A. Storm Sewer Utility. The city council hereby creates and establishes a storm sewer utility as part of the citys overall sewer system. The storm sewer utility shall plan, design, construct, maintain, administer and operate the citys storm sewer system.

B. Enterprise Fund.

1. The citys Storm Sewer Utility Enterprise Fund will handle all income, expenses and other financial transactions related to the storm sewer utility created hereby.

2. All storm sewer utility service charges shall be deposited in the Storm Sewer Utility Enterprise Fund. Money in the Storm Sewer Utility Enterprise Fund shall not be commingled with or transferred to other city funds.

3. The Storm Sewer Utility Enterprise Fund shall be operated according to state law and city policy.

C. Facilities and Assets.

4. The mayor is hereby expressively authorized to effect the transfer of assets to the storm sewer utility as provided immediately above. (Ord. 99-13, dated 6\8\99)

A. Imposed. Each developed parcel of real property in the city shall be charged a storm sewer utility fee.

1. The city council finds that the ESU is the most accurate measurement for determining the amount that each parcel contributes to, benefits from and otherwise uses or participates in storm sewer utility services.

2. The storm sewer utility fee shall be based on the number of ESUs contained in the parcel.

3. The ESU for one residential lot is an average of 3,000 square feet.

B. Calculation.

1. The city council finds that each single family residential parcel generates and contributes approximately the same amount of storm water runoff to the citys storm water system. Therefore, each developed single family residential parcel shall pay a base rate of one (1) ESU.

2. All non-single family residential parcels shall pay a multiple of this base rate, expressed in ESU s according to the measured impervious area on the parcel.

3. The city council may, from time to time, adopt separate rates for PRUDs condominiums and other uses that are not easily handled under the standard rate schedule.

13.12.020 Drilling of New Water Wells.

A. The city protests all new well applications within the corporate limits to the minimum extent that the city might retain control of the culinary water sources within the city. Wells for stock watering and irrigation only could be considered an allowable use. The reasons for the protest are:

1. When the property is later desired or required to be connected to the municipal culinary water system, it is sometimes very difficult to determine with total certainty that a cross connection does not exist and cross connections are a violation of the state laws.

2. A cross connection, if discovered can also jeopardize the municipal systems ranking as an approved system.

3. If a private well is approved and an extension of the municipal system is later needed in that area, participation in the proposed extended system generally does not receive the support of those people that already have their own private systems.

4. Private wells do not generally have sufficient volume or pressure to furnish adequate flow for fire fighting.

5. The State of Utah recently adopted the new Drinking Water Source Protection Program and its very stringent new regulations and controls. (Res 93-H, 6/22/93)
