DEPARTMENT:

Utilities
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
In accordance with Land Development Code section 6.14.2, developers (property owners) are required to connect to a public water system if the property is within the defined connection distance. For a single-family residence, the connection distance is 400 feet from the parcel’s closest corner to the public water main. In this case, the owner is required to connect to the public water main provided by Marion County Utilities (MCU) by constructing additional water main to reach the full extent end of the property’s corner. Attached is the Agreement and supporting location map as Exhibit 1, which shows the path of the proposed water main. Owners have the option to pay MCU contractor’s low bid price or hire their own contractor; the selection is noted on page two (2) of the Agreement. Prior to the Owner entering into the Agreement, the not to exceed (NTE) construction cost, number of benefitting lots, and share values (if applicable) are verified. MCU also notifies benefitting lot owners by mail so they are aware of the conditions of the impact on their property. After the water main construction is complete, the cost and time-table data are flagged in the permitting system and MCU’s GIS to ensure construction shares (if applicable) are returned to the owner in the time period specified. The proposed 120’ extension constructed to serve the Owner’s parcel will not create any additional benefits along the route of the water main extension.
