§ 38-52. Pass through of certain fines.

In the event that (i) the authority is fined, or negotiates the settlement of a disputed fine or claim by the payment of negotiated consideration to a regulatory agency, either for violating any of the authority's surface water withdrawal permits or for operating any of its treatment plants at a rate in excess of any of its operating permits, and (ii) such alleged permit violation is a result of excessive demand for water by one or more of the authority's wholesale customers, then the authority shall pass through such fine or negotiated consideration on a pro rata basis to those of its wholesale customers determined by it in an equitable manner to be experiencing excessive aggregate demand for water during the month of the alleged permit violation.
