ORDINANCE NO. 476-00
AN ORDINANCE ADDING SECTION 3.1.25.5 TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE
CODE OF THE SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT PROVIDING FOR
THE PROVISION OF NON-STANDARD WATER SERVICE BY THE DISTRICT
BE IT ENACTED by the Board of Directors of the South Tahoe Public Utility
District as follows:
SECTION I - POLICY AND PURPOSE
The purpose of this ordinance is to amend the Administrative Code of the
District to allow the District to enter into special agreements for the provision of non-
standard water service by the District.
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

Public Utility District:

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.
