Sec. 2-5

Increase in Size of Water Mains

  (a)    Increase in Size of Water Main Extensions for Service to Other Areas.
      Whenever the department finds it is necessary that the water mains
      proposed to deliver water to a subdivision should be of a greater
      capacity, in order to supply water and fire protection to other
      property, the department will require the installation of larger size
      main.
  (b)    Increase in size of water mains within subdivisions for benefit of
      other areas.  Whenever, in order to provide for existing or future services
      beyond the boundaries of a subdivision, the department finds that the
      mains to be installed within the subdivision should be of greater
      capacity than	would otherwise be required, the department will require
      the installations of larger size mains.
  (c)    Reimbursement for additional costs of mains. When the subdivider
      is required to install a larger size main for the reasons set forth in
      the preceding paragraph, the department will reimburse the subdivider,
      as soon as practicable after the acceptance by the department of the
      completed work, the additional costs of the installation over and
      above the cost of the mains that would have been required; provided,
      however, that in no case shall reimbursement be made for any portion
      of the cost of a main less than four-inch size in agricultural and
      rural areas or of any portion of the cost of a main less than six-inch
      size in residential areas or of any of the portion of the cost of a
      main less than eight-inch size in other areas; provided, further, that
      reimbursement shall not be made to the subdivider where such larger
      main or mains will service only areas under the same ownership as the
      subdivision under construction.
         Before the subdivider enters into a contract where a reimbursement
      to the subdivider for additional cost of the main to subdivision shall
      be made, the department shall review and either approve or reject said
      contract.  Prior to the installation of the larger size water main,
      the subdivider shall enter into an agreement with the department.
