AN ORDINANCE of the City of Port Angeles,
Washington, establishing rates and conditions
for the sale of water for resale or transfer
outside of Port Angeles and amending Chapter 6
of Ordinance 2181, as amended, and Chapter 13.44
of the Port Angeles Municipal Code.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT ANGELES DOES HEREBY
ORDAIN as follows:
Section 1. Chapter 6 of Ordinance 2181, as amended, and
Chapter 13.44 of the Port Angeles Municipal Code are hereby amended
by adding a new section to read as follows:
13.44.050 Resale Rate. In circumstances under which the
Director determines pursuant to PAMC 13.32.020F that it is
appropriate to allow a customer to furnish City water to a
subsequent purchaser for the purpose of resale or transfer of the
water outside of Port Angeles, the rates and conditions for such
water use shall be as follows:
A. The regular monthly metered rate for the water
service at which the water is obtained shall continue to apply.
B. A surcharge shall be paid for water consumption
in excess of 100,000 gallons at the rate of one fourth of a cent
per gallon. This surcharge reflects the commodity value of water
for resale or transfer as well as the fact that such irregular
purchasers of City water are not required to pay service connection
or latecomer system development charges as do other new customers
of the water utility and the fact that single, large purchases of
water can have a negative impact on the City's water utility and
source of supply.
C. Said surcharge may be used for special water
utility purposes such as water system or water quality improvement
projects.
D. Any fees charged by the customer to the
subsequent purchaser shall be subject to the approval of the
Director.
E. The purchaser shall be required to execute a hold
harmless agreement, acknowledging that the City makes no
representations as to the quality of the water and indemnifying the
City and its officials and employees against any claims, lawsuits,
or damages that may result directly or indirectly from the purchase
of water from the City of Port Angeles.
Section 2 - Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take
effect five days after the date of publication.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Angeles at
a regular meeting of said Council held on the 16th day of April,
1996.
