§ 110-66. Extensions generally; refunds of pro rata charges.

(a)

(2)

Oversize mains. Upon approval and acceptance of the extensions by the city, the city:

a.

Will refund the difference in cost of standard water and sewer mains and the oversized mains, unless such larger size is required to serve the subdivision in question. Adequate size of such water and sewer mains shall be determined by the city, and its decision will be final; and

b.

Will refund to the original depositor pro rata charges received from future applicants who tie into the mains.

(b)

The period for receiving refunds of pro rata charges for connections to the mains by intervening property owners shall not exceed ten years.
