DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On May 21, 2024, the Board approved Ordinance 2024-13. This ordinance updated the Short Water Line Extension Program, allowing Marion County Utilities (MCU) to include water main extension projects completed by their in-house crew. MCU now has the authority to assign the actual proportional cost, or "Share," to all improved properties, referred to as "Benefitting Lots," as a capital connection fee.
During a later public comment session at the same meeting, the Board also approved MCU's first crew-installed water main extension, Project MCIH-MO9-01. This project, initially presented by MCU on July 16, 2024, required the installation of 341 feet of 6-inch water main to service eight (8) total parcels.
The work is now complete, and the water main is cleared for connection to MCU’s system. All costs and Benefitting Lots have been certified with a final total project cost, which is a decrease from the estimated costs. This final Resolution verifies the project area (Exhibit A), corrects the total project cost (Exhibit B), and updates the Benefitting Lot Share for recording with Official Records and in MCU’s database, enabling collection from future Benefitting Lots upon connection to the system.
