from the same Line Extension, each will receive an Allowance
up to their proportion of the Basic and Exceptional Cost of the
line extension.
Allowances shall be granted only against the Basic and
Exceptional Cost of the current project and not against any
part of an earlier or future extension.
The Allowance will be equal to the Basic and Exceptional Cost
or the applicable amount listed below, whichever is less.
MAXIMUM ALLOWANCE
Schedule 1 individual Customer $2.475 per unit
Schedule 1 duplex $1 980 per unit
Schedule 1 multiplex $1 ,490 per unit

permanent connections to both water service and either a
sewer or septic system. If such connections are made within
five years after the completion of the line extension, the

before the original line extension becomes six years old.
Unclaimed refunds will be returned to the contributor.
EXAMPLE:
1. First Customer pays $13,480 for 1,000 feet of
primary underground circuit ($13.48 per foot).
2. Second Customer takes service within five years
using 600 feet of the original extension.
3. Both Customers share the first 600 feet equally:
600 ft x $13.48/ft x '/z = $4,044.
4. The Second Customer's payment of $4.044, will be
refunded to the First Customer to reduce his
investment in the 600 feet to $4,044. The First
Customer's investment in the remaining 400 feet
remains at $5,392. ($13,480-$4,044-$4,044=$5,392)
EXCEPTION: If the refund to an existing Customer is
less than $100 each, the new Customer will not be
required to pay that share and the existing Customer
will not receive a refund.
