A developer or owner may request reimbursement for a portion of the cost associated with the installation of a water facility, typically a pipeline. Any reimbursement shall be by agreement and pursuant to the requirements outlined in this article.
The City may require, or a developer may elect to construct, an off-site water main which may, in the opinion of the Public Works Director, qualify for reimbursement subject to payback through a reimbursement agreement. Where a water main must be extended to serve a property, the main extension normally shall be constructed by the property owner requesting service. That portion of the project costs, as approved by the Public Works Director, which benefits other properties may be subject to payback through a reimbursement agreement. To qualify, there must be (1) benefiting properties which have agreed to participate or that can be required to participate through normal City procedures, and (2) improvements which provide a substantial benefit to those properties.
