The District will provide water and sewer service,
when necessary, to extend its service system, under the following
conditions:
A. Bona fide applicants will design and construct, at
their expense, any necessary extension piping to be directly connected
into the District's service system.
B. The extension must be approved as to the direction,
distance, etc. by the District prior to its construction; the same
holds true for any pumping stations or other devices necessary to
provide service.
C. The District reserves the right to determine the size
of the pipe necessary in making such extension.
The ownership of the extensions installed under
this rule shall, at all times, be in the District, its successors
and assigns. Upon completion and acceptance by the District of any
approved extension and/or appurtenances to the system, it is understood
and agreed that the developer or customer shall be responsible for
and obligated to correct any deficiencies in construction for a period
of one year from the date of acceptance of the facilities by the District.
This condition shall be stipulated in the written form of acceptance
issued by the District.
Where the main or extension is to be installed
on private property, the owner or those proposing the extension thereof
shall provide, free of charge, an easement and a free, unobstructed
and uninterrupted right-of-way for the installation, maintenance and
extension of the main on such private property, and shall, if requested
by the District, place on public record a facsimile plat, showing
the location on such property.
All extensions to the District's system will
be designed and constructed in accordance with the latest State Health
Department, State Water Control Board and District specifications.
To assure compliance with these specifications and to assure the District
that the extension is properly built the District will inspect the
extension as installed. An inspection charge fixed by the District
will be made to the owner/developer. The owner/developer is responsible
for testing such facilities at its expense. The District reserves
the right to test facilities at the owner's/developer's expense. Upon
passing the required inspection, the District will certify to the
State Health Department and State Water Control Board that the required
inspections have been made and approved and will be accepted as part
of the District's system. Five sets of "as built" plans must be submitted
to the District for any proposed extension within 60 days of completion
and testing of the extensions.
The applicant shall pay all costs of line extensions.
The District shall determine with the applicant
any connection, service and other fees and terms with any applicant
who wishes service and who is outside of the District. The District
shall not be obligated to provide such service. Any agreement reached
by an applicant and the District for service outside the District
shall not take effect until ratified and approved by the District.
