1. The utility shall install meters two inches or less in diameter provided the owner pays all applicable costs, fees and charges pursuant to BCC 24.02.250.

2. The utility may install water services two inches and smaller in diameter, where services are not provided through a utility developer extension agreement pursuant to BCC 24.02.120(C), provided the owner agrees to pay all costs, fees and charges pursuant to BCC 24.02.250.

1. If the utility requires a property owner to construct a water facility beyond the scope of city code and engineering standards requirements, the utility shall compensate the property owner for the difference in cost between the normally sized water facility and the additional water facility, based on the lowest of three bids from reputable licensed contractors furnished by the property owner. Extending the water system to the extreme of the property, per BCC 24.02.130(B)(2), is a development requirement and is specifically not subject to reimbursement by the utility.

2. An owner who constructs a water system extension that directly benefits a property in addition to the owner’s may request a latecomer agreement in order to be reimbursed from benefitting properties that connect to the extension during the agreement’s duration. See BCC 24.02.150 regarding latecomer agreements.

3. If the utility chooses to install water facilities to facilitate development, coordinate with other city projects, or for other utility purposes, it may recover its costs, including interest, through a connection charge. (Ord. 5963 § 1, 2010.)
