WATER LINE EXTENSIONS
§ 52.040 WATER MAIN EXTENSION COSTS.
   If any person, firm or corporation is required by the city to pay the cost of extending a water main line adjacent to property other than his or her own property so that water service is provided for such other property without further extension of the main line, the city shall require, prior to providing water service, that the persons requesting connection to the line refund to the person, firm or corporation required to pay the cost of construction to extend said water main line a pro rata portion of the cost of said construction. The right to require such refund shall not continue for more than ten years after the date of installation of the extension of the water line. For purposes of this section, the term COST OF CONSTRUCTION shall mean the actual cost of construction in addition to annual interest at the statutory rate established by state statutes which interest shall accrue from the date said water line is accepted by the city until the reimbursement is fully paid or the right to reimbursement terminated under the provisions of this section. The amount to be refunded shall be determined by the city and such determination shall be final. The city shall compute the pro rata portion to be refunded upon a front-foot basis of properties connected to the line including the property of the person, firm or corporation required to extend said line with the total reimbursable cost spread equally over the total front footage of the properties served. In such cases where the determination of reimbursable costs upon a front foot basis is inequitable or inappropriate by reason of size, location or condition of properties involved, the city may fix and determine the basis of reimbursement other than on a front-foot basis.
(Prior Code, § 3.10.010) (Ord. 179, passed 10-2-1989; Ord. 202, passed 1-6-1992)
§ 52.041 REIMBURSEMENT METHODS.
   The person, firm or corporation required to make such extension of water line shall submit a map locating the extended line and the city shall determine the properties benefitted by the extension by designating the same on the map submitted. The cost to be reimbursed to the person, firm or corporation extending said line shall be limited to the actual cost of construction, in addition to the cost of permits, engineering and legal expenses. In no event shall the items of expense for permits, engineering and legal exceed 25% of the actual cost of construction. The city shall add to the items of cost an amount equal to 5% of the total cost of construction including permits, engineering and legal expenses, which percentage shall be computed annually on the anniversary date of the agreement on the then unreimbursed balance of the cost of construction, which percentage shall be an appropriate return on investment to the person, firm or corporation making said extension. The city shall retain an amount equal to 10% of the total reimbursable cost for the cost of administration of the agreement by the city, which 10% shall be deducted from pro rata payments by applicants for service as such pro rata payments are made.
