Inch Southside III Water Transmission Main Extension, Pursuant to Chapter 35, Article III, Division 4 Sections 35-87 through 35-93 of the City Code
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached ordinance to establish the water main capacity charge for the 24-inch Southside III water transmission main extension, in
accordance with Chapter 35, Water and Sewers, Article III, Division 4, Sections 35-87 through 35-93 of the City Code; and
2. Establish the boundary area for the water main to allow the Water Department to assess a reimbursement for the City pursuant to Section

This Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the establishment of a water main capacity charge for a 24-inch Southside III water
transmission main extension (City Project Nos. 104634 and 103826) near Brewer Blvd and McPherson Blvd. The Developer initiated this project.
The Developer is installing approximately 2,598 linear feet of 24-inch water main to serve the Southside III pressure plane and surrounding areas.
The City's qualified costs used to establish this water main capacity charge are outlined below:

Construction
Total $1,081,302.04 12.76 $84,741.54
The water main capacity charge for the 24-inch Southside III water transmission main extension is $84,741.54 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 due to the possibility of varying lot sizes that may be proposed. If a plat meets the definition of "other
development" stated in Section 35-88 of the City Code, 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 Sewers,
Article III, Division 4, Water Main Capacity Charges.
The water main capacity charge boundary is located in Council District 6 and 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.
