Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
The following words and terms, when used in this subchapter,
				  shall have the following meanings unless the context clearly indicates
				  otherwise:
"Annual overdraft rate" means the rate for a System water
				  user's average daily diversion for any calendar year in excess of the System
				  water user's daily uninterruptible service.
"Authority" means the New Jersey Water Supply Authority
				  established pursuant to
				  58:1B-1 et seq.
"Daily allotment charge" means a daily allocation charge
				  equal to 100 percent of the value of the quantity of water specified in the
				  water use agreement which the System water user is authorized to continuously
				  withdraw without interruption each 24-hour period (see
				  7:11-2.7 ).
"Overdraft service" means the average daily supply of water
				  from the Raritan Basin System during any calendar month, to the extent and from
				  time to time available, in excess of aggregate uninterruptible service, for
				  certain, seasonal, non-emergent, interim, interruptible, non-guaranteed
				  users.
"Overdraft service rate" means the rate for overdraft
				  service.
"Peaking factor" means the percentage equivalent of that
				  volume of overdraft service available from the Raritan Basin System during any
				  calendar month in excess of uninterruptible service, which a System water user
				  may divert without charge.
"Point of diversion" means the location where the user's
				  withdrawal facilities diverts the contractual water supply from the Raritan
				  Basin System.
"Production factor" means the inverse ratio between any
				  allocation for a depletive water diversion above the confluence of the
				  Millstone and Raritan Rivers and its equivalent in sustained supply at the
				  confluence at the Millstone and Raritan Rivers as follows: production factor =
				  safe yield at the confluence/yield at the point of diversion (see
				  7:11-2.9 ).
"Retroactive debt service payment" means a payment in
				  addition to the daily allotment charge which shall apply to all new or
				  additional uninterruptible water supply contracts in order to proportionately
				  reimburse pre-existing System water users for certain debt service payments
				  previously made by them (see
				  7:11-2.13(c) and
				  (d) ).
"Short-term service" means the supply of Raritan Basin System
				  water for certain interim or short-term uses, such as growing agricultural or
				  horticultural products, meeting extraordinary requirements in consumer demand
				  for potable or industrial water as a result of transfers arising from a
				  declaration of drought by the Department, meeting non-seasonal extraordinary
				  requirements in consumer demand for potable or industrial water or emergent
				  maintenance or temporary failure of a critical component of a System water
				  user's infrastructure provided on a non-guaranteed or interruptible
				  basis.
"Standby service" means the supply of Raritan Basin System
				  water for certain occasional uses, such as fire protection or other
				  emergencies, natural or otherwise.
"System water user" (also referred to as "contractual water
				  customer," "purchaser" and/or "user") means a party under legal contract with
				  the Authority for a supply of raw water from the Raritan Basin System.
"Uninterruptible service" means the supply of water from the
				  Raritan Basin System which a System water user is authorized continuously to
				  withdraw, without interruption, for potable or industrial water supply purposes
				  pursuant to contract.
