The Town shall have dominion and control of all water supplied through its water system, subject to reasonable use thereof by its customers in compliance with applicable water service agreements, leases or licenses or the Town’s ordinances. Such dominion and control shall continue without interruption as to all wastewater, return flows, runoff, sewage or tail water attributable to or originating in water supplied through Town-owned or Town-controlled water rights, water shares, or facilities. The Town shall have the exclusive right to recapture such return flows or claim credit therefrom for reuse, successive use, exchange, replacement, augmentation, substitute supply or any other lawful purposes, and the Town’s dominion and control over water shall continue to attach to all such return flows, regardless of form, even after they return to the groundwater aquifers or the surface stream systems. All return flows from water supplied through Town-owned or Town-controlled water rights, water shares, or facilities remain the property of the Town. (Ord. 1387 §1, 2023)
