359, 3-23-2012; Ord. No. 363, 5-15-2012]
A.
City of Kimberling City warrants that all property owners within
the City limits of Kimberling City shall, subject to the provisions
of this Section and other applicable ordinances of the City, be entitled
to have access to the City Sanitary Sewer, provided the customer,
applicant or property owner shall pay the actual cost of extension
of any sewer main to the property being served, if necessary, and
the actual cost of the grinder pump and associated electrical components
as well as the connection into the sewer system.
B.
Before the extension of any sewer main in the City of Kimberling
City shall be made by any person, corporation, partnership or other
entity, other than a City employee, application for such extension
shall be made to the City Clerk.
C.
When extending a sewer line to a single user where there is an existing
main of adequate size in a street or roadway adjacent to the property
or where an extension is necessary to serve a single user, the following
rules and policies shall apply:
1.
Upon proper written application, the City's Director of Public
Works will make an estimate of the cost of the proposed extension,
which shall include all labor, consulting engineering costs, materials,
equipment rentals required, including fittings, values, value boxes,
right-of-way costs, if any, and reconstruction of existing sewer mains
to which the proposed extension will be connected and shall include
an additional ten percent (10%) for use of small tools, appliances,
transportation, storeroom and incidental expense.
2.
The estimate in Subsection (C)(1) shall be for extending from the existing main to a point directly to the location of connection, whether being for a grinder pump or gravity connection for said property. If the existing main is not on the same side of the street as the connection location for such property, the estimated cost shall include the cost of boring under or digging through the street to install the service connection line.
3.
The applicant shall pay to the City an amount equal to the estimated
cost. Construction shall not commence until such sum has been paid.
The sum so advanced by the applicant shall be adjusted to the actual
cost of the work and as soon as the work is completed, the excess
of the payment, if any, shall be returned to the applicant or, if
actual costs exceed the estimate, the applicant will be required to
pay the additional sum to the City. The additional sum and all costs
of extension shall be paid before service is commenced.
D.
When extending sewer mains into a territory or area which is unoccupied and not developed or where there are no sewer mains in the streets, roadways or rights-of-way (excluding subdivisions which fall within subdivision regulations) and the City's Director of Public Works finds that additional connections will most likely be made between the existing main and the end of the extension, the rules and policies set forth in Subsection (C) and this Subsection (D) shall apply.
1.
Future applicants to connect to said extended line shall pay
a fee to the City based upon a formula representing a reasonable pro
rata charge based upon other available and prospective users of the
extended line.
2.
All sums of money collected by the City as provided by Subsection (D)(1) shall be credited to a fund designated as the "Sewer Pro Rata Fund." Money credited to the Sewer Pro Rata Fund may, at the direction of the Board of Aldermen, be used to pay all or part of the cost of the extension to the original applicant paying for such extension. All refunds hereinafter provided shall be paid from the Sewer Pro Rata Fund.
3.
Through the completion of any extension as provided in this Subsection (D) and after the original applicant has commenced receiving service; all additional connections to applicant's sewer main extension shall be made to pay the pro rata charge as originally established to ensure payment of a refund to the original applicant not to exceed the applicant's cost of said extension. Funds remaining after the original applicant has been paid, as herein provided, shall become the property of the City.
E.
For any extension under either Subsection (C) or (D) the following general rules and policies shall apply:
1.
The deposits or payment of cost made by applicants as provided
hereunder do not relieve any applicant from the payment of the regular
service connection or tap fee as may be provided by any other ordinance
in effect at the time the application is made.
2.
The City reserves the right to further extend the main and to make connecting mains on intersecting streets or easements, and such further extensions or connections shall not entitle the original applicant to any refund by reason thereof or when other customers attach thereto as provided in Subsection (D)(3).
3.
No interest shall be paid on any deposit made under the provisions
of this Section.
4.
Minimum pipe size for gravity sewer mains shall be eight (8)
inches in diameter and a minimum of two (2) inches in diameter for
pressure mains. Service connections shall be sized based on the current
building codes as set forth in other ordinances. Should the City desire
to install a smaller or larger pipe connection, a cost adjustment
shall be established and a refund, if applicable, provided to the
applicant.
5.
An applicant shall, when requested by the City, furnish a complete
plan of the proposed development, tract or lot to be served, including
the location of the requested extension and a profile of the grades
on roads/streets of approved easements. In the case of new developments,
the City may require the developer to bring the grades of the proposed
streets reasonably close to the final grade to be established before
construction of the sewer main extension is commenced.
6.
The location of all extensions shall be in established streets,
alleys or approved easements with the actual location of the extension
under the control of the City. Rights-of-way or easements shall be
provided without cost to the City or, if payment is required, it shall
be included in the cost of the extension. Rights-of-way or easements
shall be granted in favor of the City.
7.
Extensions made under the policy established by this Section
shall be and remain the property of the City in consideration of its
perpetual upkeep and maintenance.
8.
Responsibility of advising the City of the proper recipient
of the refunds provided herein shall rest with the applicant.
9.
The City may, at its election, perform work provided hereunder
or may allow such to be performed under contract. If the City performs
the work, a complete list of all materials used, their cost and all
labor cost shall be furnished to the applicant.
10.
The City reserves the right to refuse the extension of any main
if, in the judgment of the Board of Aldermen, the cost or investment
would be prohibitive or the extension of the main as requested is
determined to be detrimental to the City sewer system, or the present
water customers.
F.
Whenever, in the judgment of the Board of Aldermen of the City of
Kimberling City, Missouri, it is found and determined to be in the
best interest of the sewer system of the City of Kimberling City,
Missouri, for the City to make a sewer main extension at the cost
of the City and not under the policies herein provided by this Section,
or where said Board determines that to follow the provisions of this
Section would be an unreasonable burden on the property owners because
of the length of the extension involved, said Board may waive the
provisions of this Section and proceed in such other manner as the
Board determines.

in accordance with the latest edition of "Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water and Wastewater" published by the American Public
Health Association and shall be determined at the control manhole
provided or upon suitable samples taken at said control manhole. In
the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole
shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public
sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected. Sampling
shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the
effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the
existence of hazards to life, limb and property. (The particular analyses
involved will determine whether a twenty-four-hour composite of all
outfalls of a premise is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples
should be taken. Normally, but not always, BOD and suspended solids
analyses are obtained from twenty-four-hour composites of all outfalls
whereas pHs are determined from periodic grab samples.)
K.
No statement contained in this Section shall be construed as preventing
any special agreement or arrangement between the City of Kimberling
City and/or any industrial concern whereby an industrial waste of
unusual strength or character may be accepted by the City of Kimberling
