A. The costs of construction for mains, exclusive of service lines, shall be kept on record with the city clerk. A record shall be kept in the water department showing mains, services and the length and size of mains or pipes, together with supporting data and date of completion. The city shall own all mains of any extension and will maintain them.
B. Applicants for extension of main service shall pay the cost of such extension which shall be determined by the distance from the starting point (the main from which the extension is made) to the point of tap off for the applicant's service pipe. Provided however, in the event an area in the city which has not theretofore been served by main line service, has developed, the city council, in its discretion may, upon petition of a majority of the owners in the developed area to be served, and upon finding that funds are available, authorize the extension of main service to such area and such construction costs shall be paid by the city.
C. No consumer who made an original contribution will receive more total refund than their original contribution. After ten (10) years from the date of the original extension no refund will be made to any consumer who made a contribution. A consumer who made a contribution and failed to be a continuous consumer within the ten (10) year period forfeits all right to refund. If, within ten (10) years from the date of the original extension the city finds it necessary or desirable to make an extension or connection known as a loop feed, no refunds will be made after such improvement is made.
