The purpose of this division is to set forth the manner of requirements
and standards for the extension and installation of water lines by
the city.
(2000 Code, sec. 11.901)
The term “extension,” as used in this division,
shall be construed to mean the length of water line from the end of
the existing water line to a point five feet (5') past the nearest
property line on the lot or tract to be served.
(2000 Code, sec. 11.902)
All property located within the corporate limits of the city
shall be subject to the terms, conditions and charges of this division.
(2000 Code, sec. 11.903)
The purpose and intent of this division is to provide an equitable
charge for water line extensions. No person shall acquire any vested
right under the terms and provisions of this division.
(2000 Code, sec. 11.904)
The city may extend water lines in the streets and alleys or
easements within the corporate limits of the city in order to permit
connections with persons desiring and seeking water service.
(2000 Code, sec. 11.905)
In no event will the city be required to make extensions which
are not deemed feasible or desirable by the city council or when there
are no funds and/or materials available for that purpose.
(2000 Code, sec. 11.906)
The owner or owners of land or lots adjacent to the city and lying outside the city limits, and not being in another incorporated town or village, desiring water services may have such facilities, provided all cost of the extension necessary to serve the particular property, such costs to include both materials and labor, is borne by the parties desiring such service; and further provided that said parties or parties pay to the city a connection fee as provided for in the fee schedule found in appendix A of this code per tap; and further provided that a subsequent connection fee as provided for in the fee schedule found in appendix A of this code per tap, for each user outside the city limits that is connected, is paid to the city. No refunds will be made at any time for water lines constructed or connected to serve property outside the city limits. No extension shall be made outside the city limits except by approval of the city council.
(2000 Code, sec. 11.907)
Extensions will be made when the party making the request pays the charges provided for in sections 13.04.057 and/or 13.04.059, depending on whether the property to be served lies inside or outside the city limits.
(2000 Code, sec. 11.908)
(a)
For extensions inside the city limits of less than one hundred feet
(100'), the city will furnish all costs, including materials and labor.
(b)
For extensions inside the city limits of more than one hundred feet
(100'), the city will furnish all costs for the first one hundred
feet (100'), including materials and labor, and the party desiring
such service shall furnish all additional costs, including materials
and labor.
(c)
In addition to any other charges or costs provided for in this section, any party desiring an extension of water lines to property located within the city limits shall pay the standard application fee as provided for in the fee schedule found in appendix A of this code. This application fee is subject to review and revision from time to time by the city council.
(2000 Code, sec. 11.909)
The service pipe from the meter, and all facilities connected
thereto, is the property of the owner of the premises and must be
kept in good repair. All the remaining service facilities are the
property of the city.
(2000 Code, sec. 11.910)
The city retains the right to designate the make and type of
material to be installed in any extension of the water lines.
(2000 Code, sec. 11.911)
The city retains the right to add additional meters and additional
users to any service lines which the city owns, notwithstanding that
some party or parties may have borne some or all of the expense of
installation of the service line which the city now desires to attach
to.
(2000 Code, sec. 11.912)
(a)
No deposits made under section 13.04.057 or 13.04.059(c) shall be refunded, but any additional amount deposited with the city for payment of the applicant’s portion of material, labor or other costs under section 13.04.057 or 13.04.059(c) shall be refunded in full if the extension is not completed.
(b)
All requests for refunds must be approved by the city council.
(2000 Code, sec. 11.913)
