Connection to City Utilities
of Utilities to Individuals
The information below is in response to your telephone inquiry
regarding the extension of utilities to properties within the
city limits at the request of the property owner.
In accordance with the City's ordinances, the City may extend or
cause to have extended water and sewer lines to a piece of
property. There are several methods in which this can take place
and attached are copies of sections in the code of ordinances as
well as appendix B of the subdivision ordinance dealing with this
matter. The Engineering Department administers these ordinances
and by copy of this memorandum I am making the City Engineer
aware of our discussion.
Recently there was a question regarding the extension of
utilities on South Beltline Road. Staff's recollection is the
developer extended all utilities south of Beltline Road at the
time the 635 Business Park was built and these utilities abut the
Leslie tract.
Please advise if additional information is needed.
