Therefore, City will now be responsible for providing city services to this area, including water for fire protection and domestic use. 411 WHEREAS, the Government is embarking on an expansion program at Northern California Service Center (NCSC) in cooperation with the California Department of Forestry which will increase the demand for water for domestic use and fire pYotection. WHEREAS, the City plans to provide an adequate supply of water to the airport area by an intertie of its airport system to the existing municipal system now serving the Enterprise area of the City (hereinafter called the "Airport Intertie System") .

WHEREAS, the City has water supplies available in the Enterprise system to provide water services to the Government. However, the proposed Airport Intertie System and the water mains'are required for the water services.

Water service may be refused or discontinued to any premises where apparatus or appliances are in use which will endanger the service to other customers, or damage the city's water system. B. Water service may be refused or, discontinued to any premises where there exists a cross-connection in violation of state or federal law. C. Water service may be discontinued if necessary to protect the city against fraud practiced by the customer. D. Customers desiring to discontinue service should notify the finance department two days prior to vacating the premises. Unless discontinuance of service is ordered, the customer shall be liable for charges whether or not any water is used. (Ord. 1453 § 1 (part), 1979.) 14.08.110 Water meters and meter boxes. All water meters and meter boxes installed by the city shall remain the property of the city, and where replacements, repairs or adjustments of any meter are rendered necessary by the act, negligence or carelessness of the consumer, any expense caused the city thereby shall be charged against, and collected from, the consumer. If the consumer or owner fails to pay the charges, the water may be shut off until the charges are paid. Each separate pipe connection in any meter box shall be separately metered. (Ord. 1453 § I (part), 1979.) 14.08.120 Curb cocks. There shall be a curb cock or valve in every attachment just inside the curb, at a point to be designated by the city, which curb cock and its box shall be supplied by the city and shall be for the city's exclusive use and under its exclusive control. (Ord. 1453 § I (part), 1979.) 14.08.130 Extension of mains. Applicants for service beyond the limits of the existing water system may secure service providing they comply with the following provisions: (Redding 8-20-79) 456 • • i WATER A. A request shall be filed with the city engineer indicating the property proposed to be served and the use to be made thereof. The engineer shall analyze the request in respect to the city master water plan, and engineering factors related to the site and the city's existing system. B. The general policy concerning the assignment of construction cost for such service shall be as follows: 1. All water Iines required for the orderly development of the applicant's property shall be constructed at the applicant's cost. 2. Where the city's master water plan requires a water line to be constructed greater in size than required for applicant's development, the city-shall assume the cost of oversizing the water line to satisfy the master water plan. 3. All in-tract construction in new subdivisions shall extend to the limits of the property and shall include all looping and other supplementary lines that are necessary in order that future contiguous subdivisions can connect directly onto such subdivisions, thus providing for the orderly development of the system. 4. If any additional construction is necessary to extend lines from existing mains to the applicant's property or subdivision, it shall be constructed at applicant's cost, unless the city council authorizes extension of such main at city expense because of special circumstances such as (a) size and nature of future service area, (b) distance from existing main, (c) conformance to master water plan. C. If a service connection is made directly into a main which has been constructed after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section, and which has not been constructed and financed through an assessment district or through any other means in which the applicant has a vested interest, there shall be paid by the applicant a front foot construction charge of ten dollars per foot of street frontage of the subject lot, or where a logical divisible portion of a large lot or acreage is being applied for, a similar fee shall be paid computed on the front footage of such portion; provided, that corner lots shall be computed on the basis of 457 (Redding B-20-79) • • UTILITIES the sum of the front footages less one hundred feet subject to a minimum charge of five hundred ten dollars for any one building site. The front foot construction charge shall be in addition to any other charge prescribed in this chapter. D. Funds or money collected for installing service connections, water connection fees, and the front foot construction charge shall be deposited into the water fund of the city. E. When it is necessary for the city to make an expenditure, the following interests of the city shall be considered: 1. Will it improve service in respect to water quality, pressure, reliability of service and adequacy of water for fire protection;or 2. Will the investment prove to be a financial benefit to the water department operation;or 3. Is the investment a justifiable social or indirect economic benefit of the city; and 4. Does the investment benefit the city in contrast to the individual? F. The provisions set forth in subsection E shall not prohibit the city council from approving or disapproving applications or making expenditures for other water line construction. Neither do these provisions apply to the replacement of old or undersized lines within the existing system. G. Where a parcel of real property fronts upon a substandard main less than six inches in diameter, in which the property owner or his predecessor in interest has a vested interest, he shall pay a front foot construction charge at the established rate as provided by resolution under subsection C, minus a percentage credit in the same ratio as the diameter of the substandard main bears to the diameter of a six-inch water pipe. Where a parcel of real property requesting connection fronts on a substandard main in which it has no vested interest, it shall be charged the established front footage construction charge in effect at the time of application. It is the stated intention of the city to replace the substandard main as soon as economically practicable, and in the event that such replacement is accomplished by means of an assessment district, those who have been charged a front footage construction charge in accordance with the (Redding 8-20-79) 458 • • WATER provisions of this subsection shall not be assessed any additional sum in any subsequent assessment district proceedings for the replacement of the substandard main with one of adequate size. (Ord. 1453 § 1 (part), 1979.) 14.08.140 Number of services for each premises. • The applicant for water service may apply for as many services as may be reasonably required for his premises; provided, that the pipe line system from each service shall be independent of the others and that they not be interconnected. (Ord. 1453 § 1 (part), 1979.) 14.08.150 Control valves. The customer shall have a valve on his side of the service installation to control the flow of water to the piping on his premises. The customer shall not use the service curb stop to turn water on and off to his premises. (Ord. 1453 § 1 (part), 1979.) 14.08.160 Cross-connections. The customer must comply with state and federal laws governing the separation of dual water systems or installations of back-flow protective devices to protect the public water supply from the danger of cross-connections. Plans for installations of back-flow protective devices must also be approved by the water division prior to installation. Back-flow protective devices must be installed as near the service as possible and shall be open to test and inspection by the water division. (Ord. 1453 § 1 (part), 1979.) 14.08.170 Service interruption. The city shall not be liable for damage which may result from an interruption in service from a cause beyond the control of the city. In addition, as a condition precedent to service, the city reserves the, right to make temporary shutdowns without • 459 (Redding S-20-79) • • Addendum No. 4 CITY OF REDDING WATER RATE SCHEDULE RESOLUTION NO. 77-446 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING ESTABLISHING WATER UTILITY RATES FO^ SERVICE TO CUSTOMERS WITHIN THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF REDDING.
