§ 13.12.110. Installation and connection fees.
A.
Before the water department will install a new service and meter, the applicant for water service shall pay to the water department installation, connection and service fees as established by resolution of the city council. The council may classify such fees upon the basis of size of the meter used. If installation costs exceed the minimum established by resolution of the council, then in lieu thereof the applicant shall be required to pay the actual installation costs plus 15 percent.
B.
The charges provided for in this section shall be made on all installations within the city. On all installations outside the city, the charges shall be an additional 50 percent above what the charge would have been within the city.
C.
On all new water meter installations a gate valve shall be installed on the customer's side of the meter, the cost of the same to be included in the above mentioned charges.
D.
When a new meter and service are installed under this section, meter service charges shall be made from the date of installation, regardless of whether any water is used.
E.
Where multiple installation of service is to be made, as by a subdivider, charges for installation of services and meters may be reduced or waived to the extent that the subdivider or user furnishes meters, materials or labor. Such revised or waived charges shall be set by the director of public works and the city manager, subject to the approval of the city council.
F.
Meters other than those furnished by the city shall be approved by the director of public works before installation thereof.
