Water Policies — Past and Present
3/29/99
Policy Prior to 1995 Comp Plan
1. Anyone can get water from any available source (i.e. private wells, small,
centralized systems, connection to adjoining community system, connection to an
existing Shorewood system or extension of an existing Shorewood system).
2. With the exception of commercial (nonresidential) and multiple - family residential
properties, no one will be required to connect to, or pay for, City water (until they
choose to connect).
3. Anyone may extend and connect to City water, provided those who want it are
willing to pay 100 percent of the cost.
Example: If nine out of 12 residents in a neighborhood want water, the nine will
pay the entire cost. Subsequent hookup fees go into the water fund.
4. Unless previously assessed, properties connecting to the existing system must pay
a connection charge (currently $4000 *). Credit is allowed (currently up to $2000)
where trunk or lateral lines must be extended.
*Present fee is $5000
1995 Comprehensive Plan
1. Extend water to entire city (with exceptions for financially, or physically
infeasible areas) over 10 years (later revised to 20 years).
2. Short term objectives:
a. Analyze current system to determine the limits and capacities of the current
independent systems. Done.
b. Provide reliable source of water for fire protection where water exists (i.e.
water tower on west end and interconnects with other cities).
c. Enhance viability of west end system; provide elevated storage. Done.
d. Make water available to a senior housing project.
e. Finance elevated storage on west end by means of private development fees,
T.I.F. for senior housing, and other funding sources. Done. Heritage, Marsh
Pointe, Watten Ponds, Smithtown Circle paid $10,000 per lot for water. City
of Victoria paid $232,000 for interconnect on south end of Smithtown.
Existing residents along water main extensions were assessed $5000 for water
availability. The plan for financing is, however, dependent upon future water
revenues.
L Coordinate road improvement projects with water main projects. Done in the
case of Eureka Road north and Church Road.
-1-
3. Long term objectives:
a. Interconnect all water systems. Done in the case of Boulder Bridge and
Badger systems. Partially done for Amesbury and Southeast Area.
b. Examine multiple jurisdiction water utility district.
c. Establish a depreciation fund for system replacement.
d. Provide water to as many residents as is feasible.
4. Analysis of existing and future system resulted in following fee structure:
a. Existing lot of record (single - family)- $5000.
b. Newly created lot (single - family)- $5000 assessment plus $5000 trunk charge
(trunk has since been changed to connection charge).
c. Developer can petition to have the connection charge assessed as well as the
assessment.
d. Multiple - family residential and nonresidential are subject to formula using
$5000 base and $5000 connection fee.
5. New development must connect to City water where feasible. If not feasible,
development pays $5000 per lot trunk charge, plus recorded agreements require
assessment to be paid at such time as water is available.
6. Hookup to the system is not mandatory.
Current Policy
1. No water extensions programmed in C.I.P.
2. Completely voluntary system. Anyone can get water from any available source
(i.e. private wells, small, centralized systems, connection to adjoining community
system, connection to an existing Shorewood system, or expansion of an existing
Shorewood system).
3. With the exception of commercial (nonresidential) and multiple - family residential
properties, no one will be required to connect to, or pay for, City water (until they
choose to connect).
4. Anyone may extend and connect to City water, provided those who want it are
willing to pay 100 percent of the total cost. Further, those who are unwilling to
pay initially must approve the extension. If they connect later, the connection
charge goes to the water fund.
5. Previously assessed lots are subject to the $5000 assessment and $5000
connection charges. Extensions of water main to existing lots are subject to the
$5000 assessment or the cost of the improvement whichever is greater. Credit
may be given based upon future projected water revenues.
-2
I - - �
6. Newly created lots are not required to connect to the system. If the developer
chooses to connect to the system, newly created lots pay $10,000 less any
previous assessments.
7.• Amendments to the water policy require a public hearing, notice of which must be
published in the official newspaper and in the City newsletter.
Note: One policy that has remained constant throughout the years is that all water main
extensions must be consistent with the overall water system plan, originally adopted in
1984 and updated in 1996. This applies to the sizing of pipes.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brad Nielsen -
DATE: 25 March 1999
RE: Comprehensive Plan — Special Meeting
FILE NO. 405 (Comp Plan — Admin)
Attached are the comments we have received thus far on the Natural Resources, Land
Use, and Transportation chapters of the Comp Plan. They will serve as the basis for
discussion for Monday night's special meeting. The first part of the meeting will be
devoted, however, to the Community Facilities chapter, for which we have not received
comments as of this writing.
Undoubtedly, the most significant decisions to be made have to do with municipal water.
What is currently in the Comprehensive Plan is much different than what the City's
current policies and ordinances say. Those differences will be presented at the meeting
on Monday night. While we do not expect all of the issues associated with water to be
resolved in 1.5 hours (they haven't been resolved in over 25 years!), we should attempt to
identify some general direction to be included in the Comprehensive Plan.
Hopefully the Comprehensive Plan discussion on water will shed some additional light
on the executive session scheduled for 8:30. Ideally we can get to the Natural Resources
and Land Use comments after the executive session.
If you have any questions relative to any of the material, please call me prior to Monday
night's meeting.
