1. If the utility requires a property owner to construct a sewer 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 sewer facility and the additional sewer facility, based on the lowest of three bids from reputable licensed contractors furnished by the property owner. Extending the sewer 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. A property owner who constructs a sewer system extension that directly benefits property in addition to the owner’s may request a latecomer agreement in order to be reimbursed by benefitting properties that connect to the extension during the agreement’s duration. See BCC 24.04.150 regarding latecomer agreements.

3. The city may install sewer facilities to facilitate development, coordinate with other city projects or for other utility purposes and may recover its costs, including interest, through a connection charge. (Ord. 5964 § 1, 2010.)
