Ordinance 1237-86 - Laserfiche WebLink

• 1 C. The term "lateral line" or "lateral" is used herein to designate a distribution system pipeline which includes fire hydrants and service 2 connections to adjacent property. The standard minimum size of lateral lines shall be six inches in diameter unless otherwise determined by 3 the Utilities Superintendent. The location of all new lines shall be determined by the Utilities Superintendent. 4 D. All new lateral lines shall be paid for by local improvement district 5 assessments or cash payments by customers desiring water service. Installation of new laterals shall include all appurtenances required 6 for a complete installation, such as valves, fittings, fire hydrants and lateral line extensions to grid the system and thereby eliminate dead ends. 8 E. All system improvement lines shall be paid from water system funds as hereinafter set forth; provided however, the financial participation of 6 the water system in any local improvement district shall be determined exclusively by the terms of the ordinances establishing the local 10 improvement district. The term "system improvement line" as used herein shall designate those feeder lines constructed for the purpose 11 of improving the distribution system as a whole or in part as determined by the Utilities Superintendent. 12 F. To the property benefited there shall be charged the cost of installing 13 a water line including fire hydrants and appurtenances. If the water line is a system improvement line, the water system shall bear all 14 costs in excess of the original design that is adequate for property benefited based on the water system's anticipated use of the property 15 at the time of the installation. Industrial developments which require large quantities of water or multiple sources shall be required to bear 16 the cost of any necessary expansion or modification of water lines to serve their needs. 17 G. Renewals of lateral and feeder lines with the same size pipe shall be 18 done by and at the expense of the water system, in the discretion of the Utilities Superintendent subject to funding availability. The term 19 "renewals" as used herein shall designate the replacement of lines previously installed which have deteriorated to a condition which 20 requires excessive maintenance or otherwise does not provide satisfactory service. 21 H. It is recognized that lateral mains of a size less than the standard 22 minimum six inch diameter have previously been installed or annexed to the water system. When such an undersized lateral requires renewal or 23 replacement, it shall be installed in accordance with the standards set forth herein. Payment for renewal or replacement of such undersized 24 lines shall be made as follows: 25 1. Any such line replaced with a pipe four inches in diameter shall be installed by and at the expense of the water system; 26 2. Any such line replaced with a pipe six inches or larger in 27 diameter shall be installed by the water system. The cost equivalent to a four inch pipe shall be borne by the water 28 system. The difference in cost between a four inch pipe and the larger size pipe together with any additional fire hydrants and 29 appurtenances shall be assessed against and paid by the property requiring the improvement. The equivalent cost of the various 30 size pipeline installations used in the computation of assessments to property benefited shall be determined by the 31 Utilities Division from current cost records for similar installations. 32 3
