(Ord. No. 2021-11-53 repealed Section 17.10.400 titled "Extension Charges To Be Assessed To Subsequent Connectors - Reimbursement Permitted")

The city council may, by resolution, establish fees and charges for the purpose of defraying the cost of processing extension applications and the administration of this chapter.

(Ord. No. 89-04-02)

It is the intent of this chapter to:

1. Provide for the logical extension of essential water and sewer system improvements in a manner consistent with the city's master plan and the economic capacity of the community.
2. Provide a means whereby property which is not suitable for development because of inadequate water or sewer utilities may be made suitable for development.
3. Establish the terms and conditions under which water and sewer main extensions shall be approved.

(Ord. No. 89-04-02)

The design, location, material and standards of construction of all extensions to the city's water and sewer system shall be in accordance with city standards and approved by the city engineer. The design and sizing of all extensions shall be based upon considerations of adequacy to meet both present and future requirements and consistency with the city's master water and sewer plan. All extension shall connect to the nearest adequate line, as determined by the city, and shall extend the full length of the frontage of the property to be serviced by such extension.

(Ord. No. 89-04-02)

All costs in connection with the construction of water and sewer main extensions shall be borne by the applicant. Provided, that the applicant shall be eligible for reimbursement for certain of the improvements as hereinafter set forth (see section 17.10.400).

(Ord. No. 89-04-02)

All subdivisions and large scale development projects shall be served by the city's central water distribution system and sewage collection system. Said systems shall consist of the pipes, valves, fire hydrants, manholes and other appurtenances necessary for the proper operation of the system within the boundary of the proposed project (On-site facilities) and also those outside the boundary of the proposed project necessary to provide adequate service to the proposed project (Off-site facilities). All such facilities shall be designed, approved and constructed in accordance with the applicable provisions of this code and standards and specifications adopted pursuant hereto.

(Ord. No. 89-04-02)

The city engineer shall review and approve or disapprove all plans for water and sewer facilities required for submission for approval of subdivision or large scale development projects. The engineer may, where necessary to adequately accommodate a proposed project, require amendments to the design of the project plan and, pursuant to the provisions of Section 17.10.203, require the installation of water and sewer mains having capacities in excess of the minimum required to serve the proposed development.

For purposes of compliance with the provisions of this section the review of the proposed extensions shall be conducted concurrently with, and as part of, the review process for the applicable subdivision or large scale development project.

(Ord. No. 89-04-02)

Where identified in the master plan for water and sewer or where the city council has determined that future growth of the city necessitates the construction of a water or sewer main having a capacity larger than required to serve the proposed development, the construction of such oversize line or facility shall be required as a condition of approval of the extension.

(Ord. No. 89-04-02)

Upon receipt of an application for water or sewer service to a premise not presently served by an existing adequate water or sewer main, the city engineer shall prepare or cause to be prepared a map or maps showing:

1. The design of the proposed extension;
2. The location and ownership of all property fronting upon the proposed extension and the location of all such parcels owned by the applicant; and
3. The engineer's recommendations with respect to the design and construction of proposed extension. Construction of any proposed extension, not shown on the city's master water and sewer plan shall not commence until the location thereof shall have been approved by the planning commission. In the event the construction necessitates the disturbance of existing city facilities, the city may require a performance guarantee, satisfactory to the council, to insure the restoration of any disturbed improvement.

(Ord. No. 89-04-02)

Where identified in the master plan for water and sewer or where the city council has determined that future growth of the city necessitates the construction of a water or sewer main having a capacity larger than required to serve the proposed development, the construction of such oversize line or facility shall be required as a condition of approval of the extension.
