"Section 10. Installation and Connection Charges
Inside City Limits. Any property owner within the City limits
applying for new water service shall pay a service, material and
connection charge. This charge will include the cost of connec-
tion and laying of pipe from the City water main to the property
line of the property to which service is desired, or at a distance
of sixty (60) feet from the main toward such property line, which-
ever is shorter. The minimum charge so established is as follows:
$125 for each 5/8 x 3/4" connection
$150 for each 3/4" connection
$175 for each 1" connection
$360 for each 1-1/2" connection
$500 for each 2" connection
On any connection over two (2) inches, the minimum
charge shall be the actual cost of the meter and installation,
plus twenty-five percent.
In the event an undersized meter is installed, deduc-
tion will be allowed from the above charges which will reflect
the difference in cost between the undersized meter and the reg-
ular size meter. All service material (including water meter)
will remain the property of the City. If the tap is changed to
one of larger size, the cost and expense of such change must be
paid before the larger size tap is installed. If it becomes
necessary during the installation of said connection on a time
and material basis to break and replace either concrete or black-
top paving, then in each such instance an additional charge shall
be made to cover the cost of such repair."
