A. The initial service connection installation cost for customers within the city limits for a fixed rate service, a three fourths-inch, a one-inch and a two-inch metered service shall be as established by the current water service rate ordinance or resolution, plus any charge applicable to the property or the connection as a consequence of any latecomer agreement or system connection charges as established by ordinance or resolution.

B. Metered service connections within the city limits which are larger than two inches in diameter and all metered service connections outside the city limits shall be installed at the actual cost of making the installation, plus any other applicable charges.

C. Before work is commenced on any service connection, the applicant shall pay to the utilities division the amount required for a fixed rate service connection or a three fourths-inch, a one-inch or a two-inch metered service connection, whichever is applicable to the particular connection as determined by the utilities division, plus any aforesaid charges applicable to the property or connection.

D. In the case of an applicant requesting a service larger than two inches within the city limits or a service of any size outside the city limits, the applicant shall pay to the utilities division, before work is commenced on the service, the amount equal to the estimated cost, as determined by the utilities division for the installation of the service, including any aforesaid charges applicable to the property. The work shall then be performed by the utilities division, which shall maintain a record of the actual costs of all labor, material and equipment rental required to complete the work. Upon completion of the installation, if the amount paid to the utilities division by the applicant is not sufficient to pay for the cost of doing the work, the applicant shall pay the difference between the actual cost and the amount of the estimate previously paid to the utilities division. If the actual cost for making the installation is less than the estimate previously paid, the utilities division shall refund the difference to the applicant. (Ord. 1237-86 § 13, 1986.)
