Sec. 86-58Farm tap service

(a) Whenever an applicant requests service which can only be supplied from a high pressure (above 60 pounds per square inch gauge) main, the city, subject to the results of a feasibility test, may tap the main, install regulating equipment, and extend its facilities to the delivery point on the customer's premises. The customer will provide the city with all necessary rights-of-way on its premises at no expense to the city. Whether a CIAC is required of the customer prior to the installation of such facilities will be determined by the results of the feasibility test.

(b) For a farm tap customer, a feasibility test shall be performed which includes all costs less an allowance for the cost of (i) the actual feet of main required to serve the customer, not to exceed 100 feet, (ii) the actual feet of service required to serve the customer, not to exceed 100 feet, and (iii) the actual number of meter set(s).

(c) Charges for service will be billed on the applicable city rate schedule. All other terms and conditions of the applicable city rate schedule(s) apply to customers using farm tap service.

(d) Any customer receiving service as the result of the installation of a farm tap customer shall furnish to the city, at all times and at no cost to the city, a satisfactory and lawful right-of-way through its premises for the city's equipment necessary or incidental to the furnishing of service and shall execute a written right-of-way agreement. The customer may make full use and enjoyment of the lands and premises included within the right-of-way granted by this paragraph in any manner not inconsistent with the use and purposes of said land and premises by the city; provided, however, that the customer, its heirs, successors, and assigns, shall not construct nor permit to be constructed any house, structure, or obstruction; nor impound nor permit to be impounded any water on or over the right-of-way; and the customer, its heirs, successors, and assigns, further agree that the customer and its heirs, successors, and assigns will not change the grade over the pipeline or pipelines in any manner which will reduce the depth of said pipeline or pipelines.
