RE: Olympic View Drive Special Sewer Connection Fee
Dear Ms. Houshidar:
On Sanuaiy 19, 2010, the City of Edmonds approved the implementation of a special sewer connection
district, which includes your property at 7101 Olympic View Drive. The sewer improvements for this
district were recently built as part of the Olympic View Drive (OVD) project between 168t" Street SW to
76`i' Avenue West. Anew sewer lateral has been installed to serve your property from the sewer main in
OVD to the edge of your property. With this sewer improvement in place, you will now be able to
connect to the public sewer system.
The City of Edmonds is implementing the special connection fee to recover the actual costs to construct
the new sewer lateral benefiting your property. Special connection fees are authorized by the Revised
Code of Washington (RCW) 35.92.020 and .025 to enable cities to recover costs of such utility
irnproveinents from private property owners.
The special connection fee for your property is $4,015.85. In accordance with City Ordinance No. 3777,
you will need to connect your properly to the public sewer system and pay the special connection fee
within 60 days after the City of Edmonds declares the construction of the new OVD sewer lateral as final.
You have the option to receive a four month time extension to connect your property to the sewer main, if
1/3 of the special connection fee is paid to the City within the initial 60 day time period. The remainder
of the fee will be due at the time of connection. The anticipated acceptance date for the lateral is now
expected in March of this year. The City will notify you in writing of the acceptance date and the start of
the 60 day time period.
Prior to connecting to the public sewer system, you will be required to pay the City's adopted regular
system connection charge (currently $730) and secure a side sewer permit from the City's Engineering
Division. The side sewer permit and inspection fee is $95 and covers the new sewer pipe you will need to
install on your property to connect your home to the new OVD sewer lateral.
If your property is currently undeveloped, the special connection fee may be deferred until the time when
the property is developed. At such time, however, the special connection fee will be increased based on a
cumulative multiple equal to the Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index
for construction for the Seattle -Bellevue -Everett area.
