This connection charge is determined by multiplying the number of acres in an industrial/ commercial area by 5.5 to determine the total R.E.C. The R.E.C. charge is established by City Council resolution and is updated annually by the E.N.R. Index. Residential Equivalent Connection (tLEC) charges for water service to dwelling units or other structures shall be collected at the current rate prior to the issuance of a building permit. If water connection or REC charges were previously assessed to a parcel or a part of a parcel and such land is developed with a more intensive use than was contemplated at the time connection or REC charges were assessed, additional REC charges shall be calculated upon the approved higher use and payable to the City. WATER LATERAL Water lateral costs are apportioned to the property benefiting from the lateral watermain constructed. Apportioning the cost of the lateral may be done by dividing the costs of the lateral by the assessable front footage of the benefiting properties or by dividing the cost of the lateral constructed within a plat by the number of benfiting R.E.C.s. Where lateral benefit is received from a trunk, the benefiting properties are assessed for~'t~lateral cost similar to the properties served by a lateral. The lateral benefit on trunk cost is then deducted from the trunk costs. WATER SERVICE OR FIRE LINE For each R.E.C. in a residential area, a one inch (1") service line shall be provided to the property line and for each acre of industrial or commercial development, two (2) one inch (1") service lines shall be provided. The cost of the one inch (1") service shall be included with the lateral assessment. Any parcel requesting a fire line or larger service shall be assessed the cost difference on an individual basis.
