The developer shall pay the costs for utility extension using one of the following two options:
A. Option I. The developer shall pay in full for the rights-of-way, the construction and installation of the lines, pipes and mains, and all other features of the extension.
B. Option II.
1. The construction cost of the extension shall be determined and agreed upon prior to commencement of construction after the developer has submitted a cost breakdown to the city engineer. The engineering costs incurred by the developer for the preparation of plans and staking of the main sewer only, may be included in the agreed construction cost. Costs of lateral and branch sewers and their appurtenances will not be included in the agreed construction cost or in the main sewer project agreement. The city reserves the right to reject the developer's cost breakdown if they are in appreciable variance within the city's estimate.
2. In the event that the area to be serviced by the developer is the entire area described herein as the maximum service area, then the developer will pay in full for the construction cost and will not be eligible for repayment. In the event that the area to be serviced by the developer is lesser in size than the maximum area to be serviced by the proposed main sewer line and its ultimate branches and laterals, the city agrees to enter into agreement with any party desirous of obtaining a connection to the main sewer line. Such agreement will establish a just, equitable and reasonable charge to permit the connection, the charge to be made on a cost per acre basis of the area to be served, using the heretofore agreed main sewer line construction cost and maximum service area acreage to determine the cost per acre. The amount of the connection charge will be paid to the city who agrees to repay the amount to the developer, the total of the repayments not to exceed that portion of the agreed construction cost of the main sewer line allotted to the acreage outside the service area of the developer.
3. In no way is any agreement to be construed as including any branch or lateral sewer within the service area.
