WHEREAS, The City of Bremerton does provide and operate a municipal sewerage utility to serve its citizens and utility customers; and WHEREAS, The City has now embarked upon a capital improvement program to increase the capacity and degree of treatment provided by its wastewater facilities; and WHEREAS, such improvements were designed to accomodate an increased number of utility customers; and WHEREAS, the costs of both existing andimproved facilities are to be borne by utility charges to all customers; and WHEREAS, an increase in the number of paying customers will result in lower ultimate costs to be borne by all customers; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Bremerton that extensions of sewer lines and service connections thereto be allowed for providing sewerage service to properties or premises outside the corporate limits of the City of Bremerton subject to, but not limited only to, the following conditions: 1. The capital costs for any extensions or connections outside the corporate limits of the City must be borne under some arrange- ment that does not result in any portion of such cost being imposed upon utility customers whose served premises are inside the corporate limits of the City of Bremerton. 2. The design for any extensions or connections must be approved by the City Engineer using the same criterion for approval as then applies to all other new extensions or connections. - 1 - 3. Any applicant for sewerage service provisions by the City shall follow the procedures and conform to all standards then in effect for all utility customers just as though the premises to be served was located inside the corporate limits of the City of Bremerton. 4. Where and when sewer mains can reasonably be located with- in traveled public rights-of-way, they shall be so located. When necessary, it shall be the responsibility of the prospective utility customers to provide documents from the appropriate State or County agencies which documents do grant to the City the right to operate, maintain, repair or replace sewer lines and appurtenances in the same manner as would apply to public sewers within the corporate limits of the City. 5. When extensions of sewer mains can not reasonably be located within traveled public rights-of-way, they may be located within dedicated and recorded easements granted to the City of Bremerton which easements do guarantee that the sewer line location will always remain open to access for necessary operation, maintenance, repair or replace- ment and which do not impose upon the City or City contractor any res- toration requirements other than reasonable resotration of sod or grass vegetation. 6. The City will not be obligated to provide sewerage service to any premise or property whose location is contrary to service boun- daries established by agreement between the City and any municipal or County authority. 7. The City will not be obligated to provide sewerage service to any premise or property when or while such provision is limited or restricted by legal orders or directives issued by or on behalf of any State or Federal authority. 8. The City will not be obligated to provide sewerage service to any new premise or property outside the corporate limits of the City when such provision of service would result in an overloaded condition upon either wastewater collection or treatment facilities operated by - 2 - the City or when such provision of service would result in non-com- pliance with then existing waste discharge permit requirements. 9. Resolution No. 1647 is hereby rescinded. lO. Resolution No. 1657 is hereby rescinded. ll. Resolution No. 1767 is hereby rescinded.
