A. The petitioner shall contract with a contractor to install the main extension as approved by the department of public works. The contractor shall be licensed to perform the construction.

B. The department of public works shall inspect the installation of the water main to ensure compliance with the specifications. The charges for such inspection, including administrative and overhead charges, shall be withdrawn from the construction inspection fee deposited with the finance director. At such time as the director of public works determines the remaining funds are not adequate to provide necessary inspection for the project, the petitioner shall be notified and an estimate of additional inspection fees required will be provided. The additional fees shall be deposited with the finance director prior to depletion of the funds on deposit. The city reserves the right to reject any installation not inspected and approved by the department of public works. Any moneys unexpended from the inspection fee upon completion of the project shall be returned to the petitioner.

C. Upon satisfactory completion of all required tests and acceptance of the main extension, the department of public works shall cause the extension to be connected to the city system. All costs incurred in the connection, including overhead and administrative charges, shall be paid by the petitioner. Any adjustment of the actual cost of installation because of variance between the estimate and the actual cost shall be refunded upon completion of the job to the petitioner, or by payment by the petitioner to the city of any additional expense above the estimate.

D. When a main extension is to service a new single-family residential area, individual services shall be installed by the developer to supply each proposed building site. These services shall be installed to city standards. All fees and charges for installation of the services shall be paid at the time a plumbing permit is obtained.

E. All extensions of water mains shall be subject to the payment of a hydrant fee as required by this chapter. Whenever the installation of a hydrant is required by the director of public works during the course of a water main extension, the established value thereof may be applied to reduce any hydrant fees due for that extension. [Ord. 8982 § 22, 1981].
