025 13 Goal 4 - County Involvement Establish a basis for Orange County's involvement in the provision of water and/or sewer services and facilities. A. General Policies 1 . Water and sewer utilities extended to a development shall be based on good engineering practice and shall be determined by the long-range plans of the utility system to which they are connected. Utility extensions will be considered by the County in conjunction with assessments of potential growth and service need in the area. 2 . Orange County may consider providing financial assistance for the completion of water and/or sewer facilities, as provided in this Section. Funding assistance may be available for completion of engineering studies, easement acquisition, water and sewer lines including pipe and ancillary equipment such as water pumps, sewer pumps, valves, pump houses, fire hydrants, and water and sewer treatment plants as well as the actual construction of these utilities. Orange County may participate in providing financial assistance for a water and/or sewer line extension only if the termination point of the extension is an economic development project or serves a public safety or essential public service purpose. Any connections between the beginning and termination points of the extension must be consistent with the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. 3 . Major water and sewer utilities will be funded to a reasonable point along the property line of an approved project, within the limitations of available funds . Major water and sewer extensions are defined as projects where pipe sizes greater than eight (8) inches in diameter are extended more than 750 feet beyond existing facilities . 4. Water and sewer utilities must be built to the standards and specifications of the municipality, private association or water or sewer authority to whose system they are connected.
