In granting the privileges of access to, or use of, the watershed, the reservoirs or any other property of WSSC for any purpose whatever, WSSC does not warrant that its property is suitable for the purpose for which the privilege or permit is granted, or that it is safe for any specific purpose, whether or not a permit is issued pursuant to these regulations, and whether or not a permit fee has been received, notwithstanding the fact that a particular portion of WSSC’s property may be specified in the permit. WSSC will not be responsible for any damage, injury or death resulting from an accident on any of its property, notwithstanding the fact that negligence of any employee of the WSSC may contribute to such accident or drowning. By accepting the permit, or by using the privilege granted, the permittee thereby agrees to use the property in the condition in which s/he finds it, and agrees to assume all responsibility for her/his own safety and the safety of any minors who accompany her/him; and s/he thereby releases WSSC from all claims and causes of action whatsoever arising out of the issuance of the permit, or arising out of access to and use of WSSC property, whether or not such claim or cause of action arises by virtue of the negligence of the WSSC or any of its agents or employees. The permit fees as listed on www.wsscwater.com are not charges for use of the property of the WSSC, but are applied as partial reimbursement to the WSSC for its expenses in maintaining facilities and regulating the use of its property for the benefit of the permittees and for the protection of WSSC’s water supply.
