NOTICE AND DEED RESTRICTION

REGARDING LIMITATION ON USE

OF WATER ON A PROPERTY

 

            NOTICE IS GIVEN that the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (hereinafter referred to as the Water Management District), duly formed as a water district and public entity pursuant to the provisions of law found at Statutes of 1977, Chapter 527, as amended (found at West’s California Water Code Appendix, Chapters 118-1 to 118-901), has approved water service to the real property referenced below as “Subject Property.”

           

            NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that the real property affected by this agreement is situated in the {JURISDICTION}:

 

{STREET ADDRESS}

{LEGAL DESCRIPTION}

ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER {ENTER PARCEL NUMBER}

 

This real property is hereinafter referred to as the “Subject Property.” The Subject Property is located within the jurisdiction of the Water Management District. {PROPERTY OWNER NAME(S)}, (hereinafter referred to as Owner(s)), are record owner(s) of the Subject Property.

 

            NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that the Water Management District has determined that   {X.XXX} acre-feet of Water Use Credits have been identified as a permanent requirement of the Subject Property and that those water use credits have been obtained from {INDICATE APN, LEGAL DESCRIPTION AND JURISDICTION FOR ADJACENT PROPERTY supplying CREDIT}.

 

            Owners and Water Management District further agree that the maximum permitted water use at the Subject Property is limited to supply the potable water requirements for a vacant lot consisting of:

{X.XXX} acre-feet of Water Use Credits

 

No water use other than those listed above have been approved or authorized for use on the Subject Property.

 

Owner(s) acknowledges that the limitation on water use credits referenced above has been voluntarily accepted 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 and is also a mandatory condition precedent to assignment of the Water Use Credit referenced above. This agreement attaches to the land, 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.  Any intensification of water use on the Subject Property, as defined by Water Management District Rule 11, 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 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, any and 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.

 


            NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that intensification of water use on 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, 23, and 148.

                                   

            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 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.  But for the limitations and notices set forth herein, issuance of this water permit 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.  The Owner(s) further agrees to notify any present and future tenant of the Subject Property of the terms and conditions of this document.

 

            OWNER(S) agrees to recordation of this Notice and Deed Restriction in the Recorder’s Office for the County of Monterey.  Owner(s) further unconditionally accepts the terms and conditions stated above.  (Signatures must be notarized)
