adjacent developments have been constructed. The City cost participated with each phase to increase the water line diameter to a 16-inch pipe.
This water line will serve surrounding areas within the City of Fort Worth Westside III pressure plane.

The water main capacity charge for the 16-inch water main is $147,753.44 per million gallons per day (MGD) in accordance with City Code
Section 35-92. This amount will be reimbursed to the City of Fort Worth Water Department. The water line extensions upsized by the City were
within the original developer project limits; therefore, developer reimbursement is not eligible for this water main capacity charge. The max
reimbursable amount to the Fort Worth Water Department is $280,733.93. There is no restriction to the time period for the reimbursement to the
Fort Worth Water Department.
The boundary area, as shown in Exhibit A, is determined for the purpose of assessment review. The boundary is used as a guideline, not as a
definitive boundary for the 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.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation and establishment of the charge, funds will be deposited into
the Water & Sewer Fund. The Water Department (and Financial Management Services) is responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due
to the City.
