Pursuant to Section 35-92 of the City Code, the net capacity for a 36-inch water main is

determine if a charge for reimbursement will be assessed in accordance with Section 35-
93 of the City Code.
SECTION 4.
This ordinance shall be cumulative of all provisions of ordinances and of the Code
of Ordinances of the City of Fort Worth, Texas (2015), as amended, except where the

paragraphs, sentences, clauses and phrases of this ordinance are severable, and, if any
phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph or section of this ordinance shall be declared
unconstitutional by the valid judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction,
such unconstitutionality shall not affect any of the remaining phrases, clauses, sentences,
paragraphs and sections of this ordinance, since the same would have been enacted by the

The water main capacity charge for the 36-inch Westside V water transmission main is $552,719.10 per million gallons per day (MGD) in
accordance with City Code Section 35-92. The water main capacity charge collected will reimburse the Fort Worth Water Department. The City's
collection of this charge will end when the City's development costs are fully reimbursed.
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 service area. If a plat meets the definition of "other development" stated in Section 35-88 of the City Code, then the
properties served by the 36-inch Westside V water transmission main 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 Sewers,
Article III, Division 4, Water Main Capacity Charges.
The water main capacity charge boundary is located in Council District 3 and the ETJ.
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 recommendations 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.
