contributor shall calculate demand of 350 gallons of water per day per -
single family residence, that capacity will be '.uilt or reserved for the
contributor. Utility will not be obligated to provide capacity or service
in excess of that allocation and may require consumers to curtail use which
exceeds such allocated capacity.
In those areas where the experience of Utility has demonstrated that the
demand characteristics of customers of the community exceed those daily
rated gallons of demand set forth in Exhibit A, Utility shall require that
the contributor pay those fees and make the necessary commitments Leased on
the actual and experienced demand, and not the average demand. Thus, when
Utility shall demonstrate to the developer that its records and experience
show, for example, that a single-family residence of the type which the
contributor proposes to build in the specific community places demand
during certain times of the year equal to 600 gallons of water per day,
then the charges per gallons demand set forth in Paragraph 3.0 of this
Policy shall be multiplied by 600 gallons. In no event shall Utility be
required to build or accept plans, specifications, fees, charges or
agreements predicated upon demand for water service of less than 215
gallons per single-family residential equivalent or sewer service or less
than 200 gallons per residential equivalent per day. (25-10.121(13, F.A.C.)
7.0 WATER SERVICE ONLY - SEWER SERVICE ONLY
In any instance where either water or sewer service only is furnished
without the companion service, then the connection (plant capacity) charge
shall be computed for that service only.

Utility shall not be required to accept title to any com-
ponent part of the water distribution or sewage collection
System until Utility's engineer has approved the construc-
tion of said lines, accepted the tests to determine that
such construction is in accordance with the criteria
established by Utility, and thereafter evidenced its accep-
tance of such lines for Utility's ownership, operation, and
maintenance.
Contributor shall maintain accurate cost records estab-
lishing the construction costs of all utility facilities
constructed by contributor. Such cost information shall be
furnished to Utility concurrently with the bill of sale,
and such cost information shall be a prereauisite for the
acceptance by Utility of the portion of the water distribu-
tion and sewage collection system constructed by the con-
tributor.
Utility reserves the right to refuse connection and to deny
the commencement of service to any contributor seeking to
be connected to portions of the water distributeion and
sewage collection system until such time as the provisions
of this section have been fully met.
With respect to a development which constitutes a "single
unit" such as a mobile home park, a shopping center, or
apartment complex, Utility's obligation for service and
maintenance of lines and facilities located whollyWithinsuch developments, and not in public rights of way', shall
extend solely to repair and/or replacement of the lines or
facilities, and Utility will not be liable in any manner
for damages, replacement or repairs to surface areas.
11.0 INSPECTION FEES.'
Any engineering plans or designs for, or construction of
facilities by a contributor (developer) which are to be-
come a part of Utility's system, will be subject to review
and inspection by Utility. For this service, Utility may
charge an inspection fee based upon the actual cost to
Utility of inspection of facilities constructed by contribu-
tors or independent contractors for connection with the
facilities of Utility. Such inspection bee shall be laid
by the contributor in addition to all other char;es above
stated, as a condition precedent to service.

12.0 INSPECTION OF PLUMBER'S HOOK-UP
It shall be the responsibility of the contributor or its plumbing
contractor to connect contributor's plumbing installation with the
water or sewer system. Utility reserves the right to inspect all
such connections to be assured that the same are properly made in
accordance with Utility's rules governing such connections, and
that the connection, as made, is free from infiltration.
The contributor shall notify Utility of any proposed
interconnection with the facilities of Utility, and connection
may be made without the presence of Utility's inspector. However,
such connection shall remain open until inspection by Utility and
until notice of the approval of such connection is furnished to
the developer in accordance with the practices and procedures of
Utility. Any connection covered without the benefit of inspection
will result in the contributor being required to reopen the
connection for subsequent inspection. If Utility fails to inspect
the connection within 48 hours after notice that the same is ready
to inspect, the connection shall be deemed approved by Utility.
13.0 ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS
Governmental Authority: The charges set forth in this Policy are
subject to adjustment by appropriate action of the governmental
agency having jurisdiction of this Policy, either upon the
initiative of the governmental agency or by request of Utility.
(25-10.141, F.A.C.)
14.0 PRIOR POLICY
Prior to the adoption of this Policy, Utility had established
other policies which will remain in effect until the obligations
pursuant to those policies have been fulfilled. Under those
policies, Utility is committed to provide water service to
approximately 270 lots and to provide sewer service to approxi-
mately 270 lots upon payment of a charge which may be less than
the charges established in this Policy. The difference between
the charges actually collected for lots subject to those prior
policies and the amount which would have been charged under this
Policy is borne by Utility as an investment. The amount so
invested by utility for connections made on and after the effec-
tive date of this Policy may be treated for ratemaking purposes as
a contribution in aid of construction rather than as an investment
by Utility. These commitments by Utility were based upon con-
tracts made in the past and are not available to

15.0 EXTENSION OUTSIDE TERRITORY
Providing service outside Utility's territory involves formal notice
and formal proceedings before the Indian River County Commission and,
therefore, entails engineering, administrative and legal expenses in
addition to costs incurred by Utility in providing service within its
territory. Utility will, therefore, not be obligated to provide its
services outside the territory unless the contributor agrees, in
advance, to defray those additional expenses and pay to Utility the
estimated costs thereof. The advance payment will be adjusted to
conform with actual expenses after the proceedings have been
concluded. Utility will further make such extensions outside the
territory only if the net income to be derived from prospective
consumers within the area to be served by the proposed extension will
provide a fair return on Utility's investment in the proposed
extension, transmission, and treatment facilities involved. Utility
will not extend its facilities under circumstances where the
extensions will cause service to existing customers to suffer either
as a result of reduction of capacity to provide its service to
customers, or the diminishment of the economic capability of Utility
to meet its financial commitments. (See Section 367.061; 367.121(2),
Florida Statutes)
16.0 DISTRIBUTION AND COLLECTION SYSTEMS CONSTRUCTION
If any on-site distribution and collection systems are constructed by
the contributor as set forth in Paragraph 10.0 herein, Utility shall
establish specifications based upon good engineering and public
utility practices, and the contributor shall not less than thirty (30)
days prior to commencing construction, furnish Utility with a complete
copy of the plans and specifications of the proposed on-site
collection and distribution system. Utility shall have twenty (20)
days in which to determine the acceptability of the plans and
specifications furnished to it by the contributor. If the Utility
shall object to the plans and specifications or any part thereof, the
contributor shall defer the commencement of construction pending_ the
resolution of Utility's objections. (25-10.127, F.A.C.)

charges based upon the anticipated hydraulic load require-
ments of the undeveloped property in order that such off-
site facilities may be constructed to serve the developer's
property and be in accordance with Utility's :Waster plan
for service to the immediate surrounding area. Charges
paid by the contributor over and above the contributor's
hydraulic share of the off-site=acilities, shall be re-
funded to the developer in accordance with the terms and
conditions of a refunding agreement ,rhich Utility will
execute with the contributor. The refund agreement wili
provide for a plan of refund based upon connection o -
other properties to the extent of their hydraulic share
with other properties that .rill be served by the off-sita
facilities and styled at the expense of the contributor.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, Utility may
limit the life of the refund agreement to a term of at
least seven years, after which time a portion of the re-
fund not made to the contributor by the terms and condi-
tions of the refund agreement will be retained by Utility,
and such refund agreement will be cancelled. In no event
shall a contributor recover an amount greater than the -
ference between the capitalized cost of such or: -Site -+
improvements and the developer's own hydraulic share of
such improvement. Utility will not include any interest
upon the refund of the developer's advance.
