Washington, creating an exception to the
secondary sewer assessment charge.

connections for those new residences that may have been pre -sold
but not yet constructed prior to notice and implementation of the

affect a limited number of new residences for a short period of
time and will not have a significant adverse effect on sewer
utility revenues;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT
ANGELES DOES HEREBY ORDAIN as follows:
Section 1. The secondary sewer assessment established by
Ordinance 2572 shall not be charged for water service connections
for new residences that have been pre -sold but for which the
necessary construction permits had not been obtained prior to the
effective date of Ordinance 2572, and any such charges that have
been collected by the City shall be refunded; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that sufficient proof of such pre -sale shall have been provided by
the contractor to the Public Works Department.
Section 2 - Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take
effect five days after date of publication.
