In the event that individual homeowner(s) residing in already-developed acreage and/or a platted subdivision wish to be served by City water requiring construction of new trunk transmission and/or local distribution lines, the following procedures shall be followed:
(a) Upon written request for new transmission and/or local distribution lines from the subdivision President and/or Board of Directors, the City's Utilities Department shall develop a preliminary design and construction cost estimate for the project.
(b) The Utilities Department shall provide each homeowner to be served by the new transmission or local distribution lines with a project cost estimate that includes availability and connection fees, construction costs, engineering fees, project legal fees and easement right-of-way costs, all of which comprise the total project costs.
(c) Each homeowner wishing the project to proceed shall then sign an agreement stating that the homeowner has notice of and understands the project costs and is agreeable to the annexation of the homeowner's affected property into the City. In the case of an individual homeowner residing on already-developed acreage, the homeowner shall agree that the annexation of the homeowner's property being served hereunder shall be annexed into the City immediately upon the connection of the homeowner's property to the City's water system. For homeowners living in a platted subdivision, they shall agree that such annexation may occur at any time on or after the date on which the homeowner's then affected property is connected to the City's water system. This agreement must be signed by at least 35% of the homeowners in the affected subdivision, or by each homeowner on already-developed acreage that is not part of a platted subdivision, prior to the final preparation of plans and advertisement for project construction bids.
