Agenda Title: |
|||
|
Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 6060 to Revise the Regulations Relating to Private Water and Sewer Service Lines by Amending Chapter 13.12 of the Rapid City Municipal Code |
|||
|
Summary: |
|||
|
There are numerous locations within Rapid City which are served by private, non-conforming water or sewer service lines, sewer collection systems, or water distribution systems. Many of these lines are aging and beginning to fail which poses a hazard to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Rapid City. The City Council previously adopted Chapter 13.12 of the Rapid City Municipal Code which addressed the replacement of these private, non-conforming lines. Historically several projects to bring non-conforming services into compliance have been delayed or postponed due to costs that cannot be shared by the property owners. Given that many property owners have been paying water and/or sewer rates for several years and a portion of the rates is intended to reconstruct public sewer and water mains that provide service for the rate payers, staff recommends revising the existing ordinance to better serve these customers. Attached for reference is the proposed resolution which is referenced in the proposed ordinance. The resolution is anticipated to be acted on contemporaneously with the 2nd reading of the proposed ordinance. |
