DEPARTMENT: |
Tony Cunningham, P.E., Director |

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), which results in installing 143 feet of water main across the parcel’s frontage. MCU’s $700 fee covers only the design of the water main extension, as the property owner is using their own underground utility contractor to complete the work. There are no benefitting parcels improved as a result of this work. The total project cost is $19,626.02, which includes the $700 design fee.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Neutral; project cost is $700. Funding is from ZF448536-563102 with project code UTC000094.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Motion to approve and authorize the Chairman and Clerk to execute the Water Main Extension Connection Agreement.
