Title
Discussion and action on request for outside City Sewer - 1973 Hwy 70 East
Body
SUMMARY: Andy O’Conner is requesting outside City sewer for property located at 1973 Hwy 70 East. There is an existing low pressure line across from the property on Highway 70. When planning staff consulted with the Utility Department, they calculated the cost of crossing Highway 70 East to the property, which will include a bore due to the distance and it being a US/State Highway. The Utility Department is requesting the property owner be responsible for the cost of the bore in addition to the tap fee. The city’s utility ordinance states that outside city limits, the total cost of a mainline extension is to be paid by the property owner. This is more than a standard tap due to the distance and the requirement of a bore. The cost of the bore is $5,850.00 and the outside city commercial tap fee is $2,000.00. Total to be paid by the property owner being: $7,850.00. Planning Commission met November 15 and voted to recommend the approval of outside city sewer with the property owner paying the full cost of the bore and tap fee.
Recommended Action
NECESSARY COUNCIL ACTION: Approve outside city sewer
