Likewise, the <br />City does not require connection to the water system. At the 11/14/94 joint <br />meeting, it was the consensus of both groups that it would be desirable to <br />have an ordinance that requires water connections. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Utilities Commission reviewed the attached draft ordinance at its <br />December 6, 1994, meeting. The only comment that they offered regarding <br />this ordinance related to a proposed exemption for the properties affected by <br />the Westwood public improvements project of 1992. As the Council may <br />recall, this was a City initiated utility improvement project and not a project <br />requested by developers or property owners. <br /> <br />The attached proposed ordinance requires connection to the water system <br />within two years of availability, provides for the establishment of water fees <br />and charges, and outlines the timetable for payment of these fees. <br /> <br />City Attorney Peter Beck will be in attendance at this meeting to further <br />review this proposed ordinance with the City Council. <br /> <br />council:watercon <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
