Water Availability Charge. The District is authorized to impose impact fees pursuant to the Impact Fee Act and shall impose the Water Availability Charges on development activity pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the Impact Fee Act. In order to obtain the availability and use of the Capital Facilities developed and operated pursuant to this Agreement and other benefits contemplated by this Agreement, each Municipal Customer agrees that it will cooperate with and assist the District in collecting the District’s Water Availability Charges in connection with the approval of development activity within the Municipal Customer’s jurisdiction as provided in Section 8.7.1. To that end, each Municipal Customer agrees that it will not approve any development activity (including, but not limited to, final plat approval) or issue any building permit until the applicable charge has been paid to the District or to the related Municipal Customer for the account of the District. Subject to the requirements of the Impact Fee Act, the Water Availability Charge shall be separately determined for connections of different types and on such basis as will, in the District’s judgment, equitably apportion the Capital Costs as set forth in the CFP. In establishing the Water Availability Charge, the District may consider meter size, residential equivalents and such other characteristics as the District may determine to achieve an equitable allocation of costs. The District shall provide alternative mechanisms for paying the Water Availability Charges in connection with subdivision plat and related approvals as follows:
Water Availability Charge. The Company collects $8.16 per lot of land every calendar year quarter as an availability charge. This charge is applicable where the Company has a water main located adjacent to a lot or lots in Peaceful Valley Lake Estates Subdivision and the property owner is subject to a contract agreement with the Company. T his agreement states that the property owner will pay to the Company an availability charge until the water service line is actually connected to the property. A t the time the service line is connected, the quarterly customer service charge as reflected in the Company’s tariff will apply. Therefore, each lot owned in the subdivision, but not currently connected to the water system, is required to pay the $8.16 quarterly rate. In addition, there are several homes in the service area where the owner purchased one or more adjoining lot(s). In such instances, the owner may contact the Property Owner’s Association and request that their lots be combined; however, they can only combine two lots for purposes of eliminating the water availability charge. In this situation, the customer will only pay for water and sewer service and not pay for an availability charge. As of the end of Staff review, there were a total of 431 active water availability customers that the Company will charge $8.16 every quarter. A s it has done in the Company’s past rate cases, Staff included these availability charges in its revenue requirement calculations, which represented $14,067 of the annual ongoing water revenues for the Company. MISCELLANEOUS REVENUES In addition to annualized customer revenues, the Staff included in its cost of service calculation other miscellaneous revenues related to the following items: Three Rivers Electric Cooperative reimbursement, Capital One credit card cash back rewards, interest income earned in the Company’s money market account, checking account, and Certificate of Deposit (CD), late fees, sewer inspection fees, customer request turn ons/offs, non-payment water disconnect/reconnection, and returned check fees.
Water Availability Charge. The Developer shall pay a watermain availability charge(s) (“WAC”) for the service connection(s) through which water will be supplied from the City’s centralized water system for both Developer’s industrial use and for Developer’s domestic human use on the Development Property. The SAC shall be imposed and calculated based on the size of the water meter(s) pursuant to the table of charges established in City Council Resolution No 18- 85, which is attached hereto as Exhibit I and incorporated herein by reference. The Developer shall pay the above sanitary sewer and water availability charges at the time of building permit application, and a building permit shall not be issued by the City until such charges are paid in full.
Water Availability Charge. The Owner will pay the City of Brooklyn Center’s Water Availability Charge (WAC).
