(A) Each person making application for a service connection shall present a valid plumbing permit issued by the Town Building Official, or his authorized representative, to the Utility Department as a prerequisite for the approval of the requested service connection.
(B) The applicant shall state the following in his/her application: his/her name; a description of the lot, block and addition; the desired location where the town main is to be tapped; the desired size of the tap to be made; the official house number assigned to the premises as shown by the records in the office of the Planning Department; and the purpose for which the water is to be used.
(C) The Department, as a condition to granting such application and furnishing water to such premises, is authorized to and shall require payment for the installation of service connections and/or meters.
(D) Smaller meters. For each request for a residential or non-residential one inch or smaller water meter connection that is not located within a subdivision subject to § 52.405(C), if the projected water use is less than one-half acre-foot per year the town will provide a water service connection pursuant to this division, but only if the requirements of § 52.108 are satisfied and if the town determines in its sole discretion that such water is available in the town water supply. Non-residential parcels may be authorized to have two meters, one for interior use and one for exterior landscaping at the town's sole discretion, but only if the projected water use through both meters is less than one-half acre-foot per year.
(E) Multifamily. Notwithstanding § 52.204(D), for a parcel that is not in a subdivision subject to § 52.405(C) that includes more than one dwelling unit, if each dwelling unit has a separate water service meter and separate service line, and if the projected water use for each separately-metered dwelling unit is equal to or less than one-third acre-foot per year, the town will provide water service connections to each dwelling unit through a separate one inch or smaller meter if the requirements of § 52.108 are satisfied and if the town determines in its sole discretion that water is available in the town water supply.
(F) Larger meters or larger water consumption. For each request for a non-subdivision residential or nonresidential water meter (i) that is one inch or greater or (ii) where the projected water use equals or exceeds one-half acre-foot per year, the applicant must demonstrate that the applicant has secured 100 years of water supply, consistent with the rules applied to subdivisions in A.R.S. §§ 45-576 et seq., that is of adequate quality and is physically, legally, and continuously available for the projected water uses for such connection. The water supply required by this division must not rely upon town water supplies and must be dedicated and delivered to the town. The applicant must construct all water treatment and delivery infrastructure capacity identified in a Water Master Plan prepared by the applicant and approved by the town. The Town Council may waive the requirements of this division for commercial or industrial uses within the town if the Town Council determines that a commitment of a portion of the town water supply to the proposed commercial or industrial use will (i) not unfairly and adversely impact existing town water customers and (ii) provide town residents with benefits that significantly outweigh the costs of allocating town water supplies for the proposed commercial or industrial use.
(G) The town at its sole discretion may authorize a meter size greater that one inch and not require the applicant to provide the town new water solely to provide emergency fire flow.
(H) For mixed use projects that include property subject to the Town Subdivision Ordinance, compliance with such development agreement will satisfy the requirements of Section 2.3.E.3 of the Town Subdivision Ordinance.
