§ 90-7. Policy regarding extension of water or sewer service facilities of the city.

(a)

Each person desiring to extend water or sewer service facilities of the city shall do so at his own cost and according to the particular guidelines therefor established by resolution of the city commission. Either the applicant or the city may design or construct the proposed facilities at the applicant's cost. All designs shall be approved by the public utilities director.

(b)

If the city requires the applicant to install facilities greater than the facilities needed for the applicant's own use, the applicant shall install such facilities as required by the city at the applicant's own cost. The city, under a contract between the city and the applicant, shall recover on behalf of the applicant the excess costs identified as being due to the oversizing of facilities and shall reimburse the applicant only when such costs are recovered from future users. The city shall not reimburse the applicant, however, for costs recovered more than ten years from the date of the contract.

(c)

The applicant shall be required to extend water or sewer facilities across the entire frontage of the applicant's property to the property line with the adjoining property most distant from the point of connection.

(d)

Upon completion of the water or sewer facilities as set forth in this section the applicant shall convey such facilities and property rights attendant thereto to the city by an instrument suitable for such purpose.

(e)

The applicant shall provide the required bond and insurance in amounts and coverages satisfactory to the city.
