If the meter is returned in satisfactory condition to the city at the end of the construction project, the entire deposit amount shall be refunded.
1. All water used will be charged at the monthly rate as set forth under division A. above: Water fees, Commercial.
2. No sewer or sanitation charge will be assessed during the construction period. These charges shall occur at the time a certificate of occupancy is issued. At that time, a meter will be installed and regular billing will begin.
D. Water connection charges. All connection to the city's water system requiring to use of a three-quarter-inch meter or less shall pay a connection fee of $475. The use of any larger size water meter needed to serve the facility, shall be based on a charge of $475 per water times the corresponding "Equivalency Factor" as indicated below:
1. The "Equivalency Factor" is determined by the maximum gallons per minute (GPM) of flow through the water meter. The base for this factor is the three-quarter-inch meter most commonly used for a single residential unit having a flow rate of 30 GPM and a factor of one.
Connection Meter Size | Flow Rate | Equivalency Factor | Connection Fee |
3/4 in. | 30 GPM | 1.00 | $475 |
1 in. | 50 GPM | 1.67 | $793 |
1-1/2 in. | 100 GPM | 3.33 | $1,582 |
2 in. | 160 GPM | 5.33 | $2,532 |
2. If a meter approved by the City Engineer is installed that differs from the flow rates stated, the equivalency factor will be used to determine the connection fee for that meter. This provision will apply to impact fees also.
3. Expenses associated with connection resulting from factors beyond the city's control shall be absorbed by the person requesting the connection. This provision will apply to connection charges under § 12-5-12B. also.
