City water system. The special connection charge shall be computed as provided in Section
14.04.074.
14.04.074 Computation of special connection charge.
(a) The special connection charge imposed by Section 14.04.072 shall be paid to the water fund
and shall be computed as follows:
(1) For distribution water lines The number of units of property to be served by water
determined in the manner prescribed in RCW 35.44.030 and 35.44.040 for determining
"assessable units of frontage" shall be multiplied by the average local improvement
assessment per unit of frontage for distribution water in the City of Seattle for the year in
which the water line to which the property is to be connected was constructed.
(2) For trunk water mains One cent per square foot of property wherever the property has
not been previously assessed for trunk water mains constructed after 1966.
(b) The special connection charge for property abutting on a street in which a water line can be
constructed or extended to serve such property shall be computed as if the water line were so
constructed or extended. The special connection charge for property located back from the
margin of the street in which the water line exists and outside the assessment district created
therefor shall be made giving consideration to the distance of the property from the street
margin. In no case shall credit be allowed for the cost of extra length of waterline required for
connection to the City's water system; provided, that in cases where application of the
foregoing formula to a particular property results in a charge which, because of unusual
conditions, is in excess of charges to similar properties, the Finance Director is authorized to
reduce the special connection charge to the amount charged to properties similarly situated.
(c) If the property for which a special connection charge has been paid is subsequently included in
a local improvement district for the construction of water mains or lateral lines of a similar
nature, the amount so paid shall be credited to the assessment against such property and such
amount shall be paid from the water and sewer fund to such local improvement district fund.
14.04.080 Connection notification.
Whenever the owner or occupant of any property connected with the City water supply system
desires to use the water, he shall notify the supervisor and request that the water be turned on to the
property. The owner shall leave his portion of the service exposed in the trench until it has been
inspected and the water turned on, when he shall immediately cover the pipe.
14.04.090 Connection to main.
All water used for any purpose other than fire protection service shall be supplied through a meter.
Every house or building supplied by City water must install its own separate service connection
with the City main, and the house or building so supplied will not be allowed to supply water to
others, except temporarily where there are no mains in the street. When a new main is laid in any
street, owners of property on the street who are being supplied with City water from a private main
or a connection to a private service shall make application for a tap and shall connect up with a
separate service connection to the main in front of the property.

is in use, and the service may be shut off and a charge of $25.00 will be made for turning on such
service. In case water shall be turned off as provided in this section, the same shall not be turned on
again until all rates and charges against such property have been paid in full.
14.04.110 Change in size or location of connection.
A change in the size or location of a service connection shall be paid for by the owner on the basis of
the cost of materials and labor involved in making said change, plus administrative overhead.
14.04.120 Application to discontinue water Fee to turn water meter on.
Whenever any water customer desires to discontinue the use of water for a period of not less than
one month, he shall make written application to have the water turned off and pay all arrears in full.

one month, or without the application prescribed in this section. Work performed outside of
normal working hours, due to customer request, will receive a minimum charge of $75.00.
14.04.125 Charge for shut -off notices for delinquent water service billings.
(a) When water service customers are 60 days in arrears, a shut -off notice is posted. There shall be
a service charge of $10.00 on water accounts for all shut -off notices. This charge will be
applied first before regular service charges are credited.
(b) All monies in arrears, which is defined as the amount owing eleven days after the billing date,
are due upon receipt of a shut -off notice. To avoid water shut -off, arrangements for payment
may be made with the Finance Director.
14.04.130 Cost of shutoff and turn-on by City.
When water has been shut off by the City for any cause and is turned on again or allowed or caused
to be turned on by the owner without written application, no remission of rates will be made on
account of its having been shut off, and the supervisor may then shut off the water at the main or
remove a portion of the service connection in the street, and shall charge the actual cost of cutting
out and reinstating the water supply to the owner of the property.

as may be required.

(a) Upon finding that an emergency situation exists, the Director of Public Works shall:
(1) Immediately seek to communicate with the Mayor and Council through the fastest means
feasible to advise them of this emergency situation and the reason for such restrictions;

media and other means to advise said water users of such emergency water conservation
measures and the necessity thereof; and
(3) Implement such measures and regulations as may be necessary to implement water use
restrictions under this ordinance and the plan adopted in Section 14.04.165.
(b) The Mayor, upon finding that an emergency situation exists which threatens to seriously
disrupt or diminish the municipal water supply, may order restrictions on water use so as to
distribute the available supply on a just and equitable basis to all customers, including
residential, industrial and commercial users who purchase water.

Department, effective control and enforcement of the water shortage response plan shall be
implemented.
(b) The Director of Public Works shall be authorized to impose sanctions and /or surcharges upon
those customers within the affected area who refuse or otherwise fail to comply with the

(c) The restrictions and surcharge shall not compromise the health, safety or welfare of the public.

constitute an undue burden on the customer.

water.
