A. Responsibility For Construction And Costs:
1. The owner or developer of any piece of property or tract of land is responsible for the construction of the water line (or for the water line costs) along any of the property sides or frontages of the property along which a water line is needed for the overall completeness and continuity of the city water main system. If it is a large tract of land, the owner or developer shall also be responsible for the necessary and required system of water lines within the interior of the tract of land.
2. The owner or developer of any piece of property shall construct all needed water lines (of the approved size) within and along all sides or frontages of any piece of property prior to the time any building constructed thereon is occupied or utilized, unless "phased" construction of the water main system is specifically allowed or provided for in the annexation or development agreement.
B. Large Size Water Lines: The owner or developer of any property or subdivision will be responsible for the cost of a six inch (6") diameter water line. Provided further, however, that if any proposed subdivision or development is of such size or magnitude that it requires or necessitates a water main size larger than a six inch (6") diameter line, or if the type of development is such as to produce a water flow in excess of the capacity of a six inch (6") diameter water line, then the owner or developer of said subdivision or development shall be responsible for the entire cost of whatever size of water line is needed to accommodate his development.
C. Conditions For Extension Of Service Outside City Limits: The city will consider the extension of water service outside of the corporate limits of the city only under the following conditions:
1. The property must be contiguous or parallel to the corporate limits of the city.
2. Landowner agrees to sign an "agreement for connection to the city water system for property owners outside of the corporate limits of the city of Hagerman", providing for annexation of the property being served at the option of the city.
3. Landowner agrees, at their own expense, to extend any water lines to the property in question.
4. Landowner agrees to pay, prior to the extension of such services, any and all hookup, capitalization, main extension or any other appropriate fees that may be required by the city in place at the time of such extension.
5. Landowner agrees to pay for the monthly usage of such service at rates set by resolution. (Ord. 984, 7-5-1995)
