SECTION II - FINDINGS 1. Under the California law, publicly owned water purveyors are generally required to provide water service to their customers under reasonable rules and regulations. 2. South Tahoe Public Utility District (District) occasionally receives requests from current or potential customers for classes and types of water service that the District does not currently provide to its customers. For instance, the United States Forest Service (USFS) has requested that the District provide it with emergency potable water service and fire protection service to a facility for which the USFS will provide primary water service. 3. Since the District has not established rates for such non-standard services, before providing service, the District must evaluate the costs of providing the requested service to the potential customer in order to determine a "reasonable" charge, as well as such reasonable terms and conditions under which the service will be provided. SECTION III - SECTION 3.1.25.5 ADDED TO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE The following section is added to the Administrative Code of the South Tahoe Public Utility District: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Ordinance No. 476-00 Page 2 3.1.25.5 Special Charges. Non-standard water service requested by an applicant shall be subject to such rates, charges, and other terms and conditions as established by the Board. "Non-standard water service" means a form or type of water service that is not set forth in this Administrative Code, and may include, but shall not be limited to, secondary, emergency, or backup potable water service, standby fire service to persons that are not potable water customers, service outside the District's boundaries, and non- potable water service. The owner of the property where the service will be provided and/or applicant shall enter into an agreement with the District, in such form as approved by the Board. The agreement may require the owner and/or applicant to pay all costs and expenses incurred by the District in reviewing the application, and preparing and reviewing the agreement. Such fees shall be paid prior to the execution of the agreement. All fees, costs, and expenses incurred after the execution of the agreement shall constitute a water service charge that shall be billed and payable in accordance with Section 6 of this Administrative Code. SECTION IV - EFFECTIVE DATE This ordinance shall be effective thirty (30) days after its passage.
