§ 13.04.055. Petition for non-existing water and sewer line services.

A.

A property owner and/or developer who plans or wishes to construct a residential dwelling and/or development on a developable lot which has public frontage but lacks public water and sewer service shall petition the City of Metter with a formal, written letter addressed to the city manager.

B.

The city manager and staff shall review the petition and determine whether said petition shall be approved or denied based upon numerous factors, including but not limited to the following: (1) the priority of the water and/or sewer line extension, (2) the total cost of the project, and (3) the cost-benefit analysis of implementing the new extension. If the city manager approves the extension, he will authorize the engineering and design of the water and/or sewer line and the formal submittal of plans to the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) for review, approval, and permitting, if necessary. If the city manager denies the proposed extension, the property owner and/or developer can request the city manager to forward this request to the mayor and city council for reconsideration.
