§ 50.093 MAIN EXTENSIONS.

Eureka Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · Eureka

(A) Extensions required.

(1) An applicant for a permit to connect a premises to the POTW where the property upon which such premises is situated does not abut the POTW, shall deposit with the city the following sums: in the case of all applications for a new sewer main extension, a sum shall be advanced to the city based upon an estimate by the City Manager of the total costs of all labor, materials, equipment, and other costs incidental to the main extension, plus 20% for general overhead, but excluding the cost of oversizing sewer mains for the general benefit of the sewer collection system, but in no event shall the charge be less than $500.

(2) In lieu of the advance required by the provisions of this division (A), the City Manager may require applicants for new sewer connections to make such sewer connections at their own expense in accordance with such standards as have been or may be adopted by resolution of the Council. In such instances, all labor, materials, equipment, and other items necessary for such connections shall be furnished by the applicants.

('63 Code, § 5-5.1701)

(3) In cases where a property is connected to the POTW indirectly via connection to another property's lateral ("crossconnected sewer lateral"), the City Manager may order the owner of the property to go through the process set out in division (A) (1) above and complete the installation of a separate connection. This process shall be required when, in the professional opinion of the City Manager and his public works professionals, a modern direct connection is necessary to prevent backups, overflows, update decayed or vulnerable lateral lines, or presents any other threat to the health and safety of the immediately adjacent properties, neighborhood, or POTW.

(B) Extensions by the applicant. In lieu of the advances required by the provisions of division (A) of this section, the City Manager may require applicants for new sewer connections to make such sewer main extensions at their own expense in accordance with such standards as have been or may be adopted by resolution of the Council. In such instances, all labor, materials, equipment, and other items necessary for the extension shall be furnished by the applicant. Any extra costs incurred by the applicant in any oversizing of sewer mains required by the City Manager for the general benefit of the sewer collection system may be reimbursed by the city in accordance with a written agreement with the applicant entered into prior to the construction of such main extension.

('63 Code, § 5-5.1702)

(C) Low-pressure sewer manifold agreements. The Director of Public Works, where it is determined the installation of lowpressure sewer manifold system is necessary to provide sewer service to a specific area, shall establish a reimbursement agreement to provide for the design and installation of said system. The reimbursement agreement shall require a surcharge be assessed to each parcel connecting to the manifold system. The surcharge shall consist of an equal portion of the estimated costs to design and install the total system main extension. The surcharge shall be based on a review and agreement prepared by the Director of Public Works prior to the installation of the system. Services (laterals) off the main will be at each parcel owner's expense. ('63 Code, § 5-5.1703)
