NN.-IMMMMEM MWOUT11513weall_ <br />UTILITIES DIRECTOR GEORGE LINER CAME BEFORE THE BOARD TO <br />REVIEW HIS PROPOSED PRIORITY SYSTEM FOR CONNECTIONS TO THE COUNTY <br />WATER SYSTEM AS SET OUT IN THE FOLLOWING MEMO: <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Neil Nelson, County Administrator <br />FROM: George Liner, Utilities Director <br />SUBJECT: Proposed Priority System for Connections to County Water System. <br />DATE: October 15, 1980 <br />From now until the initial rush of connections are satisfied, there <br />will be a problem determining who should have a connection and when can <br />it be made. The following proposal is offered for consideration as to a <br />logical plan which requires a minimum of confusion or judicious decisions. <br />The following priority is proposed until the system reaches a design <br />demand of 80% of the maximum capacity of the system. When this point is <br />approached or reached, a limited rate of connection will be imposed while <br />the next phase of growth is completed. To do this, the developer will <br />be.limited with a schedule of units vs. connection date (not to be exceeded) <br />set as part of the service agreement. To be considered for connection the <br />customer must be contiguous to existing water mains. Priority levels <br />will be assigned only after service agreements are fully executed and <br />all applicable fees are paid. <br />The priority for connections to be made to the system should be: <br />1. Where conditions are certified to be an emergency by the Health Depart- <br />ment officials, these cases shall receive top priority; ie. all later <br />priorities will be interrupted for this installation or connection. <br />2. Chronologically according to the following cases. <br />2A. Individual customers applying by signing a service agreement <br />and paying appropriate fees.* <br />2B. Projects that require connection on the County 6th Avenue Force <br />Main and signs agreements complete with fees.* These will be <br />water and sewer customers. This priority will preclude adding <br />"sewer only" customers which should be avoided per Ordinance <br />80-13. <br />2C. Projects that require "water only" service that sign agreements <br />complete with fees.* <br />3. Chronologically (first come, first served) on a request basis - <br />subject to agreement and fees.* <br />79 <br />BOOK 45 PAGE 9 <br />
