Utility will make service and extensions of service available under this Policy subject to matters of economic feasibility. This Policy shall not apply to developer agreements entered into between Utility and contributors which reflect policies implemented and contracts entered into prior to the adoption of this Policy. 2.0 AVAILABILITY The provisions of the Policy are available to contributors through- out the territory subject only to matters of economic feasibility. For Rules governing service outside the territory, see Paragraph 15.0 of this Policy. 3.0 MAIN EXTENSION AND CONNECTION (PI~NT CAPACITY) CHARGES The following is t'he charge being made by Utility to coptributors (including the Parent Company) upon approval of the Ci~ Council where water or sewer service is available, or agreed ~be made available, in the territory. "On-Site" or "Off-Site" water distribution and sewage collection lines and facilities are included in these charges and provisions. Charges to contributors pursuant to this Policy are calculated On a cost based upon the estimated demand of the contributor's proposed installation upon the transmission and treatment facilities of the Utility, and is computed by multiplying the following rates by the daily rated gallons of demand set forth in Exhibit A, as modified by Paragraph 6.0 of this Policy. Connection (plant capacity) charges are stated per gallon demand for water and sewer service. Connection (Plant Capacity) Charge Water: $2.44 Sewer: $2.45 Charles E. Fancher, Jr. Senior Vice President eral Development Utilities, I astian High~ands Division First Revised Sheet Cancel~ Original Sheet 4.0 4.0 Extension Charges are stated at the charge per foot measured along front of the property to be served. Main Extension Charge Water: $11.73 Sewer: $12.46 (Sewer charge includes cost of service laterals.) Main extension charges for service to customers outside Utility's certificated service area will be negotiated. (a) Such customers may be required to advance the full cost of on-site and off-site mains, subject to refund of portions thereof in excess of the contributor's hydraulic share. (b) In addition to payment of the above, connection (plant capacity) charges will be required to support excess plant capacity dedicated to the contributor. 4.0 GALLONS PER DAY, WATER & SEWER DEMAND CHARACTERISTICS Listed in Exhibit A (attached hereto) are daily rated gallons of demand for various occupancies which will be used in computing Connection (plant capacity) and Main Extension Charge~ In the instance of common facilities for multiple dwelling u~ts such as irrigation, laundering, recreation facilities, and commercial and commercial/residential facilities, determination of connection (plant capacity) and main extension charges will be based upon the use characteristic defined by engineering data supplied by the prospective contributor, as accepted by Utility. 5.0 PREPARATION OF DEVELOPER AGREEMENTS Utility may require that the contributor, in addition to the fees and charges set forth herein, bear the cost of preparation of devel- oper agreement by independent counsel or persons qualified to draft and prepare such agreements. Said charges shall not exceed that amount normally to be contemplated for such service. 6.0 WATER AND SEWER CAPACITY ALLOCATIONS Upon payment by the contributor and its proper execution of an agreement for service availability pursuant to these rules, Utility will reserve and will allocated to the contributor the portion of water and sewer plant and off-site line capacity as set forth in the agreement. If, for example, the contributor shall calculate demand of 350 gallons of water per day per single-family residence, that capacity will be built or reserved for the contributor. Utility will not be obligated to provide capacity or service in excess of Charles E. Fancher, Jr. Senior Vice President  eral Development Utilities, astian Highlands Division Original Sheet 5.0 that allocation and may require consumers to curtail use which exceeds such allocated capacity. In those areas where the experience of Utility has demonstrated that the demand characteristics of customers of the community exceed those daily rated gallons of demand set forth in Exhibit A, Utility shall require that the contributor pay those fees and make the necessary commitments based on the actual and experienced demand, and not the average demand. Thus, when Utility shall demonstrate to the developer that its records and experience show, for example, that a single-family residence of the type which the contributor proposed to build in the specific community places demand during certain times of the year equal to 600 gallons of water per day, then the charges per gallon demand set forth in Paragraph 3.0 of this Policy shall be multiplied by 600 gallons. In no event shall Utility be required to build or accept plans, specifications, fees, charges or agreements predicated upon demand for water service of less than 350 gallons per single~family residential equivalent or sewer service or less than 250 gallons per residential equivalent per day. 7.0 WATER SERVICE ONLY-SEWER SERVICE ONLY 8.0 in any instance where either water or sewer service only is furnished without the companion service, then the connection (plant capacity) charge shall be computed for that service o~y. WATER METER INSTALLATION FEES Meter Size Charge Maximum Water Use Demand* 5/8 x 3/4" $ 100.00 20 gallons per minute 1" 150.00 50 gallons per minute 1½" 250.00 100 gallons per minute 2" 350.00 160 gallons per minute *Based on AWWA specifications for displacement type meters. Utility will not be obligated to furnish water in excess of "Maximum Water Use Demand." Recommended Maximum Rate for continuous opera- tion will be 1/3 of the Maximum Rate listed. Meters of two inches in size are charged upon the estimated actual cost of installation. Where actual charges differ from estimates, the difference will be refunded by Utility if the total cost was less than the estimate, or paid by the contributor prior to initiation of water service if the actual cost exceeds the estimated cost. The contributor will be furnished a copy of the invoice at the time of installation. 9.0 ACTION BY GOVERNMENTAL AUTItORiTY Requirements by appropriate governmental authorities to limit or curtail utility services, such as irrigation moratoriums, may re- Gordon J. Pfersich Senior Vice President  eral Development Utilities, astian Highlands DJ. vision Original Sheet 6.0 strict the use of utility service in addition to the maximum water use demand set forth in Paragraph 8.0 of this Policy. Contributors and customers obtain reservation for service or the service :itself subject to notice of this limitation. 10.0 TRANSFER OF CONTRIBUTED PROPERTY-BILLS OF SALE Utility reserves the right to construct all facilities for providing water and sewer service to the point of connection. If Utility determines that it will accept such facilities constructed by others, the following rules will apply. Each contributor (developer) who has constructed portions of a water distribution and sewage collection system shall convey such compon- ent parts of the water distribution and sewage collection system to Utility by bill of sale, in form satisfactory to Utiiity's attorney, together with such evidence as may be required by Utility that the water and/or sewer systems proposed to be transferred to Utility are free of all liens and encumbrances. Any facilities in the category of consumer's connections of the cus- tomer's side of the connection point shall not be transferred to Utility and shall remain the property of individual customers, their successors or assigns. Utility shall not be required to accept title to any component part of the water distribution or sewage collection system until Utiiity's engineer has approved the construction of sa~d lines, accepted the tests to determine that such constructio~ is in accor- dance with the criteria established by Utility, and t~reafter evi- denced its acceptance of such lines for Utility's ownership, opera- tion, and maintenance. Contributor shall maintain accurate cost records establishing the construction costs of all utility facilities constructed by con- tributor. Such cost infor~ation shall be furnished to Utility concurrently with the bill of sale, and such cost information shall be a prerequisite for the acceptance by Utility of the portion of the water distribution and sewage collection system constructed by the contributor. Utility reserves the right to refuse connection and to deny the commencement of service to any contributor seeking to be connected to portions of the water distribution and sewage collection system until such time as the provisions of this section have been fully met. With respect to a development which constitutes a "single unit" such as a mobile home park, a shopping center, or apartment complex, Utility's obligation for service and maintenance of lines and faci- lities located wholly within such developments, and not in public Gordon J. Pfersich Senior Vice President  eral Development Utilities, astian Highlands Division Original Sheet 7.0 rights of way, shall extend solely to repair and/or replace the lines or facilities, and the Utility will not be liable in any manner for damages, replacement or repairs to surface areas. li.O INSPECTION FEES Any engineering plans or designs for, or construction of facilities by a contributor (developer) which are to become a part of Utiltty's system, will be subject to review and inspection by the Utility. For this service, Utility may charge an inspection fee based upon the actual cost to Utility of inspection of facilities constructed by contributors or independent contractors for connection with the fac- ilities of Utility. Such inspection fee shall be paid by the con- tributor in addition to all other charges above stated, as a condi- tion precedent to service. 12.0 INSPECTION OF PLUMBER'S HOOK-UP It shall be the responsibility of the contributor or its plumbing contractor to connect contributor's plumbing installation with the water or sewer system. Utility reserves the right to inspect ail such connections to be assured that the same are properly made in accordance with Utility's rules governing such connections, and that the connection, as made, is free from infiltration. The contributor shall notify Utility of any proposed lnterconnection with the facilities of Utility, and connection may be made without the presence of Uttlity's inspector. However, such connection shall remain open until inspection by Utility and until notice of the approval of such connection is furnished to the developer in accordance with the practices and procedures of Utility. Any connection covered without the benefit of inspection will result in the contributor being required to reopen the connection for subsequent inspection. If Utility fails to inspect the connection w~thin 48 hours after notice that the same is ready to inspect, the connection shall be deemed approved by Utility. 13.0 ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS Governmental Authority: The charges set forth in this Policy are subject to adjustment by appropriate action of the governmental agency having jurisdiction of this Policy, either upon the initiative of the governmental agency or by request of Utility. 14.0 PRIOR POLICY Prior to the adoption of this Policy, Utility had, by virtue of its obligations, established other policies which will remain in effect until the obligations pursuant to those policies have been fulfilled. Under a previous program, Utility constructs water Gordon J. Pfersich Senior Vice President Leral Development Utilities In, ,astian Highlands Division Original Sheet 8.0 facilities at its own cost covering approximately 1229 lots to which water service would be extended by Utility within sixty days after the building permit has been obtained and notification of commence- ment of construction has been given to Utility. The cost of such water facilities is to be borne solely by Utility as an investment. The only charge to the customer would be a meter installation fee. Utility made a commitment to provide sewer service to approximately 1229 lots, and facilities will be installed as an investment of Utility to those lots. These commitments by Utility were based upon contracts made in the past and are nQt available to prospect- rive customers or contributors. A list showing the lots to which service will be made available, as an investment by Utility, is available in Utility's office, and may be examined by any customer or prospective customer during the regular business hours of Utility's office. 15.0 EXTENSION OUTSIDE TERRITORY Providing service outside Utility's territory may involve formal notice and formal proceedings before the Board of City Commissioners and, therefore, entail engineering, administrative and legal expenses in addition to costs incurred by Utility in providing service within its territory. Utility will, therefore, not be obligated to provide its services outside the territory unless the contributor agrees, in advance, to defray those additional expenses and pay to Utility the estimated costs thereof. The advance payment will be adjusted to conform with actual expenses after the proceedings have been concluded. Utility will further make such extensions outside the territory only if the net income to be derived from prospective consumers within the area to be served by the proposed extension will provide a fair return on Utility's investment in the proposed extension, transmission, and treatment facilities involved. Utility will not extend its facilities under circumstances where the extensions will cause service to existing customers to suffer either as a result of reduction of capacity to provide its service to customers, or the diminishment of the economic capability of Utility to meet its financial commitments. 16.0 DISTRIBUTION AND .COLLECTION SYSTEMS CONSTRUCTION If any on-site distribution and collection systems are constructed by the contributor as set forth in Paragraph 10.0 herein, Utility shall establish specifications based upon good engineering and public utility practices, and the contributor shall, not less than sixty (60) days prior to commencing construction, furnish Utility with a complete copy of the plans and specifications of the proposed on-site collection and distribution system. Utility shall have thirty (30) days in which to determine the acceptability of the plans and specifications furnished to it by the contributor. If the Gordon J. Pfersich Senior Vice President ~eral Development Utilities, I: stian Highlands Division Original Sheet 9.0 Utility shall object to the plans and specifications or any part thereof, the contributor shall defer the commencement of construction pending the resolution of Utility's objections. 17.0 INSPECTIONS Utility shall have, at all times during the construction, the right to inspect the construction of the on-site distribution and/or coll- ection systems being built by the contributor, or his agents or em- ployees, as set forth in Paragraph 11.0 of this Policy and receive payment of fees referred to herein. 18.0 REFUNDABLE ADVANCES In addition to the charges set forth herein, Utility will require a refundable advance by a contributor to temporarily defray the cost of any off-site extension of water and/or sewer mains, pumping stations, and other facilities necessary to provide service to the contributor's property unless, at the time of the request for service, Utility determines that extension to provide such service is economically justified or is appropriate to improve symtem reliability or enhance the quality of service to existing customers. The amount of the refundable advance will be bamed on the cost of the off-site mains and other facilities. Such facilities shall be designed and constructed in accordance with Utility'$ master plan for service to the immediate surrounding area. Charges paid by the contributor over and above the contributor'8 hydraulic share of the facilities shall be refunded to the contributor in accordance with the terms and conditions of a refunding agreement which Utility will execute with the contributor. The refund agreement will provide for a plan of refund bamed upon connection of other properties that will be served by the facilities to the extent of their hydraulic share. The contributor shall bear the reasonable expense of preparing the refund agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the life of the refund agreement shall be seven years, after which time the balance of the refund not made to the contributor by the terms and conditions of the refund agreement will be retained by Utility, and such refund agreement will be cancelled. In no event shall a contributor recover an amount greater than the difference between the capitalized cost of such improvements and the contributor's own hydraulic share of such improvements. Utility will not include any interest upon the refund of the contributor's advance. 19.0 GUARANTEED REVENUE AGREEMENT Utility may establish a policy of requiring, as a condition prece- dent to service, that the contributor (developer) enter into a guar- anteed revenue agreement. Gordon J. Pfersich Senior Vice President erai Development Utilities, I astian Highlands Division Original Sheet 10.0 20.0 RESERVE CAPACITY CHARGE Utility may enter ~nto an agreement with a contributor requiring contributor to pay a minimum guaranteed connection charge. If contributor wishes to insure that there will be available sufficient plant capacity at various planned stages of development and, if Utility agrees to reserve such capacity for contributor, the con- tributor will be required to pay applicable fixed costs including depreciation, property tax, insurance and interest costs on plant capacity reserved for the period of the reservation.
