13.10.010 Application and definitions.
As the city of Wasco develops, there is an increased demand placed on the amount of water that the city must supply and distribute. Revenues generated from monthly water rates are only for operational and maintenance expenses, and do not cover the cost of building new infrastructure to keep pace with the added demand that new development puts on the overall water system. The fees established by this chapter shall apply to any development project to be built in the city.
A. "Development project" means any project undertaken for the purpose of development. Development project includes a project involving the issuance of a permit for construction or reconstruction, but not a permit to operate.
B. "Engineering study" means that certain document entitled "Water System Impact Fee Engineering Study--City of Wasco" prepared for the city by Helt Engineering, Inc.
