Whereas the Township of East Allen is, from time to time,
requested to reserve water allocations for various developments prior to the
developments actually being completed and/or needing the water; and by said
reservation the Township is reserving a portion of its water allocations for
this developer; and whereas the Township is required, through the East Allen
Municipal Authority, to take various actions concerning these allocation reservations;
and whereas, it is the purpose of this article to authorize and establish
a procedure for the collection of fees for this water allocation reservation
on a “per lot” basis.
Now, therefore, a reasonable fee in an amount per lot
as set from time to time by resolution of the Board of Supervisors shall be
charged for the reservation of water rights on a yearly basis. In addition,
from time to time, it may be necessary for the Township to adjust this fee.
Said fee can be reestablished at the commencement of each fiscal year by resolution
setting the new fee.
This fee shall be assessed and collected by the East Allen Township
Municipal Authority.
Upon receipt of the water allocation reservation fee, the funds shall
be deposited in the East Allen Township Municipal Authority General Fund.
