Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3-7 of the Consumers Ohio Water Company Master Tariff P.U.C.O. No. 2, and any provision of the Ohio Administrative Code regarding water main extensions, including, but not limited to, Section 4901:1-15-32, the following shall apply:
(a) The Consumers Ohio Water Company (the Company), if it so desires, may construct a water main which will enable persons situated along such main to obtain water service not otherwise available from the system. The Company shall establish either a per foot frontage charge or a per lot charge to be collected from each applicant for water service having a frontage along said main connecting into said main, which charge shall be computed and collected as follows:
(1) The per foot frontage charge shall be computed by taking the Company's total cost of said main and dividing such cost by the total number of feet of private property fronting said main, but not including any frontage for which water service has been or may become available from an existing main of the system.
(2) Each applicant for water service having frontage along said main, which frontage was taken into consideration in computing the per foot frontage charge, shall pay to the Company, at the time of making application for service, a total front footage charge computed by multiplying the per foot frontage charge by the total foot frontage of the applicant's lot or parcel of land which is to receive water service.
(3) The lot connection charge shall be computed by taking the Company's total cost of said main and dividing such cost by the total number of lots receiving service from the mains, but not including any lots for which water service has been or may become available from an existing main of the system.
The lot method may be used only when at least sixty percent of the owners of frontage along a proposed water main request in writing that the lot method be used.
Each applicant for water service having a lot along said main, which lot was taken into consideration in computing the per lot charge, shall pay to the Company, at the time of making application for service, a connection charge computed by the lot or number of lots which are to receive water service, multiplied by the per lot charge.
(4) Each applicant shall also pay a related facilities fee.
(b) The Company will make no refunds of contributions in aid of construction or for related facilities charges relative to the extension of any main extension constructed after the date of this section (Ordinance 1039-97, passed February 18, 1997), except for advances in excess of actual costs, and except as set forth in subsection (c) hereof.
(c) Where, in the past, the Company has installed main extensions under the provisions of previous contracts with the Village and/or regulations of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio and has accepted certain deposits on such main extensions which are subject to refund under the provisions of said contracts, the Company shall be required to continue to make such refunds for the term of such contracts.
(d) Provisions of the Consumers Ohio Water Company Master Tariff P.U.C.O. No. 2, Section 3-7, and the regulations described therein which are not in conflict with subsections (a) through (c) hereof, shall continue to apply.
