(A) All cost and expense incident to the installation and connection of the building sewer and lateral shall be borne by the owner. The owner shall indemnify the city from any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly be occasioned by the installation of the building sewer. The owner of premises served by a sewer shall be responsible for the operation, cleaning, maintenance, repair and reconstruction of the building sewer from the building to the point of connection with the public sewer.
(B) Sewer main extensions, when constructed, shall be to the specifications of, and at no cost to the city. Waiver of the above minimum size requirements shall be considered by the City Commission upon request of the developer and recommendation of the City Engineer or his designee.
(C) The developer or owners of benefitted property shall pay 100% of the cost of installation of the required minimum size sewer mains and appurtenances. Sizing required by the wastewater system in excess of the minimums will be at the cost of the wastewater system.
(D) (1) Although the developer and/or owner is responsible for 100% of the cost for the construction of a new sewer main, the party who paid the construction costs may receive a prorated reimbursement for up to a ten year period commencing on the date the city accepts ownership of the sewer main. The reimbursement shall be from the new customer who will be serviced by the sewer main.
(2) The prorated reimbursement of the costs for the sewer main construction shall be based on lineal footage of the property frontage based on the formula defined herein. The total cost of the sewer main construction shall be divided by the lineal frontage to determine the cost per lineal foot. Said cost for per lineal foot shall then be multiplied by the total lineal frontage for the amount of reimbursement.
Example: Total cost of sewer main: $100,000
Total L.F.: 500
$100,000 / 500 = $200 per L.F.
$200 x 75 L.F. (frontage) = $15,000 prorated reimbursement
(3) The city shall not be held in any way responsible for any consumer's amount of prorated reimbursement should the reimbursement not be paid. Failure to pay would be subject to a civil action between the developer seeking reimbursement and the consumer who failed to pay.
(E) Sewer mains will be accepted into the water system, and ownership transferred to the city, after the project is complete, all inspections have been completed and passed, and the final punch-list has been satisfied by the City Engineer or his designee. Upon the city officially accepting the completion of the sewer main project, the maintenance bond will be executed, providing a minimum of a one-year period to ensure there is no construction or other defaults with the sewer main.
