wastewater system has a current (2012) surplus of 17,717 equivalent residential units (ERUs),
which translates into capacity for 40,751 additional people, which is adequate to accommodate
the 2025 growth population for the City, the East and West Bremerton, the South Kitsap
Industrial Area and Gorst UGAs
SECTION 3. The City of Bremerton has the capacity and will serve the UGAs
upon the annexation of those areas to the City, or through Outside Utilities Agreements, either or
both of which are anticipated to occur through the year 2025
SECTION 4. Pursuant to the Bremerton Municipal Code 15 03 040, the City
may extend its sewer collection service to property lying within its associated unincorporated
UGA that is not contiguous to City limits upon request and the execution of an Outside Utilities
Agreement The party seeking the utility extension is responsible for paying the entire cost of
the sewer connection, any applicable system extension fees, and construction of all capacity
infrastructure improvements under the direction and approval of the City Costs associated with
the utility extension may be partially recouped through latecomer reimbursement, if applicable
SECTION S. Since the City generally relies upon private funding such as
developer extensions, local improvements districts or other mechanisms to finance the extension
of sewer collection systems outside of the City boundaries, such extensions are not shown in the
City's capital facilities plan, but rather, are added once a binding commitment is finalized
SECTION 6. For the reasons set forth above, the City has both the capacity
and/or the ability to serve the East Bremerton, West Bremerton, Gorst and the South Kitsap
Industrial Area UGAs with public sanitary sewer service
