§ 13.12.040. Main extensions to new customers other than subdivisions.

Mains will be extended to serve new customers under the following terms and conditions:

A.

No main extension will be made by the city except on an approved dedicated street, alley or recorded easement;

B.

Prior to construction of the main, every applicant for sewer service shall enter into a written form agreement for such extension and shall deposit with the department of public works an amount equal to ten percent of the estimated cost of the extension, including engineering and administration. The estimated cost shall be based on the actual size of facilities required to meet the service demands from that extension, except that six inch pipe shall be the minimum size considered for general use. Should the sewer department desire to install facilities greater than are needed to meet said service demands, the cost of the excess size of facilities shall be borne by the city. The engineering department shall then proceed with plans and specifications and shall solicit and open bids for the proposed work. On the basis of the approved bid, plus engineering and administration costs, the department of public works shall inform the applicant as to the cost of the proposed extension. Upon receipt by the city of an amount which, with the original deposit, is equal to the cost of the work, the engineering department shall proceed with the construction of the extension;

C.

In the event that the applicant or applicants fail to deposit the required funds within sixty days after determination of the cost, the extension will not be made and no refund on the ten percent deposit will be made, except that where actual costs are less than the amount of such deposit, the city may refund the unused amount.
