definitive boundary for service area due to the possibility of varying lot sizes that may be proposed. If a plat meets the definition of other
development stated in the water main capacity charge policy,then the plat will be assessed the water main capacity charge even though the plat
may be located adjacent to,within,and/or outside the boundary area.The adoption of this charge is in accordance with Chapter 35,Water and
Sewer, Division IV,Water Main Capacity Charges.
The water main capacity charge boundary is located in the City's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction and Council District 3.
