(A) Charge Payment: For each initial or new connection made to the water system, the property owner shall pay the city an initial payment as a capital improvement charge. Capital improvement charges shall be set by resolution by the board and shall be expressed as dollars per water unit. All monies generated by capital improvement charges shall be placed in the water fund and shall be designated for use by the board by a resolution.
(B) Modification And Expansion Of Facilities: If any modification or expansion to the premises increases the WU count, the director shall determine the additional capital improvement charge. In converting a residential building to a commercial use on a lot with previous water service (in which the building has been demolished or removed) the applicant shall pay the capital improvement charge based upon the net increase in WUs.
(C) Payment: The capital improvement charge shall be payable on demand to the city at the time of the application and prior to installation. (Ord. 219, 10-11-2006)
