Any additional fire protection made necessary by large commercial or industrial developments, or for other reasons, will be extended only after prepayment of the cost of the work as outlined hereafter. In lieu of prepayment of cost, the city will accept facilities constructed by others but require prior approval of the plans and inspection of the construction. All fire lanes on private property, including those serving fire hydrants, shall require approved detector meters and meter vaults. The minimum fire connection construction charges and monthly billing charges covering the city’s cost of investment in larger facilities necessary to provide service shall be as follows.
Description | Minimum Charge |
Hydrant | $600 |
6" Fire service | 400 |
8" Fire service | 500 |
If greater than minimum, the actual charge shall be the estimated cost of work plus a 10% surcharge. | |
