[Adopted 3-10-1998 ATM by Art. 17; amended by Town Council 12-3-2009; 1-26-2012; 1-11-2018]
It shall be the policy of the Town of Merrimack that in regard to any and all street projects or sewer line projects that require the relocation of waterlines, the cost of said relocation above $15,000 shall be considered to be a project cost. The Merrimack Village District shall reimburse to the Town all waterline relocation costs up to $15,000 on Town projects.
This policy shall be applicable to the following types of projects:
A. 
Those projects related to the Town's capital improvement program; or
B. 
Any project of the Town of Merrimack that is not included in the capital improvement program but which requires waterline relocation; the Merrimack Village District shall reimburse to the Town up to $7,500 per project for costs incurred in the relocation of the waterlines.
It shall further be the policy of the Town of Merrimack that the Merrimack Village District shall be responsible for paying any additional costs incurred by the Town of Merrimack as the result of extending, upgrading or enhancing their systems during any project that requires the relocation of waterlines.
Furthermore, it shall be the policy of the Town of Merrimack that waterline relocations will become part of any overall street project or sewer line project, and shall be conducted at the direction of the Town of Merrimack. Nothing herein shall preclude the Merrimack Village Commissioners from assuming responsibility for relocating waterlines at the Village District's own expense.
Finally, it shall be the policy of the Town of Merrimack that the Public Works Department of the Town of Merrimack and the Merrimack Village District shall arrive at mutually agreeable procedures for coordinating the relocation of waterlines to ensure that the interests of each are protected prior to the bidding of any project.
Nothing in this chapter prevents the Merrimack Village District from bidding on the waterline portion of any street project or sewer line project being completed by the Town of Merrimack.
