Extension of the water supply system shall be accomplished by private contractor, with the approval of the city council, by special improvement districts, or by any other special agreements entered into with the city which will guarantee payment for the work to be done. Prior to the creation of any special improvement district or entering into any private contract or special agreements, application shall have been made for extension of the water supply system and approved, and any appropriate fees shall have been paid. (Ord. 354, 2-21-1984; amd. Ord. 588, 1-19-2021)
An applicant constructing an extension of the water supply system within the corporate city limits by means of a private contract or special improvement district shall be deemed to have conveyed the ownership of such extension to the city upon acceptance of the extension by the city. At that time the city shall have assumed complete control over the facilities so extended, including the right to connect additional customers to the extended water system facilities as well as the right to further extend such facilities to other property within the service area.
From the date of acceptance onward the city shall be responsible for the maintenance of extensions to the water supply system. Any water supply system facilities owned by persons other than the city, whether such facilities are located within or without the corporate city limits, shall be maintained by said persons having ownership and control over said facilities. (Ord. 354, 2-21-1984; amd. Ord. 588, 1-19-2021)
Fire hydrants, valves and other appurtenances shall be designed and installed as a necessary and basic part of an extension to the water supply system. The cost of the same shall be borne by the applicant requesting extension of the water supply system. The ownership and maintenance responsibilities for such type facilities shall be vested in the persons having ownership and control of the water extension in question. (Ord. 354, 2-21-1984; amd. Ord. 588, 1-19-2021)
An applicant requesting an extension of the water supply system shall at the applicant's expense be responsible for securing all rights of way, licenses and permits that may be required in order to construct, operate, maintain, repair and replace the water system facilities to be extended by the applicant. (Ord. 354, 2-21-1984; amd. Ord. 588, 1-19-2021)
Whenever public streets and extensions to the water supply system are proposed to be constructed in stages to serve a new subdivision or other type development, the water mains, fire hydrants and other water supply system facilities shall be extended and installed beyond the proposed paving limits of the public street in question so as to preclude unnecessary excavations in said paved public streets when a future extension of the water supply system located in the public street is to be constructed. The cost of designing and installing said stubbed out water supply system facilities shall be borne by the applicant initiating the water extension involved, and said facilities shall be made a part of and constructed with the water extension project in question. (Ord. 354, 2-21-1984; amd. Ord. 588, 1-19-2021)
Persons opening up, digging into, excavating or tunneling in any public right of way or utility easement for the purpose of constructing extensions or making connections with the water supply system, whether the same be located within or without the corporate city limits, shall, prior to performing such work, obtain in writing at their expense all necessary approvals, permits, licenses, surety bonds, and/or public liability insurance certificates that may be required by the agency or person having jurisdiction and control over such public rights of way and utility easements. In any case, streets, sidewalks, parkways, alleys and other public property disturbed in the course of the work by a person contracting to construct an extension to the water supply system, or a connection therewith, shall be restored at said person's expense in a manner satisfactory to the public authority having jurisdiction and control over such public property. Any privately owned property which may be disturbed and/or damaged by a person contracting to construct an extension to the water supply system or a connection therewith, shall be restored at said person's expense to a condition equal to or better than the condition existing prior to such construction.
