If an applicant plans to develop property that will
require the extension of water system infrastructure, the Town may
require the applicant to sign a public works agreement in order to
ensure easements are properly recorded and dedicated, to allow review
of infrastructure construction plans by Town staff, and for review
of facilities capacity and any other necessary requirements the Town
shall require the applicant to comply with.
In a case where multiple developers propose to utilize
the existing water system infrastructure, the costs associated with
necessary improvements for each developer shall be based on the percentage
of flow that each development will contribute to the infrastructure.
The associated costs for each developer must be specified in the public
works agreement.
In a case where multiple developers propose to utilize
future infrastructure of a proposed water system extension at different
times, the cost of associated improvements shall be borne by the developer
to be served first.
Future users will be required to pay the Town for
the proportionate share of the infrastructure based on either the
percentage of flow that each new user contributes to the infrastructure
or the required length to reach each user, whichever is the most representative
of realistic extension conditions. The Town will, in turn, reimburse
the initial developer for the new user's proportionate share.
The associated cost for the initial developer and
the subsequent proportionate share owed by future users must be specified
in a signed public works agreement.
Bulk users of infrastructure that connect more than
10 years after the date the initial developer signed an applicable
public works agreement for the subject infrastructure with the Town
will not be required to reimburse said developer for costs discussed
in said public works agreement.
