ARTICLE V. PUBLIC WATER CONNECTIONS AND CONNECTION FEES

Section 22-100. Reduction in fees due to construction by developer.

When facilities of the county are constructed by developers pursuant to section 22-88(b) of this chapter, the following reductions to total initial connection fees shall apply:

(a) When all local facilities are constructed by the developer, the developer shall receive a reduction in the total connection fee equal to the total local facilities charge component which would otherwise be due.

(b) When a developer constructs facilities to a premises and the construction includes system facilities, in addition to any reductions under paragraph (a) of this section, the developer shall receive a reduction in the system facility connection fee component, which would otherwise be due, equal to the estimated cost increase for construction of system facilities required by the county based on current charges, as set forth in section 22-90(c)(2) of this chapter. Reductions under this subsection may be prorated among all connections in the development or the developer may apply them to the first fees due, whichever is provided for in the agreement executed pursuant to section 22-88(b).

(c) Total reductions in connection fees under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this section shall not exceed the total connection fee due.

(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to reduce in any way the connection charge imposed by section 22-90(c)(3) for the connection of premises located outside of primary service areas.
