§ 48-76. Extensions.

Water and sewer mains may be extended to serve property which is a single lot or tract on the following basis and in accordance with the following minimum standards and procedures:

(1)

Extension within developed property. A developer, including individual lot owners, shall defray the entire costs of water and sewer mains and all appurtenances thereto that lie totally within the subdivision or lot. If funds are available, the city council may pay for required over-sizing of lines greater that the development needs.

(2)

Extensions to mains lying along one or more sides of a lot or subdivision and serving property other than the subdivision for which the extension is made. For six-inch water mains and for six-inch sewer mains, construction alongside a subdivided tract and serving property other than that subdivision for which the extension was made, the developer shall pay the entire costs of water and sewer mains. Where alongside mains larger than six inches serve other property, the developer may be refunded the additional cost to oversize the lines beyond the needs of such property. The city will not be obligated to pay more than the amount of the actual pro rata charges which it collected for connections to the line nor shall refunds be made contrary to section 48-79.

(3)

Off-site extensions outside developed property. Where water and/or sewer facilities are not available to a tract to be developed, mains may, at the discretion of the city, be extended to the subdivision or tract at the sole expense of the developer requiring such extension. The developer will be eligible to receive pro rata charges which the city has collected for connections to the line. The city will not be obligated to pay more than the amount of actual pro rata charges which it collected for connections to the line nor shall refunds be made contrary to section 48-79.
