4-6-010 GENERAL STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO DEVELOPER EXTENSIONS TO THE UTILITY SYSTEM:

A. CONDITIONS AND STANDARDS FOR CONSTRUCTING UTILITY EXTENSIONS:

The City’s Utility Division shall publish from time to time a “Conditions and Standards for Constructing Utility Developer Extensions”. All developer extensions shall abide and fully comply with said Standards. From time to time these Standards shall be updated in accordance with the “Standard Specifications for Municipal Public Works Construction of the American Public Works Association”, “Recommended Standards for Sewage Work”, the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Standards, Insurance Services Office (ISO) requirements, the American Public Works Association (APWA) Standards and with prevailing good practices relative to such extension and installations. (Ord. 3056, 8-9-1976 and Ord. 3055, 8-9-1976, eff. 7-1-1976)

B. MAINS TO EXTEND FULL WIDTH OF PROPERTY:

All extensions shall extend to and across the full width of the property served with water and sewer. No property shall be served with City water or sewer unless the main is extended to the extreme boundary limit of said property line extending full length of the front footage of said property. (Ord. 2849, 5-13-1974)

1. Special Exception for Sanitary Sewer Extensions: All installations shall extend to and across the full width of the property served with sanitary sewer except when it is shown by engineering methods, to the satisfaction of the wastewater utility, that future extension of the sewer main is not possible or necessary. If an exemption is granted, the property owner is not relieved of the responsibility to extend the main and shall execute a covenant agreeing to participate in an extension if, in the future, the wastewater utility determines that it is necessary. (Ord. 4343, 2-3-1992)

C. OVERSIZING OF UTILITIES AND REIMBURSEMENT BY CITY:

If it has been determined that it would be to the best interests of the City and the general locality to be benefited thereby to install a larger size main than one then needed or considered by the applicant, owners or developers immediately abutting upon the street, alley or easement in which such a main is to be placed, then the City may, at its discretion, require the installation of such a larger sized main in which case the City shall pay the increased difference in cost between the installation cost of the similar main and of the larger main. (Ord. 2849, 5-13-1974)

Any party required to oversize utilities may request that utility participate in the cost of the project. (Ord. 4506, 4-10-1995 and Ord. 4415, 8-16-1993; Ord. 5907, 12-10-2018)
