NEW WATER CHARGES TO BE COLLECTED <br />HYDRANT SERVICE: <br />There shall be an annual $15.00 service fee for fire hydrants, payable <br />by each owner (including the City) upon whose property such hydrant is <br />situated. <br />There are 25 private hydrants in the City which most do not get any <br />maintenance at all. In order to assure that these hydrants are usable <br />in case of a fire, I feel the City is obligated to maintain and make <br />all repairs to these hydrants. <br />AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SYSTEM STAND BY SERVICE: <br />Where a connection is made to an automatic sprinkler system for stand <br />by service only, on either municipal or private water mains, a $100.00 <br />charge for such service shall be made on an annual basis. <br />Ibis ordinance was in effect, but removed a few years ago. I recommend <br />that this ordinance be put back in effect, because it does cost the City <br />money to supply this service. By providing this service, it is reducing <br />their fire insurance premium by 80 %, which is a lot more than $100.00 <br />per year. <br />
