Page 14 <br />F. Sanitary Sewer and Water Trunk Impfovements. Trunk sewer and water mains <br />are usually designed to carry larger volumes of flow than are necessary within an <br />immediate property area in order to serve additional properties beyond the area <br />of their immediate placement, Therefore, 100 percent (100%) of the cost of trunk <br />improvements will be assessed on a unit basis to all properties within a district <br />deemed to be benefitted from the trunk improvements. <br />G. Sewer and Water Services. Individual sewer and water services benefit only the <br />properties they serve and 100 percent (100%) of their cost shall be assessed to <br />the property for which they are installed. <br />H. Drainage Improvements. Storm drainage and ponding/basin systems are usually <br />constructed to serve a specific drainage or "watershed" district. The cost of <br />drainage improvements shall be two-thirds (2/3) assessed. The remaining cost <br />will be paid for by the Storm Water Surface Utility and/or by an ad valorem tax <br />basis to the properties within the district as provided by Minnesota Statutes. <br />Storm sewer reconstruction normally takes place together with street <br />reconstruction projects and the costs shall be assessed in accordance with the <br />assessment policies related to street improvements. <br />Special Conditions. Special consideration shall be given to the "age" of a street <br />or utility system when determining the proportion of cost. to be assessed to <br />benefitted properties. If it is necessary to reconstruct or resurface a street or <br />perform major repair/replacement work on sewer and water utilities, before a <br />reasonable amount of time (10 to 12 years for resurfacing, 12 to 17 years for <br />partial reconstruction and 17 to.25 years for total reconstruction) the assessment <br />shall be calculated on a pro -rata basis. The remaining cost shall be recovered <br />by means of the general ad valorem property tax paid by the entire community <br />or by other funds that may become available to the City for infrastructure- - - <br />cost recovery.
