS WATER RESOURCE AUTHORITY › Title 360 CMR 11.00 - Continuation Of Contract Water Supply › Section 11.05 - Contents of Water Supply Continuation Agreements

Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024
Water Supply Continuation Agreements are designed to provide for
						the purchase of specified volumes of water, stated on the basis of agreed-upon
						annual water volume and maximum daily water volume, for up to a ten-year period.
						A community's purchase of water will be made at the annually adopted prevailing
						rate for each year of the agreement period. The agreement will set forth
						finalized schedules agreed upon by the community and the Authority. The agreement
						will contain dispute resolution procedures as set forth at
						360 CMR
						11.14.
Code of Massachusetts Regulations › 360 CMR - MASSACHUSETTS WATER RESOURCE AUTHORITY › Title 360 CMR 11.00 - Continuation Of Contract Water Supply › Section 11.06 - Requesting Water Supply Continuation

Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024
To begin the water supply continuation agreement negotiation
						process, a community shall file a letter requesting continuation of its purchase
						of water supply with the Authority. The letter should state the volume of water
						on a maximum annual and maximum daily volume basis that the community expects to
						purchase during each year of the ten-year period following the community's
						contract termination date. The letter may be filed with the Authority at any
						time, but must be filed no later than 180 days before the community's contract
						termination date.
Code of Massachusetts Regulations › 360 CMR - MASSACHUSETTS WATER RESOURCE AUTHORITY › Title 360 CMR 11.00 - Continuation Of Contract Water Supply › Section 11.07 - Supplementary Report

Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024
In order to enable the negotiation of a water supply continuation
						agreement, each community shall submit a supplementary report. The community
						shall file the supplementary report with the Authority within 60 days after
						filing the letter requesting water supply continuation. If the Authority
						possesses any of the information required by a supplementary report, it will give
						that information to the community before the community prepares the
						report.
The supplementary report will contain:
(1) a Demand Analysis Report;
(2) a Supply Analysis Report;
(3) a Water Management Plan that has been
					approved by the WRC and adopted by the community or its equivalent, as defined in
					360 CMR 11.00;
(4) either a copy of the ordinance for
					protection of local water sources that the community has enacted or a proposed
					schedule for the enactment of such an ordinance;
(5) either a detailed description of the local
					user charge and accounting system that the community has adopted or a proposed
					schedule for the adoption of revisions, if any, to such a system; and
(6) a proposed schedule for the evaluation,
					development and use of potentially feasible new local water supply sources
					identified in the Supply Analysis Report.
The Authority will promptly acknowledge receipt of the
						supplementary report and within 30 days of receipt will inform the community
						whether the supplementary report is complete. Any identified deficiencies should
						be promptly remedied by the community. The Authority will promptly provide any
						information it possesses which may assist the community in remedying any
						deficiencies.
Code of Massachusetts Regulations › 360 CMR - MASSACHUSETTS WATER RESOURCE AUTHORITY › Title 360 CMR 11.00 - Continuation Of Contract Water Supply › Section 11.08 - Contents of Supplementary Report

Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024
(1) A
					Demand Analysis Report will be filed on a form to be provided by the Authority
					and will contain the following information:
(a)
					an estimate, on a total annual volume and average and maximum daily volume basis,
					of the amount of water that the community will require for the ten-year period
					following its contract termination date, the basis for the estimated demand and
					the source for the estimate;
(b) an
					estimate, also on a total annual volume and average and maximum daily volume
					basis, of the portions of water required during the proposed ten-year agreement
					period that are to be obtained from both MDC/Authority sources and from existing
					or proposed local sources. This same information shall also be provided, to the
					extent possible, for the five-year period following the end of the proposed
					ten-year agreement period;
(c) an
					explanation of the seasonal and daily use factors built into the total annual
					volume requested for the proposed ten-year agreement period and an estimate of
					both the domestic and non-domestic and unaccounted-for components of this annual
					volume;
(d) any existing local
					projections of water need after the 15-year period following the community's
					contract termination date;
(e)
					identification of all water users consuming greater than 20 million gallons a
					year;
(f) a written analysis of
					existing or anticipated trends, seasonal variations or other special
					characteristics of population or employment which should be taken into account in
					determining water demand for the community;
(g) available projections of demographic and
					employment information for the proposed ten-year agreement period;
(h) local water use and demand information for
					the five-year period preceding the community's contract termination date,
					including:
1. total annual water use and the
					amounts used from both local sources and from MDC/Authority sources;
2. maximum daily demand information for each
					year; and
3. an estimate of and the
					components of the annual volume of unaccounted-for water; and
(i) a summary of the current and
					planned local demand management programs the community will implement during the
					proposed ten-year agreement period, including a discussion of efforts to reach a
					goal of no more than 10% unaccounted-for water. An estimate of the potential
					average daily volume of water to be saved through these programs shall also be
					provided.
Code of Massachusetts Regulations › 360 CMR - MASSACHUSETTS WATER RESOURCE AUTHORITY › Title 360 CMR 11.00 - Continuation Of Contract Water Supply › Section 11.09 - Agreement Negotiations

Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024
The Authority will complete its review of the community's
						supplementary report no later than 30 days after receipt by the Authority of a
						complete report. Negotiations with the community will be undertaken if necessary.
						Upon successful completion of negotiations, a water supply continuation agreement
						will be executed. If negotiations are not necessary, a water supply continuation
						agreement will be executed upon completion of the Authority's review of the
						supplementary report.
Water supply continuation agreement negotiations will be
						necessary only if identified deficiencies in the community's supplementary report
						have not been reasonably resolved or if proposed schedules in the supplementary
						report do not reasonably promote substantial progress toward accomplishing the
						goals that they address.
Code of Massachusetts Regulations › 360 CMR - MASSACHUSETTS WATER RESOURCE AUTHORITY › Title 360 CMR 11.00 - Continuation Of Contract Water Supply › Section 11.10 - Interim Water Supply Orders

Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024
(1) If the
					Authority and a community are unable to negotiate the terms of a water supply
					continuation agreement by the contract termination date, the Authority may issue
					an interim water supply order. This order will allow a community to continue
					receiving its water supply from the Authority at the then effective prevailing
					rate. The order must be approved by the Authority's Board of Directors. It will
					cover a period of six months or less and it shall include a statement of maximum
					allowable daily water volume. The order may set forth reasonable interim
					schedules that address the factors set forth in the Authority's enabling act as
					necessary conditions to be met for the continuation of water supply after a
					community's contract termination date. The order will contain dispute resolution
					procedures as set forth at
					360 CMR
					11.14.
(2) Agreement negotiations shall continue
					during the term of an interim water supply order.
(3) If an agreement has not been reached by the
					expiration date of the interim water supply order, the Authority may thereafter
					reissue the order for such periods and under such terms as the Authority deems
					appropriate. Such a reissuance must be approved by the Authority's Board of
					Directors.
Code of Massachusetts Regulations › 360 CMR - MASSACHUSETTS WATER RESOURCE AUTHORITY › Title 360 CMR 11.00 - Continuation Of Contract Water Supply › Section 11.11 - Amendments to Agreement for Water Supply Continuation

Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024
(1) If a community determines that the water
					volumes designated in its water supply continuation agreement are insufficient to
					meet newly projected demand over the period of the Agreement, the community may
					petition the Authority to amend the Agreement.
(2) A petition for agreement amendment will be
					made by letter and will include:
(a) a
					statement of revised circumstances regarding local demand and/or supply and the
					impact of those circumstances on the amount of water needed by the
					community;
(b) an assessment of the
					effectiveness of the community's Water Management Plan;
(c) an identification of demand management
					measures implemented by the community; and

						water supply only if:
(a) the
					development of that local source is technically and economically feasible and can
					be conducted in complicance with all applicable state and federal environmental
					regulations; and
(b) The community
					wherein the local source is located agrees, through an amendment to the
					Agreement, that the distribution of all water produced by that source shall be
					subject to the exclusive control and direction of the Authority.
Code of Massachusetts Regulations › 360 CMR - MASSACHUSETTS WATER RESOURCE AUTHORITY › Title 360 CMR 11.00 - Continuation Of Contract Water Supply › Section 11.13 - Full-cost Pricing

Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024

						to develop and implement a full-cost pricing system within 12 months from the
						date when all municipalities (other than those communities which are subject to
						360 CMR 11.00 ) listed in St.
						1984, c. 374, §. 8(d) of the enabling act have imposed a full-cost pricing
						system.
Code of Massachusetts Regulations › 360 CMR - MASSACHUSETTS WATER RESOURCE AUTHORITY › Title 360 CMR 11.00 - Continuation Of Contract Water Supply › Section 11.14 - Dispute Resolution Process

Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024
(1) In light of the
					general legal requirement that those aggrieved by the actions of administrative
					bodies such as the Authority be given an opportunity to appeal from those
					actions, the Authority has established an administrative hearing process. That
					process is set forth in the Authority's Regulations for the Conduct of
					Adjudicatory Proceedings,
					360 CMR

						360 CMR
						12.00 shall be performed on all portions of the
						municipal distribution system.
Code of Massachusetts Regulations › 360 CMR - MASSACHUSETTS WATER RESOURCE AUTHORITY › Title 360 CMR 12.00 - Leak Detection Regulations › Section 12.06 - Methods

Current through Register 1525, July 5, 2024
Sonic leak surveys shall be required for all underground pipe.
						Visual inspection of tanks, reservoirs and above ground pipe is acceptable. The
						following general procedures shall be followed:
(1) Available points of direct contact to the
					distribution piping system shall be sounded, including valves, hydrants and
					selected sidewalk service connections.
(2) Inpaved roadways, a ground microphone shall
					be used to listen over the pipeline at intervals not to exceed ten
					feet.
(3) In unpaved areas, a pattern
					of listening points shall be established to ensure complete coverage.
(4) Indications of leakage shall be
					investigated immediately and shall be pinpointed to the most probable point of
					leakage, with location clearly marked by an acceptable method such as paint on
					pavement or stake in earth and reference measurements to a permanent structure
					taken.
(5) The leak shall be
					classified as to estimated water loss and severity. A leakage site report shall
					be prepared for each suspected point of leakage.
If leakage potential is less than 10%, the sounding of only
						direct contacts such as hydrants is allowable with use of ground microphones for
						pinpointing only. District measurement shall also constitute an appropriate
						method of leakage investigation. If the community demonstrates through district
						measurement that all or a portion of the municipal distribution system has a low
						ratio of minimum night rate to total consumption, the sounding of only direct
						contacts such as hydrants for the applicable districts will be allowed; if the
						ratio is greater than 40% and cannot be attributed to industrial use at night,
						such districts shall be investigated by a full sonic survey.

Explanation of Calculation
						Requirements
1.
					Total Water Use is the sum of all MWRA supply meters, master meters from local
					sources and transfers to and from other communities.
2. Metered Domestic Use is intended to include
					actual metered consumption and estimation (resulting from broken meters, lockouts
					and other problems) upon which billing was based. Domestic Use is intended to
					include only residential use, provided that meter classification used by the
					community allows such differentiation. If the community classifies metered
					services by a different system (such as meter size) than the classification
					should be explained on an attached page.
3. Metered Non-Domestic Use is also intended to
					include actual meter consumption and estimation as was used for billing purposes.
					Variations in meter classification should be explained on an attached
					page.
4. Unaccounted-for Water is
					intended to be the remainder after Metered Domestic and Non-Domestic Use are
					subtracted from Total Water Use.
5.
					Domestic Meter Under-Registration will be assumed to be zero unless evidence is
					submitted to the contrary by the community. Satisfactory evidence shall be meter
					accuracy test data for are presentative sample of residential meters. Any entry
					greater than zero must have supporting evidence.
6. Non-Domestic Meter Under-Registration will
					also be assumed to be zero unless evidence is submitted to the contrary.
					Satisfactory evidence shall be meter accuracy test data for a representative
					sample of non-domestic meters including as many large flow meters as possible.
					Any entry greater than zero must have supporting evidence.
7. MWRA will accept a value of 1% of total use
					unless the community has data to support a different value. Public Use includes
					fire fighting, municipal hydrant use such as sewer and main flushing, unmetered
					parts or recreation facilities and other similar municipal uses.
8. Leakage Potential is intended to be the
					remainder after all consumptive uses are subtracted. MWRA intends that Leakage
					Potential, as calculated in the above steps, will be indicative of the scope of
					the community's leakage problem
