According to guidelines established on July 28 1977 (Informal Report No 2947)
~aw=T new front foot charges for water and sanitary sewer services are to be revised
quarterly The next revision is to be effective July 1 1982 These new
charges are "to be equal to 80% of the on-site front foot costs for water and

Where City forces are utilized to construct extensions to serve new
developments or to serve single customers the charge per foot of water or
sewer extension constructed has been set at double the applicable front foot
charge On this basis the Community Facilities Policy should be amended to
provide water and sewer extension charges for facilities constructed by City
forces as follows
Facility

Proposed Charge
Per Foot
Water $22 00 $21 00
Sanitary Sewer $17 00 $18 00
Similar recomputations and revisions of front foot and extension charges will
be made each quarter with the next charges to be based on costs for the period
of September 1, 1981 through August 31 1982
It is necessary to provide for an orderly transition from the old front foot
charges and the old extension charges to be effective July 1 1982 The
following recommendations have been prepared to meet that requirement
