A. Property Owner Installation. The property owner shall install all private drainage facilities as required by this code. Installation shall be authorized by issuance of a drainage connection permit or execution of a utility developer extension agreement as required in BCC 24.06.060 unless covered under another permit pursuant to BCC 24.06.060(E).

B. Costs. All installation costs are the property owner’s responsibility, except that:

1. If the utility requires a property owner to oversize a public drainage facility, the utility shall compensate the property owner for the difference in cost between the normally sized facility and the oversized facility, based on the lowest of three bids furnished by the property owner from, in the discretion of the utility, reputable licensed contractors;

2. A property owner who constructs a public drainage system extension that directly benefits another property in addition to the proper owner’s property may request execution of a latecomer agreement in order to be reimbursed from benefitting properties that connect to the extension during the agreement’s duration. See BCC 24.06.080 regarding latecomer agreements; and

3. The utility may choose to install public or private drainage 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. 5905 § 1, 2009.)
