923.01 ROTARY FEE REGULATIONS FOR WATER AND SEWER SERVICE.

   (a)   A connection charge will be required for new connections to a water main or a sewer line that has previously been extended to, along and/or across a property without an assessment against the property having been made or without cost to the owner of the property at the time the extension was completed. The funds realized from connection charges will be deposited in a rotary water main fund or sewer fund. These charges shall be paid at the time of application for service. Connection charges are provided in Section 925.13.

   (b)   Developers or individuals who extend a water main or sewer line (hereinafter referred to as “extender”) are entitled to be reimbursed from the connection charges collected from property owners who connect to the water main or sewer line that they have extended. If the cost of the project is supplemented by the City or County, the developer or individual will be reimbursed only his proportionate share.

   (c)   Reimbursement will cease twelve years after the water main or sewer line has been accepted by the City and placed in service. In order for the line to be accepted by the City and eligible for rotary reimbursement, the line must meet the City’s Specifications for Water and Sewer Construction.

   (d)   At the time of construction, to be eligible for reimbursement of the rotary, the extender must submit a letter or statement to the City which verifies who is entitled to receive the payment. The statement shall include the extender’s name, mailing address, and location of extension. During the twelve years of rotary eligibility, any change that occurs to the information must be submitted to the City in writing.

   (e)   During the twelve-year period, the extender shall be eligible for reimbursement in the amount of ninety percent (90%) of the rotary amount collected. Reimbursement will occur only upon written request from the extender. Any request for reimbursement from the rotary water or sewer fund must include the extender’s name, mailing address, and location of the extension.

   (f)   After expiration of the twelve-year eligibility period, City may transfer remaining rotary funds related to said rotary line for use by the City.

   (g)   The City shall retain ten percent (10%) of the rotary amount collected to cover the City’s cost of maintaining records, construction of new services, and maintenance of existing services.
