ORDINANCE NO. c a 3 3-q 7 EVERETT An ORDINANCE establishing requirements and rates for developer installed services, amending Section 33 of Ordinance 1237-86 (EMC 14.16.330), and repealing Ordinance No. 1697-90. WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Everett finds that an adjustment in fees is needed to effectively manage and administer the construction and installation of new water services and move the developer installed charges to the water rate ordinance; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF EVERETT DOES ORDAIN: Section 1: Section 33 of Ordinance No.1237-86 (EMC 14.16.330) is hereby amended as follows: At such time as the Everett Water Utility or private developer is installing a section of distribution system piping in a new plat or subdivision or undeveloped lot, the Water Utility or developer shall, at the same time, install water service piping from the main to each of the platted or undeveloped lots. It is the intent of this section to minimize the number of"open-cuts" required in a newly paved street in order to provide water service to subsequently constructed homes. Similarly, for other developments requiring new mains, the developer shall install the service less meter, at the time of main installation. The cost of materials, labor and equipment necessary to complete the service line installations to City standards shall be borne by the developer or local improvement district paying for the distribution system piping. At such time as a request is made for a building permit, the individual making the application shall pay to the Water Utility the amount specified in the current ordinance or resolution setting rates and charges for the developer installed water service connections. Such sum shall be used for meter purchase, installation and to complete the necessary records and accounting for the new service. If a service of a different size or type than that previously installed is needed, then the individual requiring the new service will have to purchase the new service at the standard rate then charged by the Water Utility. If a meter setter and/or meter box was not included in the original development, then the property owner must purchase these at the time the building permit is requested. Section 2: Repealer. Ordinance No. 1697-90 is here- epealed. 1,1% / 4 0144 4•, : D. Ha en, Mayor Attest: City Clerk Passed: 7/23197 Valid: 7/24/47 Published: el y'4/ CSTAGORD:DVM7RORl(Y16/6/97)
