(Water main extension and storage increases)
(A) All applicants for service shall be required to file an application and make the following payments:
1. Service hookup as set by District resolution.
2. Storage facility charge.
(B) Service hookup charges are payable in advance and shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.
(C) A "storage facility charge" shall be determined by the Board of Directors from time to time and set forth by resolution. It shall be based on the number and size of actual and/or potential service connections and shall be payable upon application for service (or upon construction and prior to acceptance of "in- tract" water system in the case of developers). Such rate shall be computed so as, in the sole discretion of the Board, to equalize the cost of providing storage facilities with necessary appurtenances, throughout the District.
The "storage facility charge" payable by developers shall be determined by applying the rate for a three-fourths inch (3/4") service connection to each lot in a tract. If a tract lot owner subsequently applies for a service connection larger than three-fourths inch (3/4"), the difference between the "storage facility charge" for the service connection ordered and the "storage facility charge" for a three-fourths inch (3/4") service connection shall be payable upon application for service.
(D) All subdividers, developers or property owners (applicants for service) are required to have main extensions established at their own expense. No one may run a private line through or by intervening properties that should be served by a public main. All intervening applicants within the area whose developments will use said extension will be required to pay their share of this expense on a prorated basis before they connect with the system and such moneys are to be returned to the party or their heirs that originally bore the cost of the line. This is to be accomplished by an agreement between the Board of Directors and the applicant. For mains extended as per the foregoing, the District will pay for sizing, in excess of the subdivider, developers or property owners' needs, and for hydrants, valves, stubouts, etc., which are necessary appurtenances to the entire system, but not of immediate necessity to the applicant. It is the policy of the District to require applicants for service to construct main extensions under District supervision and specifications.
(E) All "in-tract" facilities, including easements and tank sites, must be dedicated to the District prior to acceptance of a development for service. The cost of such "in-tract" facilities shall be borne by the developer. All such facilities must meet District's standards and specifications. The term "in-tract" as used herein shall refer to the following facilities installed within the boundaries of a subdivided tract: All distribution mains, including connections to existing mains, even if outside the tract, necessary service stubs, or service pipelines, fire hydrants, fittings, valves and housing thereof, exclusive of individual service connections and meters.
If additional facilities of a permanent nature are required to provide pressure or storage exclusively for the service requested, such facilities will be included.
(F) Schools, whether private or public, and nonprofit or charitable institutions shall be considered as commercial applicants for the purpose of this Section.
