The fees set forth in sections
24.02.111 and
24.02.112 apply only when the connection is made to a location within 200 feet of an existing collection or distribution line, or where a road cut or road bore is not required. In any other case, the party requesting service will be required to pay an additional fee equal to the time and material costs incurred by the city in making the connection.
(Ordinance 031104, sec. 4, adopted 11/4/03)
In any case where the connection fees are based in whole or
in part on a time and materials assessment, the city manager shall
estimate the total connection fee and inform the applicant of the
estimate. The applicant shall pay the estimated fee before work commences.
When the connection has been completed, the actual cost will be determined
and the actual fee will be calculated and any amount due will be collected
before service is provided. Any overpayment will be promptly refunded.
