(A) HRW currently extends service by three methods:
(1) Capital projects using loans and grants to fund;
(2) Private development within public rights-of-way or dedicated rights-of-way funded by private funds; and
(3) Co-operative projects between HRW and private sector for commercial and industrial development. The amount of HRW funds contributed to a co-operative project is guaranteed to be repaid to HRW by the developer in net tax proceeds from the improved property within the first five years. If the net tax proceeds received within the five year period fail to equal HRW's fiscal contribution to the project, the developer shall pay the difference to HRW.
(B) (1) HRW proposes to designate, from the Harnett Regional Water Fund, certain restricted annual appropriations for the development of water and sewer line extensions within Harnett County. All requests for extensions shall be rated on the following point system:
Public health severity | 40 points |
Cost feasibility based upon return of investment | 40 points |
Contributed capital by individual or business | 20 points |
Points maximum | 100 points |
(2) The responsibility for rating each request will be with the Director of Harnett Regional Water or the designee of the Director. A minimum score of 50 points is required in order for the Harnett County Board of Commissioners to consider the request.
