Water Code--Water service Connections Sec. 87.14. Charges for street service connections and fire services. Table I: Increase charges for 1-inch street service connections installations by 5% in 2002 and 5% in 2003. Increases in the schedule chazges are recommended to better reflect the cost of installation. Staff is recommending an increase of 5% for 2002 and 5% for 2003, bringing the chazge for a typical installation in 2003 to $1655. This compares favorably to the $1,885 average charge for plumbers to replace lead water service connections in private property. Special Provisions: Staff also recommends a 10% increase in the tap, valve and box schedule charges, wluch have not been increased since 1998. Sec. 87.15. Additional costs; street repair and extraordinary excuvution charges. The proposed language changes in 87.15 (3) are necessary for the section to be consistent with revisions made elsewhere in the Code in 1999. Table II: Increase the street repair schedule charges for 1-inch street service connections by 18% - 2�%. Increases in the schedule chazges are recommended to better reflect the cost of the wark. The typical restoration for a 1-inch street service connection involves repairing two excauations; one in the street and one in the boulevard. The restoration of these excavations frequently includes repairs to concrete curb, driveway aprons and sidewalks. In addition, winter excavations require a temporary patch which must be removed and replaced with permanent in the spring. The current restoration charge of $340 for a typical 1-inch street service connecrion is $1601ess tk�an the averaged costs for providing this work. N:�BTSCF3IDA\CODE�2001\Summary_CiTy.wpd O� -t►`[}- TABLE II: (continued) Recent history of 1-inch street service connection street restoration chazges: 1981 $225 Raised 16% in 1985 to $260 15% in 1998 to $300 10% in 2000 to $330 Current 3% in 2000 to $340 51°/a greater than 1981 chazges 93% increase in CPI during same period Proposed 18%-20% in 20U2 to $4�� Increase the frost charge for 1-inch street service connections installations by 30%. Increases in the schedule chazges are recommended to better reflect the cost ofperforming work in frozen ground. A frost charge is collected for service installations paid for after the first week in October and until April the following year, but is refunded if less than one foot of frost is encountered during the installation. Besides the increased costs resulting from breaking through frozen ground in two excavations, it takes longer to perform all aspects of the installation during the winter months. Street and boulevard restoration is especially expensive in the coldest part of winter, when frost is usually encountered. Although less than five 1-inch street service connections are usually installed in frost each year, the average total cost of their installation is over $1,200 more than is collected in charges. Sec. 87.16. Cut offcharges. Require property owners to pay for cut off of existing water service connections in two specific situations. The replacement of existing water services in the two situarions listed below requires an additional excavation in order to cut offthe existing service. The proposed language requires that the properiy owner pay for that excavation and cut off. 1. If a properiy owner requests replacement of an existing lead connection in a location more than 3 feet from the existing; and 2. If a property owner requests replacement of a 3-inch or larger connection serving an existing building. N:�BTSCHIDA\CODE�2001\Summary_CiTy.wpd Chapter 91. Water Code—Miscellaneous Provisions Sec. 91.13. Turn-on service charge. Raise water service turn-on charge 25%, from $20 to $25. 6� .�11Y An increase in the charge is recommended to better reflect the cost of performing the work. The proposed 2002 budget reflects a 25% increase in riun-on chazges collected. There is no chazge far the initial turn on of a new water service. When water has been shut off for non-payment of charges due, or any infraction of rules, or upon the request of the owner, a tum-on chazge must be paid before water can be turned on. The charge was last raised in 1995 from $10 to $20. Chapter 92. Water Code—Plumbing Sec. 92.06. Permitfees; penalty Increase fees to produce a typical increase o£ 5% or less. Increases in fees chazged far plumbing permits are recommended to better reflect the cost of performing inspections. The proposed 2002 budget reflects a 5% increase in plumbing permit fees collected.

Table I: Increase charges for 1-inch street service connections installations by 5% in 2002 and 5% in 2003. Increases in the schedule chazges are recommended to better reflect the cost of installation. Staff is recommending an increase of 5% for 2002 and 5% for 2003, bringing the chazge for a typical installation in 2003 to $1655. This compares favorably to the $1,885 average charge for plumbers to replace lead water service connections in private property. Special Provisions: Staff also recommends a 10% increase in the tap, valve and box schedule charges, wluch have not been increased since 1998. Sec. 87.15. Additional costs; street repair and extraordinary excuvution charges. The proposed language changes in 87.15 (3) are necessary for the section to be consistent with revisions made elsewhere in the Code in 1999. Table II: Increase the street repair schedule charges for 1-inch street service connections by 18% - 2�%. Increases in the schedule chazges are recommended to better reflect the cost of the wark. The typical restoration for a 1-inch street service connection involves repairing two excauations; one in the street and one in the boulevard. The restoration of these excavations frequently includes repairs to concrete curb, driveway aprons and sidewalks. In addition, winter excavations require a temporary patch which must be removed and replaced with permanent in the spring. The current restoration charge of $340 for a typical 1-inch street service connecrion is $1601ess tk�an the averaged costs for providing this work.

Increases in the schedule chazges are recommended to better reflect the cost ofperforming work in frozen ground. A frost charge is collected for service installations paid for after the first week in October and until April the following year, but is refunded if less than one foot of frost is encountered during the installation. Besides the increased costs resulting from breaking through frozen ground in two excavations, it takes longer to perform all aspects of the installation during the winter months. Street and boulevard restoration is especially expensive in the coldest part of winter, when frost is usually encountered. Although less than five 1-inch street service connections are usually installed in frost each year, the average total cost of their installation is over $1,200 more than is collected in charges. Sec. 87.16. Cut offcharges. Require property owners to pay for cut off of existing water service connections in two specific situations. The replacement of existing water services in the two situarions listed below requires an additional excavation in order to cut offthe existing service. The proposed language requires that the properiy owner pay for that excavation and cut off. 1. If a properiy owner requests replacement of an existing lead connection in a location more than 3 feet from the existing; and 2.
