Washington Aqueduct. The Government will provide a communication control center at the Washington Aqueduct for the administration of the allocation plan as provided herein. The Washington Aqueduct Division, U.S. Army Engineer District, Baltimore (“the Aqueduct”), will collect, receive, record and accumulate daily reports regarding the flow of the Potomac River and the quantities of water being withdrawn from the defined portion of the Potomac River, and the quantities of water withdrawn and available from all other sources for use within the Washington Metropolitan Area, by the parties and the political subdivisions, authorities, and permittees of any of them, and by any other water withdrawing entity which may formally be added or made subject to this Agreement subsequent to its initial execution. Subject to the parties' rights of appeal to the Moderator, the parties grant to the Aqueduct, and to each other, the right to inspect documents, records, meters, facilities and other items necessary to decide any question or verify reports made by any party as a consequence of this agreement. Beginning with the Alert Stage, the Aqueduct will keep the Moderator informed as to the stage of flow in the Potomac River, and, during the Restriction and Emergency Stages the fair share allocated to each user, and all information utilized for determining the allocation. The Aqueduct will provide all parties with the same information relating to allocation, the quantities of water being withdrawn by all users from any and all sources, and the flow of the Potomac River. To permit uniformity of reports and to implement the administrative measures specified herein, reports and calculations, by or to the Aqueduct, of daily withdrawals or daily flows, will be based on the twenty-four hour period from one midnight to the following midnight, unless the parties subsequently agree to a different twenty-four hour measuring period. The Aqueduct will calculate the total daily flow by adding the withdrawals during the previous 24 hours at all withdrawal points and the remaining daily flow over the Washington Aqueduct Dam at Little Falls, as determined by the readings recorded on the USGS gage at Little Falls during the preceding twenty- four (24) hours. The average reading will determine the flow over the dam for the previous day.
