3. The ASSOCIATION shall provide in the Declaration and Association Bylaws that the Disposal System will
be maintained out of the common expenses. In order to assure that there shall be funds readily available to
repair, maintain,or construct the Disposal System beyond the routine operation and maintenance expenses,
