§ 122-58. Policy regarding extensions to new development.
Latest version.
New development may require the extension of mains to provide service, as well as
modification or expansion of existing facilities or plants to accommodate new service
demands. Where the county has already provided facilities and/or systems for service
of new development, the cost thereof is to be borne by property owners, builders or
developers within the county's service areas to defray or partially defray such costs.The
allocable share of each is to be charged as described in this article. It is the declared
policy of the county by this article to establish a uniform method of determining
charges for availability of services so that all such contributions shall be nondiscriminatory
among the various customers served by the county's systems and shall be applied as
nearly as possible with uniformity to all customers and prospective customers within
the county's service areas. The county specifically reserves its rights to fix and
determine rates, charges and contributions required for the provisions, consumption,
operation, maintenance, extension and expansion of its utility services as provided
in this article and as authorized by law. Each customer is hereby notified that the
county, in the exercise of its governmental responsibility to provide for the health,
safety and welfare of all customers of its utility services, has the authority and
responsibility to amend its schedules of rates, charges and contributions from time
to time to ensure the perpetuation of service.
