§ 82-261. Connection charge schedule.

(a)

For residential customers using a standard three-quarter inch service pipe and a five-eighths inch meter, the connection fee shall be $3,000.00. Connection fees for meters larger than five-eighths inch shall be in accordance with subsection (b) of this section.

(b)

Connection fees for customers requiring eight-inch or smaller meters shall be based upon the installed meter size according to the following schedule:

Meter Size	Connection Fee
5/8 ″	$3,000.00
¾″	3,000.00
1″	11,230.00
1½″	23,420.00
2″	38,670.00
3″	80,840.00
4″	133,610.00
6″	259,930.00
8″	399,630.00

 

Connection fees for customers requiring larger than eight-inch meters shall be determined on a case by case basis and established by contract, but in no case shall be less than the capacity fee for an eight-inch meter.

For meter sizes eight-inch and smaller, if an existing customer desires to redevelop and replace an existing meter with a single or multiple meters, the value of the connection fee associated with the existing meter shall be determined based on the fee schedule above and credited for use on the property. For customers with meters larger than eight inches, the property will be credited the value of a eight-inch meter connection fee unless documentation of payment of a greater connection fee is provided, in which case the connection fee credited shall be the actual amount paid. Once a connection fee has been credited to a property, the amount of the credit is fixed and available for use on the property. Refunds shall not be made for any unutilized amount.
