The developer shall pay one hundred percent of the cost of all on-site regular-size water lines needed to serve his development, except that the city shall pay one hundred percent of the cost of any oversized water lines needed, as determined by the city engineer, to serve areas other than the particular subdivision reduced by the cost of the regular-size water lines of the same configuration, as computed from contract prices of the low bidder on construction of the water facilities within the development.
(b)
The developer shall pay one hundred percent of the cost of all off-site (approach) regular-size water mains needed to serve his development, except that the city shall pay one hundred percent of the cost of any oversized water mains needed, as determined by the city engineer, to serve areas other than the particular subdivision reduced by the cost of the regular-size water mains of the same configuration, as computed from contract prices of the low bidder on construction of the water facilities needed to serve the development.
(c)
The city engineer shall determine the sizes of water mains and water lines to be constructed within the development and also the size of off-site (approach) water mains to a development in accordance with standard design criteria and/or the city master plan for water mains. However, if the developer’s engineer submits alternate main sizing, substantiated by an engineering analysis acceptable to the city engineer, such alternate main sizing may be approved for use in lieu of the sizing indicated by either the master plan or the usual design criteria.
