            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 for the duration stated above, and shall bind any 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 water use on the Subject Property, as defined by District Rule 11, will require prior written authorization and permits 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 Subject Property is approved, connection charges and other administrative fees may be required as a condition of approval.

 


            NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that in the event intensification of water use on Subject Property occurs without such an authorizing permit, all water use on this site may thereafter be revoked in accord with Water Management District Rules, which state, “Intensification of Water Use without a permit shall provide cause for revocation by the District of all water use by any person on that Site.”  Such revocation could cause the irrevocable extinction of any right or entitlement to water use, water use capacity, or water credit for the Subject Property.

            The Owner(s) and 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 District.

                                               

            The Owner(s) elects and irrevocably covenants with the District to abide by the conditions of this Notice and Deed Restriction.  But for the limitations and notices set forth herein, approval of this water use transfer 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 Covenant shall have no termination date unless amended by the filing of a less restrictive deed restriction. 

 

            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.  The Owner(s) further agree to notify any present and future tenant of the Subject Property of this terms and conditions of this document.  (Signatures must be notarized).
