In the second case the coat subject to i <br />reimbursement shall only be the extra cost incurred by installing <br />lines larger than needed to serve the subdivision itself. For I <br />example, where a $10,000 - 10" line is needed for the subdivision <br />and s $12,000 - 12" line is installed, only $2,000 may be ~ <br />reimbursed. <br />I <br />d.

Reimbursement olic The reimbursement policy outlines in Section B, <br />paragraph a ove shall be available fqr use by an individual <br />property owner who desires service at some distance from existing <br />facilities and when assessment of or contribution from intervening <br />property does not appear likely ar feasible. <br />The Board requested the County Attorney to review the policy and make <br />comments. <br />The Chairman recognized Mrs. Curtis Bane. Mrs. Bane made the following <br />statement; <br />"I am very interested in sewer and water for our county. I feel that <br />fire protection, as well as a size line for future demand, with firs hydrants <br />every 1,000 feet should be seriously considered, then all people can say, <br />"look how well Orange County is planned. We have no problems now due to sound <br />planning and far aightedness, We have had industries to voice their interest <br />in moving in on our property on I-85. This would mean more tax for our county <br />but they are very interested in sewer and water and when it can come to this <br />part of the county." <br />~_____~~ <br />
