2a. Resolution 4516 - Water FeesREPORT TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jim Hansz, Director of Public Works
N
SUBJECT: Public Hearing, Water Connection Fees
MEETING DATE: November 1, 1999
BACKGROUND: On August 16'h, the City Council authorized a November 1, 1999 public hearing for
amendment of the City water connection fee schedule. At the present time the City water connection fee
schedule includes connection fees to a size of four inches diameter. Any size larger than four inches
diameter is charged the four inch fee. Recent approval of the Waterford development project involved a
connection of twelve inches diameter. The fee charged for this connection was limited to the amount
normally collected for a four inch diameter connection. In order to correct this situation and allow for larger
size taps to the system and the collection of an appropriate fee, the attached Exhibit A was developed to
account for tap sizes from six to twelve inches diameter. It is recommended that taps larger than four
inches diameter be permitted only in extraordinary circumstances which are to be individually reviewed and
recommended by the City Engineer. Further, it is recommended that a tap, exclusive of a dedicated fire
service tap, be limited to a size no larger than one-half the diameter of the serving main except in
extraordinary circumstances which are to be individually reviewed and recommended by the City Engineer.
Resolution 44516 authorizing the recommended change in water fee schedule is attached.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to approve Resolution 4516, amendment of the City water connection
fee schedule, is recommended.
FISCAL EFFECTS: None regarding expenditures. Potential additional future revenues cannot be
estimated.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Council

A RESOLUTION ADOPTING INCREASES IN THE FEES, SCHEDULES, RATES, CHARGES
AND CLASSIFICATIONS IMPOSED ON THE CUSTOMERS OF THE KALISPELL WATER

WHEREAS, the Utility Rate Schedule for the Kalispell Water Utility

capacity of the various meter sizes, and
WHEREAS, currently the City has no Water Connection Fee for water
meter sizes over 4" in diameter, and

impacts on the operation of the water distribution system,

large diameter services upon the Water Utility, it is
appropriate that the City consider establishing fees for 6",
811, 10" and 12" water meter sizes, and
WHEREAS, the City Council did, on the 16th day of August, 1999 set a
public hearing to be held on November 1, 1999 on said
