(A) The City Council hereby authorizes the use of all city streets, highways, alleys, public ways and property owned by CW for the construction and maintenance of extensions, additions and improvements to the sewer system portion of the combined and consolidated waterworks and sewer system of CW, without the necessity of further permits, licenses or other certifications from CW.
(B) No unauthorized person shall maliciously, willfully, or negligently break, destroy, uncover, deface, or tamper with any structure, appurtenance, or equipment which is a part of the sewage works. Any person violating this division shall be subject to immediate arrest under the charge of criminal mischief.
(C) Service to unserved areas.
(1) In keeping with the requirements of KRS 76.539, which requires cities to develop and adopt rules to govern the extension of services (water and sewer) to unserved customers and areas outside the city limits or in a rare case within an isolated or difficult area within the city, CW adopts the following scale:
(a) Within 75 feet of an existing line (water and sewer), CW will extend the line at no charge to the customer providing that no special requirements such as a lift station, boring under driveways or roads (city, county, or state), special pipes or any unusual requirements are required. Fees, state or legal, will be paid by the person requesting service. The "no charge" 75 feet is a one-time extension. In other words, further extension will be paid by the person or persons requesting services beyond the original extension.
(b) Any extension further than 75 feet will be borne by by the customer providing that an extension (water and sewer) will benefit CW and the customer.
(c) If an extension is of a length that future customers are added, then the tap-on fees will be refunded to the original customer or developer until the original cost is refunded minus the regular or normal tap-on charges.
(d) Legal costs for rights-of-way will be the responsibility of the person requesting service. Any engineering costs (if required) will be the responsibility of the person requesting service. All extensions will adhere to KAR Title 401, Ch. 5, Sec. 2a (Form S-l 1 and Section 3). KRS 401-8.010.81600 and KRS Chapter 224.73 may also apply.
(2) There are fees attached to various regulations that will also be the responsibility of the person or persons requesting service.
