Waterline Subsequent Connection (connection within existing waterline) - The charge applies to connection requests for dwellings that did not participate in the original project, when the servicing waterline was constructed. - The charge shall be calculated as 135% of the applicable waterline's original charge. - Any new connection shall be set at the current minimum charge. Waterline Subsequent Extension Rebate (an extension to an existing mainline that was constructed by an individual at a cost greater than the cost of a new proposed construction for a new proponent) - The original applicant is entitled to a rebate if the minimum price for the connection is more than 1.5 times the cost of a minimum connection charge for the service to an existing line. - No rebate after 10 years of the connection date of the initial project. (Adopted by Council Report dated June 21, 2021 PWS Rebates for Water Connections) Example: If the cost to install a new mainline paid by the initial party was $40,000 and if to connect to advance the initial mainline were $10,000 to a subsequent proponent, then the cost now would total $50,000 (divided by the two parties equals $25,000 each.) The new applicant is charged $25,000. A total of $65,000 ($40,000 + $25,000 from the new applicant) has now been collected. The owner of the new service would pay $25,000 and the initial party would receive a $15,000 rebate from those funds, thus equalizing the cost. Both scenarios have a 10 year sunset clause. Minimum Connection Charge - Applies to all waterline connections: $10,000 (2026) $10,500 (2027) $11,000 (2028) - $500 deposit required Multiple Dwellings - A connection charge applies to every detached dwelling serviced by the Township's municipal water system.
