NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that Water Management District has determined that {0.000} Acre-Feet of water is associated with the Water Permit for the Low-Income Housing. District Rule 24.5-B-2 allows a fee exemption when the project meets the definition of Low-Income Housing. Each Residential Connection which supplies water to a Dwelling Unit meeting the definition of Low-Income Housing shall be exempt from one-hundred percent (100%) of the Connection Charge required pursuant to Rule 24 during the period that the Dwelling Unit continuously meets the definition of Low-Income Housing.

NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that any change of water use from a Low-Income Housing use to any other Residential or Non-Residential use shall constitute an Intensification of Use which shall require payment at the then-present value of Connection Charges to the Water Management District both for the intensification of Water Use Capacity and for the increment of water use which had originally been exempted from the full fee. All other Permit conditions, processing fees and surcharges shall apply to these Connections, including all water conservation standards required as a condition of the Water Permit or other applicable regulations.

Owner(s) acknowledges that the condition requiring these Dwelling Units to be occupied as Low-Income Housing on the Subject Property has been voluntarily accepted as a condition of Water Permit No. {INSERT PERMIT NUMBER} and is permanent and irrevocable, unless amended by the filing of a less restrictive deed restriction.

NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that this agreement is binding and has been voluntarily entered into by Owner(s), and each of them, and constitutes a mandatory condition precedent to receipt of regulatory approval from the Water Management District relating to the Subject Property. This agreement attaches to the land and shall bind any tenant, successor or assignee of Owner(s).

NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that present and/or future use of water at the Subject Property site is restricted by Water Management District Rules and Regulations to the water use requirements referenced above. Any Intensification of Use on the Subject Property, as defined by Water Management District Rule 11, or any change in the quantity or type of water fixtures listed above, will require prior written authorization and Permit from the Water Management District. Approval may be withheld by the Water Management District, in accord with then applicable provisions of law. Present or future Allocations of water may not be available to grant any Permit to Intensify Water Use at this site. If any request to Intensify Water Use on the Subject Property is approved, Connection Charges and other administrative fees may be required as a condition of approval.

NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that modification or Intensification of Water Use on the Subject Property that occurs without the advance written approval of the Water Management District is a violation of Water Management District Rules and may result in a monetary penalty for each offense as allowed by Water Management District Rules. Each separate day, or portion thereof, during which any violation occurs or continues without a good faith effort by the Responsible Party to correct the violation shall be deemed to constitute a separate offense. All Water Users within the jurisdiction of the Water Management District are subject to the Water Management District Rules, including Rules 11, 20, 21, 23, 24, and 148.

The Owner(s) and the Water Management District each intend that this Notice and Deed Restriction act as a deed restriction upon the Subject Property, and that it shall be irrevocable under its terms. This document shall be enforceable by the Water Management District or any public entity that is a successor to the Water Management District.

The Owner(s) elects and irrevocably covenants with the Water Management District to abide by the conditions of this Notice and Deed Restriction to enable issuance of the referenced Water Permit(s). But for the limitations and notices set forth herein, approval of a Water Permit(s) with a Connection Charge exemption would otherwise be withheld and found to be inconsistent with the Water Management District Rules and Regulations.

This Notice and Deed Restriction is placed upon the Subject Property. Any transfer of this property, or an interest therein, is subject to this deed restriction. This Notice and Deed Restriction shall have no termination date unless amended by the filing of a less restrictive deed restriction.

If any provision of this Notice and Deed Restriction is held to be invalid, or for any reason becomes unenforceable, no other provision shall thereby be affected or impaired.

The undersigned Owner(s) agrees with and accepts all terms of this document stated above, and requests and consents to recordation of this Notice and Deed Restriction Regarding Limitation on Use of Water on a Property for Low-Income Housing. The Owner(s) further agrees to notify any present and future tenant of the Subject Property of the terms and conditions of this document.
