SEWERS § 21-28 Section 21-28. Payment of costs; construction by the applicant or by the County. (a) If the applicant chooses to construct the extension, then the applicant shall bear the total cost of the construction. However, the applicant may receive for ten years after completion of the extension one-half of all moneys for sewer charges collected by the County from other properties connecting to the extension provided the total of such reimbursement shall not exceed the cost incurred by the applicant to construct the extension. Plans to reimburse the applicant for construction of the sewer extension shall require the approval of the County council by resolution. (b) If the applicant chooses for the County to construct the extension, the applicant shall elect to: (1) Pay the full cost for the extension and for ten years after completion of the extension receive all moneys for sewer charges collected by the County from other properties connecting to the extension. However, the total of such reimbursements shall not exceed the cost incurred to construct the extension. Plans to reimburse applicant for construction of sewer extensions shall require the approval of the County council by resolution; or (2) Pay for one-half of the cost for the extension with the other half of the cost being paid by the County. If the applicant chooses this method of payment the director or designee shall make an estimate of the cost of construction and submit it to the applicant. If the applicant then deposits with the County a sum equal to one-half of such cost, then the matter shall be referred to the council for review, approval and appropriation of the County's share of the costs.
