CITY OF OCOEE, FLORIDA
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF OCOEE, ORANGE
COUNTY, FLORIDA, ADOPTING A SECONDARY WATER
TAP FEE FOR IRRIGATION PURPOSES ONLY, FOR
THE CITY OF OCOEE WATER DEPARTMENT; PROVID-
ING FOR COLLECTION OF SAID FEES; PROVIDING
FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE
DATE
WHEREAS, the City of Ocoee currently charges a fee of seven
hundred and fifty dollars for each equivalent residential unit tap
fee into the City of Ocoee's Water System; and,
.
WHEREAS, some of the sewer companies operating within the Cit
of Ocoee charge or intend to charge a sewer rate based upon the
water usage running through the meter; and,
WHEREAS, in order to provide the most equitable service to
our citizens the City Commission feels that water utilized for ir-
rigation purposes should not be counted as water that is being ut-
ilized in the traditional potable water sense.
NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF OCOEE, FLORIDA:
Section 1. The City Board of Commissioners of the City of
Ocoee, Florida hereby authorizes the establishment of a secondary
tap fee for the purposes of installing a second water meter to be
used for irrigation purposes only. This fee shall be in the amoun
of one hundred dollars as long as the primary tap fee of seven hun-
dred fifty dollars has been paid.
This hundred dollar fee shall be charged only in the instance
where an irrigation meter can be installed parallel to the already
existing potable water meter without the City of Ocoee Water De-
partment personnel having to install a second meter box or other
additional installation.
In such a case where a secondary meter box must be installed
there will be an additional fifty dollar service charge thus making
the total tap fee of one hundred fifty dollars where additional
work is required in order to install this secondary meter.
At such a time when the City Board of Commissioners deems
it appropriate that the seven hundred fifty dollar tap fee be in-
creased this secondary tap fee will be increased proportionately.
Section 2. If any section or portion of a section or subsec-
tion of this Ordinance proves to be invalid, unlawful, or unconsti-
tutional it shall not be held to invalidate or impair the validity,
force or effect of any other section or portion of a section or
subsection or part of this Ordinance.
.'
Section 3. This Ordinance shall take effect upon passage and
adoption by the City Board of Commissioners.
ENACTED THIS ~~ DAY OF January ,1985.
