(1) Generally. The developer of a subdivision shall be responsible for submitting the design and installation of that portion of the water system to be located within the subject property, including all service connections, valves, meters, pumps, reservoirs and the like, for city approval. Once approved by the city, the developer of a subdivision is solely responsible for all costs associated with the purchase and installation of the system, plus payment of all other fees imposed by the city, unless a separate written agreement with the city provides otherwise. All work and materials must be furnished in conformance with city standard.

(2) Larger main required. When the city’s Master Water Plan calls for a larger main within a proposed subdivision than would be otherwise required, it shall be the responsibility of the primary developer to provide and install, to city specifications, such larger main at his or her cost.

(3) Cost difference. If this difference in size is attributable to vacant land indicated for development in the Comprehensive Plan, the developer shall be responsible for payment of the larger pipe, but the cost difference for the increased pipe size shall be charged as an off-site cost to the secondary developer of such vacant land and rebated to the primary developer if that land is secondarily developed within 10 years of the larger main’s installation.

(1) The developer of a subdivision shall pay for all off-site costs required to provide adequate service to the subdivision.

(2) Where the city determines that it is necessary or desirable to upgrade or extend existing mains serving other areas, the developer must pay the developer’s share of such upgrading where the city determines that the subdivision will benefit from such upgrade and/or extension.

(3) The developer shall pay for the developer’s share, as determined by the city, for any of the water system’s main lines or main extensions that have occurred in the past 10 years that may benefit the proposed subdivision.
