SYSTEM EXTENSIONS ,TO SERVE SINGLE CUSTOM~RS
OR GROUPS OF IND~PENDENT SINGLE CUSTOMERS
A. GENERAL.
This section shall apply only to Single Customers or Groups,of
Independent Single Customers requiring system extensions to satisfy the
requirements of Point of Service for connect~on to the City's water OY'
sewe)~age sys terns, and it shall s pecifi ca 11y exc 1 ude extens,i ons for Sub-
divisions which are covered in Section 6.
The City will extend its existing Water Distribution Mains a distance
of not more than fifty (501) feet and its existing Lateral Sewers or Sewer
~1ains a distance of not more than one hundred (100 I) feet per connection in
any dedicated street or alley without additional cost to each Customer above
the standard connection charge as covered in Section 4.
Should one or more single customer(s) desire service which necessitates
an extension of more than fifty (50 I) feet per water connection o,r one hundred
000') feet per sewer connection involved, such customer(s) may advance the
fundi ng .equi red wi thprovisi ons for future refundi ng as additi ontil customers
pay for connecting to the system by the procedure set forth under liB II, following.
The Ci ty does not commit to a pol i cy of fund-j ng sys tern extens ions 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 their own sole discretion. In such cases, priorities of projects will'
be based upon the Hell being of the public relative to health and sani,tation,
as well as the willingness of the customers involved to participate in costs.
B. METHOD OF PROCEDURE.
Where one or more Single Customer(s) desires to advance the funding
necessary for the City to extend either its water or sewerage systems, or
both, beyond the amounts specified to satisfy the requirements for Points of
Service for their property, they shall make their request to the City Secretary
in writing, stating the lot and block number, name of subdivision ands-b~eet
address of the property to be served and the type or types of service required.
Each request shall be signed by all property owners initially requesting
service and their signatures shall be identified with the property they
desire to be served.
Upon receipt of such y'equest, the City SeCI'etary will instruct the
City's'Engineer(s) to prepare an estimate of the cost of the extensions
beyond the Point of Set'vice which shall include actual constructionctlst
p1 us an allowance of ten (10%) percent of such cos ts to cover the
administY'ation~ field surveys and tontinger;ci6s.
The estimated amount of the construction cost plus ten (10%) perc,ent as
,detennined above for extending the Distribution Mains" Lateral Sewers or
Sewer Mains Qeyond the amoun~ of the extension required to satisfy Point
of Service for each customer, plus the applitabl~Connection tharge and
5.01
and meter deposit prescribed for each of the initial customers requlrlng
the extension as set forth in Section 4 shall be deposited with the City by
the individuals in proportions determined as hereinafter provided before
construction is intiated by the City.
Each Single Customer participating in system extensions under this
section of the city's policies shall execute a written agreement with
the city setting forth in detail the location, extent, total and Single
Customer cost of the extensions, and the name and address of the person
to whom any refunds are payable.
After all required deposits are posted with the City, the applicants
may stipulate that competitive bids be received from private Contactors for
performing the extension, otherwise it will be left to the option of the
City whether the work is let by competitive bids or performed by the City
forces for the amount of the estimate.
If bids are received on the work, the amounts of the deposits will be
adjusted by additional collection or refunds to the actual contract cost
plus ten (10%) percent plus the applicable connection charges and meter
deposits. Such adjustment shall be made upon completion of the work and
prior to connecting the customer for service.
C. DETERMINATION OF PROPORTIONS OF EXTENSION CHARGES ASSIGNED TO
RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATING IN EXTENSIONS BY GROUPS.
Where groups of single customers join together to accomplish system
extensions for service as provided above, the proportion of the cost
assigned to each individual customer shall be determined as follows:
1. The total construction cost of the sewer and/or water main extension
including all appurtenances and water service connections, but not
service sewers, shall first be determined. ---
2. The cost equivalent of 100 feet of sewer main and/or 50 feet of water
main shall be subtracted from the cost determined by 1. above for each
service connection involved in the group participation
3. The difference thus obtained shall be the participant's share of
the construction cost of the extension, to which is added 10%.
4. The participants total extension cost shall be proportioned to the
individual single customers by a combined relationship of individual IS
"Front Footage" as \'ie 11 as di stance from pri or termi na ti on of sys tern
as fo 11 ows :
'"
a. The distance from prior termination of system to the proposed
service connection location shall be determined for each partici-
pant and all these distances shall be added together.
b. The Front Footage length of all participants shall be added
together.
5.02
c. The combined total of a & b above shall be divided into the
individual totals of distance from prior system plus front footage,
thus providing the factor which when multiplied by the group of
participants total extension costs gives the individual1s share.
In addition to extension costs thus determined, the Customers shall
also pay the Connection Charges and meter deposits as provided in Section 4
and provide their own sewer service line and/or water connection to the meter.
D. SUBSEQUENT CONNECTIONS TO EXTENSIONS PAID FOR BY SINGLE CUSTOMERS OR
GROUPS OF SINGLE CUSTOMERS.
As intermediate customers between the last previous Point of Service
and the extended Point of Service request and pay the standard Connection
Charges plus extension charges as required to satisfy the Intermediate
customer's Point of Service Requirement. refunds will be made to the customers
who paid for the extension until the full amount advanced to the City for the
extension has been repaid. Refunds shall be made to the initial customers
within thirty (30) days after the new customer Connection Charges have been
paid to the City, and shall be divided among the initial participants in the
same proportion as their participation in the extension.
