MGT440 (or comparable official record in use at the time), adjusted as required for any reporting errors or omissions, and will be transmitted by the SFPUC General Manager or his designee. 2.3. Limited Auolicability of Plan to Svstem Wide Shortages Greater Than Twentv Percent. The allocations of water between the SFPUC and the Suburban Purchasers collectively, provided for in Section 2. 1, apply only to shortages of 20 percent or less. The SFPUC and Suburban Purchasers recognize the possibility of a drought occurring which could create system -wide shortages greater than 20 percent despite actions taken by the SFPUC aimed at reducing the probability and severity of water shortages in the SFPUC service area. If the SFPUC determines that a system wide water shortage greater than 20 percent exists, the SFPUC and the Suburban Purchasers agree to meet within 10 days and discuss whether a change is required to the allocation set forth in Section 2.1 in order to mitigate undue hardships that might otherwise be experienced by individual Suburban Purchasers or Direct City Water Users. Following these discussions, the water allocation set forth in Section 2.1 of this Plan, or a modified version thereof, may be adopted by mutual written consent of the SFPUC and the Suburban Purchasers. If the SFPUC and Suburban Purchasers meet and cannot agree on an appropriate allocation within 30 days of the SFPUC's determination of water shortage greater than 20 percent, then (1) the provisions of Section 7.03(b) of the Master Contract will apply, unless (2) all of the Suburban Purchasers direct in writing that an allocation methodology agreed to by them be used to apportion the water to be made available to the Suburban Purchasers collectively, in lieu of the provisions of Section 7.03(b). The provisions of this Plan relating to transfers (in Sectior: 2.5), banking (in Section 3), and excess use charges (in Section 4) shall continue to apply during system -wide shortages greater than 20 percent. 2.4. Monthly Water Budgets. Within 10 days after adopting a declaration of water shortage emergency, the SFPUC will determine the amount of water allocated to the Suburban Purchasers collectively pursuant to Section 2.1. The SFPUC General Manager, using the percentages shown on the list delivered by BAWUA pursuant to Section 2.2, will calculate each Suburban Purchaser's individual annual allocation. The SFPUC General Manager, or his designee, will then provide each Suburban Purchaser with a proposed schedule of monthly water budgets based on the pattern of monthly water purchases during the Supply Year immediately preceding the declaration of shortage (the "Default Schedule "). Each Suburban Purchaser may, within two weeks of receiving its Default Schedule, provide the SFPUC with an alternative monthly water budget that reschedules its annual shortage allocation over the course of the succeeding Supply Year. If a Suburban Purchaser does not deliver an alternative monthly water budget to the SFPUC within two weeks of its receipt of the Default Schedule, then its monthly budget for the ensuing Supply Year shall be the Default Schedule proposed by the SFPUC. Monthly water budgets will be derived from annual allocations for purposes of accounting for excess use. Monthly water budgets shall be adjusted during the year to account for transfers of shortage allocation under Section 2.5 and transfers of banked water under Section 3.4. 2.5. Transfers of Shortage Allocations. Voluntary transfers of shortage allocations between the SFPUC and any Suburban Purchasers, and between any Suburban Purchasers, will be permitted 10 tow
