Production limits under this right shall not exceed City injection by more than an average of 92.1 acre-feet (af) (30 million gallons) per year for any five (5) year period, and production shall not exceed injection by more than 153 af (50 million gallons) in any single year. Provided, production may exceed injection by more than 153 af per year in any single year only to the extent required due to catastrophic system failure, acts of God, war, fire, flood, other natural disaster, or other emergency circumstances. In such circumstances, the City must re-attain a rate of injection of all production in excess of 92.1 af per year as soon as feasible. |
