17.60.070: Pumping Stations Are Property Of POTW
Whenever any user makes application for any permits, approvals, subdivision, zoning or any other actions relating to property situated in areas either within or outside of the POTW which, when connected to the POTW's sewer collection or disposal system, will require the sewage to be pumped into the POTW system, the user thereof shall be required to pay the POTW all of the costs of the installation and maintenance of the required pumping station in the manner and in the amounts hereinafter provided in this chapter. (Ord. 36-93 § 9, 1993: prior code § 37-8-1)
Notwithstanding the provisions of any other ordinance or regulation of the POTW now or hereafter enacted, the officers and personnel of the POTW dealing with the applications referred to in section 17.60.010 of this chapter, or its successor, are directed and authorized to withhold granting of the requested applications pending payment or entry by the applicant into an agreement whereby payments will be made to the POTW in reimbursement for the costs of such pumping stations. The officers and employees of the POTW are directed and authorized to refuse to furnish sewer services to the users until the agreements are fully consummated and there has been reimbursement and payment for all services and fees due and owing thereunder. (Ord. 36-93 § 9, 1993: prior code § 37-8-2)
A. The POTW is authorized to cause surveys or engineering studies to be made for the purpose of determining those areas either within or without the POTW which would require the installation and operation of pumping stations. The pumping station areas may include areas outside of the POTW limits which might, by annexation, become a part of the POTW or which might require sewer services from the POTW for the purpose of preserving the health and welfare of residents adjacent to said areas.
B. Based upon such studies, the POTW shall establish the pumping station areas and designate their confines in such manner as to enable landowners or users to determine whether or not they fall within the areas requiring sewage pumping stations. (Ord. 36-93 § 9, 1993: prior code § 37-8-3)
A. The POTW may cause a pumping station to be installed in a designated pumping station area in anticipation of the development of buildings or other uses within the near future, or it may cause such construction to occur upon receipt of applications from landowners or users who anticipate developments within the designated area or a portion thereof which will require the construction of a sewage pumping station.
B. The construction of the pumping stations shall be of such size as the POTW may determine will be necessary to provide pumping to the entire area, even though pending applications before it involve only a portion of the pumping station area. All pump stations shall be planned, designed and constructed in accordance with applicable state laws. (Ord. 36-93 § 9, 1993: prior code § 37-8-4)
A. The costs of construction for pumping stations shall include costs of land acquisition, easements, legal services, direct labor and materials, costs of direct supervision and engineering services, plus an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of all of the foregoing costs for administrative services by the POTW.
B. The costs of construction shall be allocated among the landowners and/or users of the sewage pumping service area in the same proportion that the total of each landowner's area bears to the total area of land situated within the pumping service area.
C. The foregoing method of allocation of costs may be varied by action of the POTW when, in its judgment, it finds that unusual topography or other physical circumstances or the contemplated use or uses require a different method of allocating costs. If the pumping station is constructed prior to the filing of an application by a landowner or user, the costs of construction will be the actual costs expended as above described.
D. If the pumping station has been constructed at the time the application is filed, then costs shall be the costs estimated by the director or which may be computed based upon contracts let to contractors or subcontractors to perform the construction. The estimated costs shall be used as the basis for establishing the amount of any payments required in advance until such time as construction is completed and actual costs are determined, at which time the costs shall be recomputed and allocated based upon the actual costs.
E. Costs of operation and maintenance, as determined by the director, may be allocated among the users of the sewage pumping service area. (Ord. 36-93 § 9, 1993: prior code § 37-8-5)
