§ 13.20.080. Water main charge.

A.

Before water is supplied from any existing water main installed subsequent to June 1, 1945, a water main charge or a special connection charge shall be paid by the owner/developer. If a special connection charge has been established for the main in question, then the special connection charge shall be paid. If no special connection charge has been established, then a water main charge based on the front footage of the premises to be served shall be paid. The amount of the front footage charge shall be based on the Department's then current cost of installing 6-inch water mains as determined by the general manager.

B.

Before water is served to any development requiring the installation of new mains or the extension of existing mains, the total cost of such new mains or extensions shall be paid. In cases where such new mains or extensions may be of benefit to more than a single development, the general manager may establish a special connection charge which shall be paid in lieu of the total cost of the main. The special connection charge shall be paid by all future connectors to the main or extension.
