WATER AND SEWER UTILITIES
Section 27-38 General: Declaration of Policy
The city owns, operates and maintains water treatment and
distribution and sewerage collection, and transmission systems
which serve residents within or without the city. New development
may require the extension of mains to provide service. In some
34
1
instances, the city in anticipation of expansion of its systems due
to growth and development has already provided mains for service
thereof. The cost of providing extensions, modifications, and
expansions of facilities is to be borne by property owners.
Builders or developers within the city's service areas shall defray
the costs of these extensions, modifications, and expansions. The
allocable share of each is to be charged as described herein. It
is the declared policy of the city by this ordinance to establish a
uniform method of determining charges for availability of services
so that all such contributions shall be non-discriminatory among
the various consumers served by the city's systems and shall be
applied as nearly as possible with uniformity to all consumers and
,y
prospective consumers within city's services areas . City
> t specifically reserves its rights to fix and determine rates,
r
l± charges and contributions required for the provisions, consumption,
1,l operation, maintenance, extension and expansion of its utility
services as provided herein and as authorized by law. Each
consumer is hereby notified that the city, in the exercise of its
governmental responsibility to provide for the health, safety, and
welfare of all consumers of its utility services, has the authority
and responsibility to amend its schedules of rates, charges, and
contributions from time to time to ensure the perpetuation of
service.
Section 27-39 Water and Sewer Service Agreement Required
Prior to water and sewer plan approval by city engineer and city
utilities director and execution of water and sewer main extension

shall be required to execute a "Water and Sewer Service Agreement".
35
r
a.
This agreement shall run with the land and be binding on the
developer, its successors, assigns and any other subsequent owner
of the land, setting forth such reasonable provisions governing
developer and city responsibility pertaining to the installation of
service facilities; the interconnection of plumber's lines with the
facilities of city; the manner and method of payment of contribu-
tions, fees and charges; capacity reservation fee provisions;
standards of construction or specifications; regulations, policies,
practices and procedures of the city; prohibitions against improper
use of city's facilities; and other matters normally associated
with and contained in water and sewer service agreements. Water

of property and are not assignable or transferable in any manner to
any other parcel of property. The form to be used for all water
and sewer agreements shall be approved by resolution of the City
Commission.
Section 27-40 Water and Sewer Extension Policy
The city requires payment of specific contribution charges and
I
other contribution-in-aid-of-construction preferably through the
installation of water distribution and sewerage collection
facilities by developer, with title to such facilities being
transferred to the city when the installation has been completed.
The facilities are "on-site" and "off-site" as defined in this
ordinance. The requirement for such contributions is for the
purpose of defraying the cost of the water distribution
transmission system and the sewerage collection transmission
system. Such contributions to the city shall be a condition
precedent to the execution of permit applications to the county and
36

4i
state regulatory agencies for the construction of the utilities

collection systems" as used herein, shall include all component
y parts of a water distribution system, including water mains,
valves, fittings, services, hydrants and all appurtenances as shown
IiI upon the approved design of such water distribution system and all

37
4i
director and shall conform in all respects to city criteria. The

facilities of city, developer shall agree to grant to city, such
easement or rights-of-way corresponding with the installation of
the proposed facilities . Such grant or conveyance shall be in the
;M1 ry

! acceptance of the work done by developer, but prior to the issuance
of any certificate of occupancy for any structure within the
developer' s property.
Section 27-44 Inspection
In addition to the developer' s engineer inspection work, the city
shall inspect the installation of all water distribution or
sewerage collection transmission facilities installed by developer
or developer' s contractors, which facilities are proposed to be
transferred to city for ownership, operation and control. In the
event that gravity sewerage facilities are to remain under
38
s-
ownership, operation and control of the developer as a private
system, the city reserves the right to inspect the installation of
the gravity sewerage collection facilities for the purpose of
determining if the system has excessive infiltration. These
systems must meet the same infiltration criteria as that of city
owned systems. Such inspections are intended to assure that water
and sewer lines and/or lift stations are installed in accordance
with approved designs and are further consistent with the criteria
and specifications governing the kind and quality

However, if there is no evidence of infiltration and the system is
cleared by lamping, television inspection would not be required.
All defects encountered during the inspections, regardless of cause
shall be repaired by developer at no cost to city. Final release
of developer's responsibilities will not be made until the
utilities re-inspection is accomplished. To insure that adequate
funds will be available for the required tests and possible
repairs, the developer shall post a bond or submit a letter of
credit from a local bank in the amount of ten ( 10 ) percent of the qM
certified construction cost of said on-site sewer system for a
a period of one year following the date of issuance of the last
certificate of occupancy.
In the event any public roads are excavated by the developer in
connecting the on-site system with the off-site system, the
' developer must accept responsibility, and hold harmless the city
for a period of three p years regarding all repairs and maintenance
of the pavement restoration, in accordance with the standards set
