The applicant to be served shall be required to pay the charges provided for in this
division. The owners of all intervening property served by the given water main extension
shall be required to pay the charges provided for in this division at such time as
their property is connected to the mains thus laid. Where an applicant for service
secures an extension and service under this particular option for main extension,
he shall pay the pro rata charges on all property owned by him and which is served
by the extension required. The required extension of said main shall be figured in
such manner as to leave out of the calculations that portion of any main adjacent
to property already having other than temporary service, and for which the pro rata
charges thereon have been paid or credited under the terms of this division.
(b)
An exception to the provisions of subsection (a) of this section shall be made where
two or more individual applicants desire water service and the nearest applicant is
more than 100 feet from existing lines. In that case, the city may extend its mains
upon payment of the charges due under this division provided there is one customer
for every 100 feet of such extension, excluding street intersections and that portion
of the extension adjacent to property already having other than temporary water service.
An exception to the 100-foot provision may also be made when an individual applicant
is more than 100 feet from existing water mains and the city council approves such
extension as being in the best interests of the city.
