Where the actual water consumption deviates from the water consumption plan to the certain percentage or certain size stipulated in Paragraph 2 of Article 4 of the Act shall mean that the scheduled water intake quantity in the water consumption plan reaching 20,000 cubic meters per day or more, the actual water consumption has not reached 70% of the approved water intake quantity for (3) three consecutive years and the discrepancy reaches an average of 3,000 cubic meters per day or more, according to the audit by the central competent authority.A developer meeting the requirements of the preceding Paragraph shall submit a variance analysis report to the central competent authority for review. The central competent authority may, depending on its discrepancy, adjust or reduce the originally approved yearly and final water usage plan in the water consumption plan, or adjust the certain percentage of systemic reclaimed water to be used within the range of variance.The adjustment of the certain percentage of systemic reclaimed water to be used in the preceding Paragraph shall be deliberated and determined on a case-by-case basis by the central competent authority, after evaluating the water supply conditions, industrial water consumption characteristics, the developer's water-saving efficiency, the construction status of adjacent public sewer systems and reclaimed water plants, and other relevant factors. Such percentage shall be lower than the percentages specified in Paragraph 1 of Article 3.
