Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all those parties who claim water, wastewater,
and/or reclaimed water capacity pursuant to any service agreement which is set forth
in Article III of the Transfer Agreement between the City and St. Lucie County, dated
June 28, 1994, service agreements with the City predating the effective date of this
chapter (hereafter said agreements) shall be entitled to receive service pursuant
to the terms of said contracts. The terms of these rules and Chapter 61 of this title shall be applied and interpreted consistent with Florida law, the Transfer
Agreement (including but not limited to Paragraph 5.4 thereof), and the provisions
of any City agreements. Nothing contained in this provision shall be construed, however,
to contract away the City's ability to otherwise amend or enforce Chapter 61 or 62 of this title in the same manner in which its predecessors in interest, General Development
Utilities, Inc., and St. Lucie County, Florida, had the ability to modify said agreements
or the rates, fees, charges, and policies, rules, and regulations set forth therein
or contemplated thereby.
