13.56.110 Extension of water mains outside the city limits.
A. The superintendent of the water department may approve a request to extend the water main beyond the city limits; provided, that the supply to the proposed area is adequate to satisfy the anticipated demand without adversely affecting the supply to those customers tapped into the existing main. Any such proposal to extend the water main outside the city limits on a permanent basis shall be submitted to the boundary review board as provided in RCW 36.93.090.
B. Main extensions must conform to the "Standard Specifications for Municipal Public Works Construction" as adopted by the city of Aberdeen. The superintendent may require that a plan and profile of the proposed main extension be prepared by a licensed engineer.
C. The city shall have the option of installing said main extension with city personnel and charging the applicant for the expense of labor, equipment, materials and overhead, contracting for the installation with the payment for the installation to be made or reimbursed by the applicant, or permitting the applicant to have the main extended, pursuant to approved plans, by a competent contractor at the applicant's expense. If the extension is installed by a contractor, the applicant shall reimburse the city for the cost of an inspector from the water department performing such main installation inspections as deemed necessary by the superintendent.
D. The superintendent of the water department is authorized to contract with the applicant or others bearing the cost of a main extension to provide for a means of recovering a portion of the costs of the main extension by means of a late-comer charge to abutting property owners who did not share in the costs of installation but who wish to connect into the service within ten years following installation of the water main. Any such contract shall be recorded in the office of the Grays Harbor County Auditor.
