EXTENSIONS OF GAS MAINS, SERVICES AND METERING
Mesa City Code § 5-14-8
in effect5-14-8: - EXTENSIONS OF GAS MAINS, SERVICES AND METERING
The following governs the extension of the System for service to Customers whose requirements are usual and reasonable as determined by the Department.
(A) General Conditions for all Extensions of System Facilities for Service and Metering:
1. Extensions of the System, in all circumstances, are subject to the availability of (i) adequate capacity, (ii) suitable pressure, and (iii) the ability to meet the forecasted load requirements based upon the City's present and anticipated gas supply and transmission capacity.
2. Extensions must be designed and constructed for operation at those pressures as are determined by the Department for the area in which the extension is located.
3. The addition of new services must not cause an unacceptable reduction in capacity or pressure availability to existing or committed Customers, as determined by the Department based upon its present, anticipated, or designed infrastructure and forecasted load requirements.
(B) Cost of Extension of System Facilities for Service and Metering:
1. The Department will undertake an economic feasibility analysis to demonstrate the financial impact for the addition of proposed Customers, or for any upgrade required to an existing service. The methodology employed by the Department shall be applied uniformly and consistently to each customer class requiring a main extension.
2. The City and Customer may be required, based on the economic feasibility analysis, to enter an agreement for the extension of System facilities whereby funds are provided to the City which assure that the City will adequately recover the costs and expenses of extending service over a period not to exceed ten (10) years.
3. For any service or metering upgrades with fees and pricing specifically set forth in the City's Utility Service Fee Schedule or the Terms and Conditions of Service, unless otherwise specifically provided therein, the City may impose such adopted fees as an alternative to performing the analysis as set forth in this Section.
