FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: That Section 39-29 of the Santa Ana Municipal
Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
Sec. 39-29. Water for tracts.
(a) Construction water for residential subdivisions of
five or more lots: Water used for construction purposes
within residential subdivisions of five or more lots shall
be paid for at the charge as established by and for the
purposes described in the resolution adopted by the council
for each lot in the entire subdivision. This payment shall
cover all water needed for curbs, sidewalks, concrete pavement,
pavement, sub-grade compaction, plastering, bricklaying, and
other normal construction uses with the exception of sewer
ditch flooding, and shall be taken from the service connection
or fire hydrants within the tract, using meters at no additional
cost for water, or from fire hydrants under the provision of
section 39-26. The charge per lot shall provide for water from
service connections or hydrants within and adjacent to the
tract boundaries for the construction activities specified
above and for any other use such as developing lawns and
watering plantings on the lot for a period of four months from
the time service is installed or a fire hydrant permit is issued,
whichever occurs first~ Thereafter, all water use shall be
charged for at the regular rates unless the permittee having
the fire hydrant permit requests in writing an extension not to
exceed sixty (60) days. Such extension may be granted by the
Director of Public Works for periods during which no construction
was possible due to inclement weather, a strike of construction
workers or other good and sufficient reason, uncontrollable by
the permittee, which, in the judgment of the Director of Public
Works, warrants an extension.
(b) Construction water for commercial or industrial
subdivisions of five or more lots: Water used for construction
purposes within commercial or industrial subdivisions of five
(5) or more lots shall be paid for at the charge as established
by the council for water from fire hydrants under the provision
of section 39-26.
(c) Application for water mains: Owners of a new tract or
of a subdivision of land, who are required to install water
mains and hydrants as provided for in the subdivision ordinance,
chapter 34 of this Code, shall make application to have said
water mains and fire hydrants laid in said tract or subdivision.
Water mains and fire hydrants shall be as determined by the
department to properly supply said tract or subdivision, having
due regard to the requirements of adjacent lands and growth of
the city. The department shall charge and collect in advance
for such water mains, fittings and hydrants as it seems necessary
at the rate which the city council shall establish by resolution.
In cases where the applicant requests and is granted a main
larger than deemed necessary by the department, the applicant
shall pay the entire cost.
SECTION 2: That this Ordinance shall take effect thirty
days from and after the date of its adoption.
