Common use of Oversizing of Mains Clause in Contracts

Oversizing of Mains. The subdivider shall be responsible for installation of water and sewer mains of up to and including eight inches in diameter and cover depths up to and including 12 feet and of mains of greater diameter and depths if necessary solely to serve the subdivision. When, in the opinion of the Village Engineer, mains of diameter greater than eight inches or mains at cover depth greater than 12 feet are necessary solely to service areas outside the subdivision and outside the Village limits, these larger mains or greater than normal depth mains shall be constructed at the subdivider’s expense. The Village Engineer shall then establish a benefited area, and the subdivider shall, for a period of 20 years thereafter, have a right of recoupment for the excess size or depth by means of annexation charges which the Village shall establish for the benefited areas. Such annexation charges shall include no interest or inflation component and shall reflect the age of the improvements and their remaining useful life. If the areas which require the greater than normal diameter or depth mains are outside the subdivision but are already within the Village limits, the subdivider shall have the option of installing such greater than normal diameter and/or depth mains at its own expense, without recoupment, or of petitioning the Village to install such mains under its statutory assessment powers.
