Request Approval of Water Main Extension Connection Agreement WME-091-S Between AT20 Assets LLC and Marion County Utilities (Budget Impact - Neutral; expenditure of $75,351)
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 being developed 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 has applied for building permits for two adjacent parcels within the 400’ connection distance of the public water main provided by Marion County Utilities (MCU). The owner is required to install the water main across the entire frontage of both parcels, concluding at the farthest corner of the second property.
Resolution No. 21-R-381 approved by the Board on August 17, 2021, authorizes in certain circumstances to permit MCU to enter into a Share Agreement whereby each parcel connecting to the MCU system is charged for only their share of the total project based upon MCU’s low bid for the work. The County has funding in place to use the share methodology to interconnect the mains and “close the loop,” which improves the system hydraulics within the neighborhood.
