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) by installing the water main across the parcel’s entire frontage and end the system at the farthest property corner. The County has the necessary funding in place to use the share methodology to interconnect the water mains to “close a loop”, which improves the system hydraulics within the neighborhood.
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 MCU system pays only their share of the project based upon MCU low bid contractor’s price for the work. The water main extension, as designed, will serve a total of 14 parcels along the route.
