119. Water Main Expansion and Extension Connection Fee. A
Water Main Expansion and Extension Connection Fee is
hereby established to partially reimburse the Village
for the cost of extending water lines to serve new and
additional users and to increase its capacity to produce
and transport water. This fee shall be in addition to
any and all other fees provided in this Ordinance No. 5-277,
as amended. The Village of Oak Brook may provide, at
its own initial expense, for the drilling of wells and the
construction of expansions and extensions of its water
supply system to certain areas within the Village and in
areas outside the Village, but within the accredited area
of the Oak Brook Utility Company. In so doing, the
Village seeks to provide a material benefit to the property
owners abutting such improvements. To partially reimburse
the Village for such costs, the Village creates a Water Main
Expansion and Extension Connection Fee. Such fee shall be
equal to forty-five percent (451o) of the capital cost to the
Village involved in the expansion or extension of the system
determined on a per-lot basis, if paid in the year in which the
expansion or extension of the system is accepted by the Village.
Such capital cost shall include all costs incurred by the Village
in such expansion or extension of the system, including, but
not limited to, engineering fees, supervision, legal fees,
land costs, material costs, and construction. In the event
said fee is not paid in full at the time described above, the
fee shall increase at the'rate of six percent (616) per year for
each and every subsequent year or fraction thereof until paid,
commencing with the year following the year in which the
expansion or extension of the system is accepted by the
Village. The Village, in lieu of a lump sum payment,
shall consider payment of such fee over a period not to
exceed three (3) years, if the same is requested in writing.
The revenue received by the Village from the Water Main
Expansion and Extension Connection Fee shall be used
by the Village for its general corporate purposes, with
primary application thereof being made to the necessary
expansion of the system to meet the requirements of new
or additional users thereof; such fund shall be placed, until
they are used, into a fund which shall be known as the
"Water System Expansion Connection Fund". The monies
to the credit of such fund may be invested from time to time
by the Treasurer of the Village as provided by law. All
accrued interest on any investments shall be credited to such
fund.
The Village may accept a donation of construction, expansion,
or extension of the works of its system in lieu of all or
part of the connection fees established by this Ordinance. "
