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 would be required to install the water main across the parcel’s entire frontage and end the system at the farthest end of the property. The County has the necessary funding in place to extend the water main beyond the property owner's 350-foot obligation as well as an additional 262 feet. This additional extension is in the best interest of the County and MCU customers to complete the water main extension for the street.
In accordance with Resolution No. 21-R-381 approved by the Board on August 17, 2021, for a Share Agreement, the developer/property owner only pays the pro-rata share of the project based upon MCU’s low bid contactor’s price for the work. The water main extension, as designed, will create a benefit for 13 additional parcels along the route of the water main extension.
