Town\u2019s Comprehensive Plan + Public Interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n What can I do with my well? Do I have to connect to the water main right away? Do I have to pay a debt service cost even if I don\u2019t hook up to the water? How much will public water raise my assessment? What happens if the district is not formed? Will the annual cost change?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS<\/h3>\n
\n<\/strong>1.\u00a0 Abandon the well.
\n2. Keep well but separate it from public water plumbing.
\n3. Keep well and install backflow prevention (RPZ)<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>No. A service line will be installed to the property line of all existing residents. There will be no future hook up charge for existing residents that do not connect right away. Service lines will not be installed to undeveloped lots and a future hookup fee would be required.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>According to state law, all properties within an established water district that are receiving a benefit must share equally in that benefit whether using the water or not. Agricultural properties only must share if using the water, unless by special agreement.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The existence of a water main or the connection to a water main does not in itself raise assessment values. Assessment values are based on the sale price of comparable houses in the area.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Public Water cannot be extended until a District is formed. Farm contributions will be lost.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Cost of water has the potential to change annually as costs of maintaining the system change. The debt service is set at a maximum level and that is the most you can be expected to pay. If more units develop in the district, the annual debt cost per service will go down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
