installed pursuant to Section 5 hereof and the customer
is not a participating individual, the charge for the
right to connect to the system shall be computed as
follows:
The individual customer's "front footage" divided
by the summation of all the individual customer's
"front footages" receiving "point of service" by
the sewer lateral extension project multiplied
times the total cost of the sewer lateral
extension project including the cost of street
repairs, other repairs and appurtenances.
THAT Parts A, B, C and D of Section 5 of the Water and
Sewer Policy of the City of Col1eyville, which is
Appendix A to Chapter II of the Colleyville Code, be
amended to read as follows:
"A. GENERAL.
This Section shall apply only to single customers
or groups of independent customers requiring system
extensions to provide for connecting to the City's
sewer or water systems, including subdivisions which
have not previously been served by City sewers but
excluding extensions for subdivisions which are
covered in Section 6.
The City will extend its water distribution main
a distance of not more than 50 feet per connection in
any dedicated street or alley without additional cost
to the customer above the standard connection charges
covered in Section 4. The City will extend lateral
sewers or sewer mains only upon the payment of actual
costs by the customer as provided in Section 4.
Should one or more single customers desire service
which necessitates an extension of more than 50 feet
per water connection or an extension of lateral sewers
or sewer mains, such customers may advance the funding
required with provision for future refunding as
additional customers pay for connecting to the system
by the procedure set forth under "B" following.
The Ci ty does not commit to a policy of funding
system extensions from surplus revenues, bond funds or
other public sources of funds; however, in the event
such funds become available, the City reserves the
right to do so at its sole discretion. In such cases,
priority of projects will be based upon the well-being

of the public relative to health and sanitation, as
well as the willingness of the customers involved to
participate in the cost.
