At the owner's option, additional water may be dedicated <br />to the City to increase the surcharge base. Revenue from the surcharge goes into the <br />Raw Water Fund. <br /> <br />Water Rights Requirement <br /> <br />Water rights must be permanently transferred to the City when certain zoning des- <br />ignations are requested for annexed land, and/or when final development plat ap- <br />proval is requested. A Cash-in-Lieu of Water Rights Fee may be paid instead of <br />transferring water rights. <br /> <br />Development Tap Charges <br /> <br />Development Tap Charges are paid to the City for connecting a new tap to the <br />water main. New water customers pay for the cost of the water meter and its installa- <br />tion and inspection at the time they get their Building Permit. New customers without <br />existing water service to their lot, must pay for tapping the water main and the corpo- <br />ration stop. The charges reflect the actual cost to the City for labor and materials. For <br />new subdivisions, customers pay the developer for tapping the main and providing <br />the corporation stop. <br /> <br />Expenditures <br /> <br />Operating Costs <br /> <br />Operating costs include costs for operating and maintaining the water distribution <br />system, water treatment plant, general administration and transfers to the General <br />Fund of the City.
