Compton Municipal Code § 4-2 Capital Outlays Fund

[Ord. #856, § 2520]

There is hereby created in the City Treasury a special capital outlays fund to be known as the Sewer Construction Fund pursuant to Section 1414 of Article XIV of the City Charter.

[Ord. #856, § 2521]

The sewer connection fees established in this section may be received by the City Treasurer from property owners whose property will be benefited by any such sewer, and such fees shall be deposited in the Sewer Construction Fund.

[Ord. #856, § 2522]

Upon recommendation of the City Engineer and approval by resolution of the City Council and when money is available in said Sewer Construction Fund, sewers shall be constructed and paid for from the fund.

[Ord. #856, § 2523]

No property shall be connected to any public sewer in the City unless the owner thereof or his predecessor in interest has heretofore paid a sewer connection fee or has heretofore paid for the construction of the sewer to which his property is to be connected.

[Ord. #856, § 2524; Ord. #932; Ord. #1199]

The sewer connection fees shall be as follows:

$3 per front foot for any lot fronting on any such sewer, when any such sewer will benefit property owners on both sides of any street; provided, however, that should any such sewer be so constructed as to benefit property owners on only one side of any street, the sewer connection fee shall be $5 per front foot of any property served; provided, further, that in addition to the charges above set forth in this section, there shall be a $30 fee for house connection line from the sewer to the curb line in front of the lot in the event it is necessary to construct any such house connection line. Such fees shall be in addition to any and all other sewer connection or permit fees established by this Code.

[Ord. #856, § 2525]

It shall be the duty of the City Engineer to make and maintain a sewer assessment map and to keep such other books and records as may be necessary to show and record the existence of any sewer connection fee that may be established by this section or that may hereafter exist as the result of the construction of any sewer with money from the Sewer Construction Fund.
