§ 41-113. Tie-on charge.

(a)

An initial tie-on charge for each water connection shall be levied. Tie-on charges shall be established by resolution of the city council.

(b)

Whenever a multifamily structure owner or developer installs individual three-fourths-inch meters for each dwelling unit, the tie-on charge may be computed on the basis of a single meter of sufficient size to serve the entire structure. Any developer and/or owner who has expended in excess of $50,000.00 toward the cost of a water main extension, as provided in section 41-243, and has entered into a lease-purchase agreement with the city regarding said water main, as provided in section 41-244, shall be exempt from said tie-on charge for the first water connection which said developer and/or owner makes to said main.

(c)

Such revenue shall be deposited in a special fund and used only for the purpose of financing future construction of extensions and improvements to the water distribution system of the city.

(d)

The tie-on charge shall be an addition to all other charges for water connections and water services.
