December 3, 1984 Truckee Donner Public Utility District POLICY STATEMENT PURPOSE The purpose of this policy is to guide the District in its decisions relating to the upgrading of privately owned electric or water facilities which (1) are located within the District, (2) are currently being used to provide service from the District to customers, and (3) are not in compliance with existing District specifications and standards, INTENT It is the intent of this policy to establish a manner in which privately owned facilities which are not in compliance with District specifications and stan- dards may be upgraded and then accepted by the District for ownership, opera- tion and maintenance. It is the intent of this policy that such upgrading be handled in a manner that is equitable to the District and to property owners, and to shift a portion of the initial cost of upgrading the facilities from property owners to the District. POLICY Under this policy, existing users shall pay only their proportional share of the cost of the upgrade of the private facilities. The District shall pay the expense of the upgrade with respect to undeveloped lots. Thereafter, when the owners of the undeveloped lots apply to the District for service, the District shall charge such owners their proportional share of the upgrade. The District will continue to provide service through private facilities that do not meet District specifications only if the current users execute a re- cordable agreement committing to upgrade the facilities, and share their proportional cost of the upgrade, according to the policy contained herein. PROCEDURE When District staff discovers that current District customers receive service through private water or electric facilities that do not meet District stan- dards, the matter shall immediately be brought to the attention of the General Manager. The General Manager shall cause to be prepared a complete analysis of the pri- vate facility, including the location and description of the facility, the owner of the facility, the customers being served by the facility, the condition of the facility in relation to current District specifications and standards, the current estimated value of the facility, and the approximate cost of upgrading F.xibit A Water line Extension Formula The proportionate share of a line extension cost to a particular parcel i s based upon the useabl e l and area of the parcel , as we1 1 as the frontage of the parcel to the main. The total useable land area is determined. and each parcel is given a percentage of the total . Two thirds of the-total water main extension cost is calculated, and the useable land area percentage is applied to this total , in order to calculate the fireflow portion of the water main costs.

One third of the total water main extension cost is calculated, and the frontage percentage is applied to this total in order to calculate the consumptive portion of the water vain costs. The fireflow portion of the water main costs are added to the consumptive portion for each parcel . and this is the total lire extension cost for a particular parcel .
