RESOLUTION NO. 2005-154
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
present and fi ture residents: and
WHEREAS, it has been determined by this Council that the most equitable and
reasonable way of financing said improvements is through a combination of area charge
upon land benefited by such improvements, as well as connection charges for specific
uses; and

projected to be sufficient to cover the cost of infrastructure needed to supply future
development;
