Luminant will be obligated under contract to make monthly payments to Dallas based
upon 8,000 ac-ft of water per year for calendar year 2012. Monthly payments for
calendar year 2013 will be based upon the amount of water (up to 8,000 ac-ft) that
Luminant plans to purchase from Dallas in 2013.
Contract includes provision whereby Luminant agrees that during periods of water
shortages Dallas may, in accordance with its drought contingency plan as approved by
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), reasonably restrict
Luminant’s withdrawals of untreated water when such water is needed for Dallas’
municipal use. No restrictions will be imposed on Luminant unless Dallas has imposed
restrictions on withdrawals as to all similarly situated users.
