(A) All water main extensions in the municipality shall be paid for by the applicants or developer requesting such extension. Where a water main extension is required by the municipality to be installed larger than 12 inches in nominal diameter, the municipality shall pay 110% of the difference in the cost of the pipe, fittings and valves between the installation of a 12-inch main and the water main installed, under the terms of a water line agreement, as funds are made available.
(B) The Municipal Engineer shall determine from the records, or other sources, the cost of the pipe, fittings and valves and this determination shall be final.
(C) The Municipal Engineer may authorize water main extensions to be installed by a qualified developer.
(D) The size of all water mains shall be determined by the Municipal Engineer and shall be large enough not only to serve the areas under immediate consideration but also to serve areas which are likely to be developed and which should be served by the water main under consideration.
(E) All extensions of water mains shall include the installation of all taps, valves and fire hydrants. The number and location of fire hydrants shall be in accordance with the requirements of the municipality. The number and location of all taps and valves shall be as required by the Municipal Engineer.
(F) All water mains and appurtenances shall be owned by the municipality with title to be vested in the municipality upon completion of the water main.
(G) No water mains shall be installed except by the municipality unless authorized by an agreement between the municipality and the developer or applicants. Where water mains in excess of 12 inches nominal diameter are installed by a developer or applicants and abut on parcels on the opposite side of the street to which the agreement refers not owned by the developer or applicants and the parcels are not included in the proposed agreement, the developer or applicants may be entitled to reimbursement when such parcels are connected to the water mains within ten years or within such time period as agreed to by Council after the execution of the waterline agreement from the funds collected by the municipality from owners of such abutting parcels on the opposite side of the street as a front foot charge provided in § 52.05. The amount of the reimbursement shall be determined by the available frontage not owned by the developer or applicants and in no case shall the developer or applicants receive reimbursement exceeding the amount specified in the agreement.
(H) If the land to which any waterline agreement refers is sold by the person or firm with whom the municipality has an agreement and the agreement does not "follow with the land", such agreement with the municipality shall be immediately null and void.
(I) If a corporate entity with which the municipality has a waterline agreement is dissolved, the agreement with the municipality shall be immediately null and void.
(J) No agreements shall be drawn that call for reimbursement from normal water tap fees.
(K) To be eligible for this reimbursement the developer or applicants must file with the municipality within 90 days after the completion of water main or such further time as may be authorized by the municipality in accordance with the standards and specifications, receipts for all labor and material used in connection with the construction of the water main, together with final, as built plans, properly referenced for future location of the work.
