OF THE CODE OF THE CITY BY THE ADDITION OF
SECTION 26-169 PERTAINING TO CONVERSION TO
RAW WATER IRRIGATION
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS that the
Code of the City is hereby amended by the addition of new section, to be
numbered Section 26-169, to provide as follows:
Sec. 26-169. Conversion to raw water irrigation.
Any existing customer of the water utility who is provided
service used exclusively for botanical irrigation shall be
eligible to apply for a rebate from the water utility upon
conversion of said water service to a raw water irrigation
system.
The amount of any such rebate shall be equal to the value of
the water treatment plant capacity which is made available
because of the conversion of such irrigation water service to a
raw water irrigation system. The value of the water treatment
plant capacity shall be based upon the most current net book
value of the city's water treatment plant facilities (as said net
book value is maintained by the Finance Department) at the time
of application for the rebate, in proportion to the peak day
capacity of the city' s treatment facilities existing at the time
of the application for the rebate. Botanical irrigation shall be
deemed to consume one-quarter ( .25) inch of water per day over
the entire area irrigated. The rebate shall be calculated in
accordance with the following formula:
.25 (inches) X Irrigated x 7.48 (gal/ x Net Book Value (E) REBATE (5)
12(inches/ft) Area (sq.ft.) cu.ft.) Peak Day Capacity(gallons)
The rebate shall not exceed the current cost of plant
investment fees based upon the size of irrigation service or
services to be inactivated by the applicant. The city may pay
fifty (50) percent of the rebate when such irrigation service is
inactivated and physically separated from the new raw water
irrigation system, but the city shall not pay the remaining
portion of the rebate until the raw water irrigation system is
fully installed and capable of operation. No rebate, or any
portion thereof, shall be made until the irrigation system has
been disconnected from the water utility. Upon disconnection,
such irrigation system shall not be reconnected to the water
utility until such time that the utility has received payment of
all plant investment fees and tap fees required under the Code
for new customers.
Introduced, considered favorably on first reading, and ordered
published this 20th day of March, A.D. 1990, and to be presented for final
