PART 1. That the following provisions shall govern the City in
the review, approval, and installation of extensions of water and
wastewater utility lines and associated facilities that are not
extended through the Capital Improvements Programs;
A. Definition of Approach Main. An Approach Main is the water
and/or wastewater line(s), associated facilities and off site
improvements (as defined further below) required to extend
service from the existing utility system to the property of an
owner requesting utility service. An Approach Main is an
extension or addition to the basic city system necessary to serve
the property for which utility service is sought, provided that
where the Water and Wastewater Department of the City of
Georgetown requires a minor line extension to complete the grid
pattern of a subdivision when sufficient water capacity is
already available immediately adjacent to the subdivision
boundary, such water line extensions may not be considered an
approach main. In all instances, where existing on site or
immediately adjacent lines or associated facilities are not to be
utilized or are not sufficient to provide the necessary water
and/or wastewater service to the property, an Approach Main shall
be required, unless service to the property will be accomplished
by a minor line extension to complete the grid pattern as
provided above.
