Sec. 13-49. Extension of facilities; reimbursement.
(a) Any applicant for water service who extends a water line to serve a particular area shall be eligible for reimbursement from future connectors to that extension. The basis, or formula, for this reimbursement shall be according to the terms established in the Memorandum of Agreement for Public Improvements (MOAPI) or other agreement between the Town and the land owner.
(b) It is recognized that there are innumerable combinations of conditions relating to water line extensions which affect the basis for reimbursement. However, the following principles will be used as guidelines in establishing the reimbursement formula:
(1) The formula should be simple to administer.
(2) The amount to be reimbursed to the applicant should be that part of the cost of the water line extension, including necessary appurtenances, that is represented by the ratio of the use by others to the total use (other SFEs and applicant SFEs, or length of line through or adjacent to other’s property).
(3) To the extent deemed applicable by the Engineering and Utilities Director, the cost of any pumping or storage facilities also required for the proper operation of a water main extension and which are required to be paid for by an applicant for water service shall be eligible for inclusion in the reimbursement formula.
