assimilate the reclaimed water, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions including
Division required actions, such as the construction of additional or replacement reclaimed water
distribution facilities.
2. This permit shall not relieve the Permittee of their responsibility for damages to groundwater or
surface water resulting from the operation of this reclaimed water distribution line.
