Ecology will coordinate with the County to ensure the timely implementation of the pilot <br />programs. <br />2. Ecology will develop a Pilot Program Information Packet to be distributed to all qualifying Pilot <br />Project building permit applicants. The packet will include a description of the "Pilot Project" <br />program that explains the purpose of the program, ownership of the meter, maintenance <br />responsibilities, service provider software program access and benefits (conservation, leak <br />detection, etc.), contact information for the County and Ecology, and what to do in case of a <br />malfunction of the meter. <br />3. Ecology will provide Pilot Program Information Packets to the County. <br />4. Ecology will work with the County to ensure the timely reimbursement of expenditures as <br />outlined in the technical requirements section. <br />5. Ecology will reimburse the expenditures of the County quarterly. Reimbursement for meter costs <br />and meter installation costs will be based solely on the number of functional meters that have <br />been installed and are reporting. <br />6. Ecology will maintain an accounting of all costs, including department costs, and costs to the <br />County. <br />7. Ecology will report to the legislature according to the requirements in ESSB 6091. <br />Kittitas County (County): <br />1.

The County will ensure that the service provider's data management system is accessible by both <br />the County, the pilot project participant (metered property owner), and Ecology. <br />3. The County will ensure that the service provider's data management system meets Ecology's data <br />needs as defined in the Technical Requirements section. If those data needs are not completely <br />satisfied through the service provider's data management system, then it will be the responsibility <br />of the County to provide that data to Ecology. <br />4. The County will ensure that all existing meters within their current metering program are <br />retrofitted with the AMI -capable meter registers or replaced in their entirety with AMI -capable <br />meters if necessary. <br />The County will ensure that AMI -capable meters are installed and functional prior to occupancy <br />for all building permit applicants that meet the criteria as stated in the Technical Requirements <br />section. <br />6.
