13.20.015 Responsibility for cost.
A. The developer shall be responsible for the entire cost of
the extension of the main, required to meet the minimum standard or required to
meet the needs of the development, in order to furnish water or sewer
service.
B. If new customers either inside or outside the city limits
request service from undersized or inadequate mains, the city may require the
customer to contribute to the cost of upgrading the existing main according to a
written agreement approved by the city council.
C. The utility may require the developer to install
facilities larger than the minimum required by standard and necessary to service
developer’s project. If the utility desires such a change, it shall enter
into an agreement with the developer, prior to construction, to reimburse the
developer for additional cost the developer will incur in construct in
constructing the change.
D. Whenever any applicant for water or sewer service desires
to make a service line connection to a water main or sewer main constructed by
an extension developer, such applicant shall have the obligation, in addition to
other obligations provided for, to make payment to the extension developer.
Such payment shall be an apportioned share of the eligible total cost of the
main, calculated in accordance with this chapter.
E. Whenever any developer desires to make an extension of a
water main or sewer main and such an extension will connect to a main already
constructed by an extension developer at his expense, to standards higher than
the minimum required and standards higher than those required to provide service
to the extension developer, such new developer shall have the obligation, in
addition to other obligations provided for, to make payment to the extension
developer. Such payment shall be an apportioned share of the cost of the main
directly related to constructing to a higher standard, calculated in accordance
with this chapter. (Ord. 655 § 1(part), 2004)
