351 Ail extensions must be within maintained road rights-of-ways and will not be activated until proof of such dedication has been provided to the County. Each individual unit with the exception of apartment complexes, condominiums, and shopping centers must have an individual meter. Meters will be furnished by the County at the cost listed in the rate schedule. Each occupancy or property owner must post a security deposit and turn-on fee prior to activation of the service. In the case of shopping centers, individual meter services may be installed provided that the water lines are installed within the driveway or parking areas and that a right-of-way 20 feet in width be dedicated to the County for the operation and maintenance of the system. Minimum monthly bills for customers with master meters will be determined as explained under extensions to existing development. At times it will be necessary for a developer to extend a line outside of his development. In such cases provided funds are available, the County will assist in financing of the project by paying the additional costs required to increase facilities that are necessarily larger than 6 inches. The County will in turn collect a connection fee from future connections based on the County's cost participation divided by the footage of line not within the developers property. Commercial or industrial property will be charged the fee for the total footage of their property, residential units will be charged for up to a maximum of 100 feet per connection. In addition to the footage fee, the normal service connection fee, security deposit, and turn-on will be charged. If the County is financially unable to aid in the desired extension, the developer may pay the total cost of the system and receive a refund for that portion above 6 inches in size. The refund will also be based on cost versus footage. Fees shall be collected by the County and returned to the developer on a yearly basis. The maximum time for refunding of monies shall be ten (10) years or 100% of the refundable amount whichever comes first. C.
