(a) It is the City's responsibility to plan, finance, design and construct all designated regional facilities. The City will only construct such facilities, or portions thereof, when the Board of Trustees has made a determination that such construction is economically feasible. Such determination may require the owner/ developer to prepay or guarantee future payment of System Development Fees, or other special arrangements as the City may determine necessary.
(b) It is the owner/developer's responsibility to finance, design and construct all local facilities. Such facilities shall be constructed in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the City Engineer, and in accordance with minimum standards adopted by the City. The owner/developer shall pay the actual cost of all such facilities.
(c) It is the responsibility of the customer or his or her builder to pay the actual cost and construct all customer service lines. Such service facilities shall be constructed in accordance with standards approved by the City, and shall be inspected by the City prior to use.
(d) After construction, the City will be responsible for the maintenance, operation and replacement of all regional and local facilities (except as provided during the warranty period). The individual customers shall be responsible for the maintenance and replacement of all customer facilities, with the exception of water meters and that part of each service line owned by the City, which shall become the property and responsibility of the City. The City shall not be liable or responsible for inadequate water delivery, sewage treatment or interruption of any services brought about by circumstances beyond its control.
