Section.l. Section 2 of Ordinance Number 1919 is
herewith repealed.
Section 2. Section 2 of Ordinance 1590 and Section
24.20 of the code of the City of Port Angeles are amended to
read as follows:
A charge of $225.00 shall be made and deposited with
the City at the time of making an application for a new service
connection within the City, and a charge of $275.00 for a
connection outside of the City. Under these conditions the City

3/4 inch copper tubing, type "K" or 150 P.S.I. polyethelene
necessary to reach to within two feet of the property line,
and provide and install a 3/4 inche meter yoke. The customer
shall be required to provide and install 3/4 inch copper tubing,
type "K: or 150 P.S.E. polyethelene from the City curb stop to
his structure, and to provide a shutoff on his premises.
Where -a,new water service is installed, the owner shall establish
the finished grade for the service installation. After such
installation, if for any reason the Water Department is required
to change the service location or elevation, the owner shall be
liable for the costs of said change. Any request for installa-
tion of service larger than 3/4 inch shall be metered, and the
cost of the meter added to the tap -in fee.
No water line shall be laid within three feet, either
vertically or horizontally, of a sanitary sewer trench.
Each building requiring water service must have a
separate tap to a City main, unless otherwise approved by the
City Manager.

Where a new main is laid in the street and the customer
is being served from another location, he will be allowed three
months to change and connect his service line to the new main at
his expense in the same manner as for a new service.
No customer will be served unless the main is installed
under City supervision and specifications, and a deed to the main
and an easement for right of way, where necessary, is given to
the City. All expenses incurred in the above installation shall
be paid by the customer.
Before constructing new mains, 50 per cent of the tap
fees for the area to be ultimately served must be paid prior to
the City constructing the new lines. Where extensions are re-
quired across areas that will not be used for residential purposes,
the cost of the extension will be added to the tap -in fee of the
area to be served. Where property is not subdivided, for tap -in
fee purposes, it shall be assumed the land is divided into 50
foot lots. The mains will at all times be the property of the
City.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Angeles
at a regular meeting of the Council held on the 18th day of
