Sub'ect: Ordinance No. 146-01 An Ordinance Re uirin Connect- ion Into The Public Water S stem
q g Y
Date: November 28, 2001
Initiated by: Marsha I. Grigsby, Director of Finance
When the Ordinance, Ordinance No. 40-01, authorizing the execution of the contract for the
construction of sewer and/or water lines in the Dublin Manor subdivision, Hanna Hills Drive,
MacBeth Drive, MacDuff Way, and MacDuff Place was passed, City Council directed staff to
prepare an ordinance to require the property owners to connect into the public water system. City
Council further directed staff to take into consideration extraordinary circumstances which would
warrant a delay in requiring an individual property owner to connect into the public water system.
The City currently requires property owners to connect into the public sanitary sewer system when
the public system is within 100 feet or 30.5 meters of the property line. A copy of the code section
related to Public Sewer Use from the City's Codified Ordinances is attached for reference.
Ordinance No. 146-01 is written to require connection to the system when the City, through use of
City revenues, constructs the water line(s) extending service. As stated during discussion on
Ordinance No. 40-01, it would not make sense for the City to make the investment in constructing
the water line(s) if residents do not connect to the public system. The sewer and water lines that are
being constructed were done so based on petitions submitted by the property owners in these areas
and the fact that health and safety concerns had been expressed by the property owners.
This Ordinance was not written to require property owners to connect to the water system where the
water lines are installed at the cost of developers or property owners.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Marsha.
