ESTABLISHING REVISED WATER AND SANITARY
SEWER AREA AND CONNECTION CHARGES
WHEREAS, the City has responsibility for installation and/or payment for the
installation of sanitary sewer interceptors, sanitary sewer trunk mains, lift stations, water
trunk mains, wells, water treatment plants, and water storage facilities for the benefit of
