SUBJECT:
Title
Request Approval of Water Main Extension Connection Agreement WME-102-S Between H. Stuart Investments, LLC, and Marion County Utilities (Budget Impact - Neutral; expenditure of $29,441)
Body
INITIATOR: DEPARTMENT:
Tony Cunningham, P.E., Director Utilities
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
In accordance with Land Development Code section 6.14.2, developers (property owners) are required to connect to public utilities if the property is within 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 property owner is required to connect to the public water main provided by Marion County Utilities (MCU) and install the water main across the entire parcel’s frontage and end the system at the farthest end of the property. The County has the necessary funding to extend the water main an additional 45 feet beyond the owner’s 168-foot obligation, so the dead end is in a better placement to prevent disruption when future extension happens.
Resolution No. 21-R-381 approved by the Board on August 17, 2021, authorizes in certain circumstances to allow MCU to enter into a Share Agreement whereby each parcel connecting to MCU system pays only its share of the project based upon MCU low bid contractor’s price for the work.
