A. Owner Or Developer Responsibility: The owner or developer of any piece of property or tract of land is responsible for the construction of the water main (or for the water main costs) along any property sides or frontages of the property along which a water main is needed for the overall completeness and continuity of the City's water 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 mains within the interior of the tract of land. The owner or developer of any piece of property shall construct all needed water mains (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. City Responsibility; Exception: The owner or developer of any property or subdivision will normally be responsible only for the cost of up to an eight inch (8") diameter water main. The additional cost of providing a water main of a size greater than eight inches (8") will normally be a City responsibility. The City will reimburse the developer for the extra cost of the additional water main size (over the 8 inch diameter size referenced above) as set forth in the annexation or development agreement between the developer and the City. Provided, 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 an eight inch (8") diameter, then the owner or developer of said subdivision or development shall be responsible for the entire cost to whatever size of water main is required for said subdivision or development.
