(7) The extension must be made in a public utility easement. If the easement is not in place, it will be the applicant's responsibility to acquire it on behalf of the city. (b) For wastewater extensions, the following requirements apply in addition to the requirements of subsection (a): (1) The depth must be sufficient to develop the City's wastewater system in conformance with the city's construction design and materials standards and the provisions of the city master plan. (2) Any lift station required will be financed as follows: (A) The developer must pay the total cost for a system of sufficient capacity for the applicant's proposed use. (B) If the City determines that additional capacity is necessary, the city will pay the difference between the engineer's approved estimate of the cost to install a system sufficient for the applicant's proposed use and the actual cost of the system required by the City. (3) Manholes, cleanouts and similar appurtenances beyond the first 100 feet will be the responsibility of the applicant. (c) Requests for line extensions to serve uses located outside the city limits must be accompanied by a written request for annexation if the use is on property that is contiguous to the city. If the property is not contiguous to the city, the applicant must submit a written statement that the applicant requests annexation when and if the property becomes contiguous to the city limits. In either case, the city council will decide whether the extension will be approved on a case-by-case basis. (d) Extensions of the city wastewater system will be made only if the customer is purchasing city water. (e) Any necessary boring for line extensions will be at the applicant's expense. (f) Requests for extensions will be considered in order of the submission of the requests. Requests will be granted only when budgeted funds are available for the city's portion of the cost of the extensions. If city funding is not available, the applicant may proceed to construct the extension at the applicant's sole expense. Sec. 86.004.
