Item•
Request to recertify to the County Assessor the amount of taxes levied for county purposes. This is due to
a submission error on the Bond amount for the North Mason Regional Fire Association(NMRFA)
Background/Executive Summary:
Pursuant to RCW 84.52.070, it is the duty of the County Commissioners,on or before the 15t'day of
December in each year,to certify to the County Assessor the amount of taxes levied upon the property in
the county for county purposes, and on or before the first Monday in December the respective amounts of
taxes levied by the board for each taxing district for district purposes.
According to the Assessor's Office, a recertification after the applicable deadline in RCW 84.52.070 is
allowed if:
• The new levy request is less than the original request
• The levy amount is recertified on or before the earlier of January 15tn
• The local government, in its discretion, allows taxing district to recertify after the applicable
deadline in RCW 84.52.070, 1 st of December

$5,800,000 and the amount should be $580,000.

Item: Approval to Purchase Paint Striping Truck through the Buy-Board Contract for the Public
Works Road Department
Background/Executive Summary:
The Public Works Department would like to purchase a new paint striping truck(MRL Model 1-80-AA
Air Atomized Paint Striper) from the Buy-Board contract with Mark Rite Lines Equipment Co.,Inc. out
of Billings,MT. to handle in-house striping of county roads.
This purchase will eliminate the need for annual contracts with external vendors,resulting in long-term
cost savings and greater control over scheduling and quality.The truck includes a 2024 Isuzu NRR
chassis,advanced hydraulic and pneumatic systems, stainless steel paint tanks, and a comprehensive
electronics suite.
It also comes with free delivery,a 5-day training session for Road Operations and Maintenance staff and a
full service and parts manual.
Budget Impact(amount, funding source,budget amendment, etc.):
The paint striping truck costs $410,626,with$200,000 allocated from the 2025 striping program for the
vehicle and$250,000 for the purchase of the paint.
ERR will provide a$200,000 short-term loan for the vehicle. In 2026, $450,000 is budgeted for striping,
with the road fund repaying ERR and using the remaining funds for the paint.
Public Outreach:
Staff contacted two different vendors on the Buy Board contracts. One vendor offered a model without all
the accessories,training, or delivery,while the other vendor required additional special parts to match the
fully loaded features of the selected model.
Requested Action:
Requesting the Board of Commissioners authorize Public Works to procure a paint striping truck from
Mark Rite Lines Equipment Co., Inc. off of the Buy-Board contract for the amount of$410,626.00 and
authorize the County Engineer to sign the purchase agreement.

Sound and in the freshwater streams and creeks draining into those inlets."' The Tribe's cultural
and economic well-being depend upon sufficient clean water to support abundant and sustainable
fisheries. Protecting water quality, ecosystem function, and salmon populations in this area is
critical to maintaining the Tribe's traditional lifeways and the exercise of its federal Treaty rights.
In 2021, Squaxin Island Natural Resources staff began requesting information and leadership level
consultation on the Project, but no outreach was forthcoming from Mason County. Executive
Order 21-02 (the "Order") requires delegated non-state recipients of state funds, to "consult with
. . . affected tribes on the potential effects of projects on cultural resources proposed in state-
funded construction . . . including grant or pass-through funding that culminates in construction or
land acquisitions, to determine potential effects to cultural resources." The Order further states
that consultation should be with "affected tribes early in the project planning process" and must
be completed "prior to the expenditure of any state funds for construction, demolition or
acquisition." Finally, the Order dictates that all reasonable action should be taken "to avoid,
minimize or mitigate adverse effects to . . . traditional cultural places,sacred sites or other cultural
resources." Thus, leadership level consultation between the Tribe and Mason County must occur
before the Project moves forward.

The Squaxin Island Tribe has serious concerns about the adverse effects that the Project could have
on the Tribe's traditional cultural places and other cultural resources, particularly salmon.2 One
of these resources is Coulter Creek, a prized salmon stream. Due to the absence of development
in the watershed and the clean groundwater that feeds the stream, Coulter Creek is a high-quality
salmon stream. These attributes make Coulter Creek an important spawning and rearing habitat
for chum and coho salmon and cutthroat trout. The Creek is also the source stream for a
Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife hatchery at Hwy 302. This hatchery is used as
a holding facility for juvenile chinook that are harvested as adults by Tribal members, providing
essential mitigation for the loss of the Tribe's traditional fisheries.
The body of earth to which the Belfair Water Reclamation Facility discharges is finite and adjacent
to Coulter Creek. The Tribe has concerns regarding the quality of source water from the Puget
Sound Industrial Center (the "PSIC"), which includes the Bremerton Airport. Per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS") and other flame retardants are known to contaminate
groundwater and wells at airports. To evaluate the impacts of the Project, the Tribe would need
information about current or potential PSIC tenants,any source water control agreements between
Mason County and PSIC or PSIC tenants, a characterization of unregulated chemicals in
wastewater from the PSIC,and data showing the additional nitrogen load to Coulter Creek. While
we recognize that reclaimed water can, in some circumstances, benefit a watershed, we do not
currently have enough information about the PSIC wastewater load to engage in an informed
risk/benefit analysis.
In addition to water quality, the Tribe is concerned about the inter-basin transfer of water from
PSIC to the'Belfair Water Reclamation Facility. This transfer would move water from the Gorst
Creek, Parish Creek, and Union River basins into the Coulter Creek basin. Inter-basin transfers
involve mixing or co-mingling diverse water sources,which creates a high likelihood of sediment
and pollutant cross-contamination. As a basic principle of watershed management,it is the Tribe's
policy to protect the integrity of each watershed's unique characteristics rather than allow inter-
basin transfers of water.
The Bremerton—Mason County Sewer Expansion Project poses serious risks to the Tribe's Treaty
Resources, including a change to the groundwater, surface water, and water quality of Coulter
Creek and its tributaries. The Tribe requests government-to-government consultation with Mason
County before any further steps are taken to move the Project forward.

RE:Tribal Consultation for Belfair Sewer System and Regional Sewer Planning with the City of Bremerton
Dear Commissioners Neatherlin,Shutty,and Trask,
The Suquamish Indian Tribe of the Port Madison Reservation(Suquamish Tribe or Tribe)understands that Mason
County Public Works staff have recently recommended to the Commission that it hold government-to-government
meetings with the Skokomish Indian Tribe and Squaxin Island Indian Tribe concerning a draft Interlocal Agreement
with the City of Bremerton for the extension of Belfair Sewer System services to the City.
The Suquamish Tribe holds approximately sixty acres of tribal trust lands in the area of the extension contemplated
by the draft Interlocal Agreement,and the Suquamish Tribe is the only tribe with tribal trust lands within the City of
Bremerton.The Suquamish Tribe therefore respectfully requests that if the Commission,or County staff,hold any
government-to-government meetings with the Skokomish and Squaxin Island Tribes about the Belfair Sewer System
or the draft Interlocal Agreement with the City of Bremerton,the Suquamish Tribe be allowed to attend those
meetings. If Mason County decides to hold separate government-to-government meetings with the Skokomish
Indian Tribe and Squaxin Island Tribe in order to maintain the confidentiality of its discussions with each of those
tribes,the Suquamish Tribe requests the same opportunity be provided to the Suquamish Tribe.
Thank you for your consideration of the matter,and the Suquamish Tribe looks forward to further discussions with
you.
Sincerely,�} -

RE. Request for consultation for the Bremerton-Mason County Sewer Expansion Project
The Honorable Leonard Forsman, Chair and Stephanie Trudel, THPO Tribal Representative:
The City of Bremerton (City) is proposing to participate in the expansion of the sewer collection
system along State Route 3 (SR 3) near Lake Flora Road at the very south end of Kitsap
County. Work will occur in both Kitsap and Mason counties. The City was notified in May 2024
that $3,000,000 had been appropriated for the design of these improvements in the 2025-2026
State of Washington Capital Budget. The grant for these funds is being administered through
the State Department of Commerce. Governor's Executive Order 21-02 requires agencies
using capitol funds to consider how proposed projects may impact cultural resources. The
process includes obtaining letters from both DAHP and the affected tribes for design phases to
avoid adverse impacts to archaeology and historic resources. Consultation with the State
Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) is being done concurrently.
This project provides for the design of treatment capacity improvements at the Belfair Water and
Wastewater Reclamation Facility (BWWRF), and the design of collection system expansion
from the BWWRF that will ultimately serve properties within the Puget Sound Industrial Center
(PSIC), which is located within the City of Bremerton's Sewer Service Area. These projects will
be coordinated with the Belfair Freight Corridor Project. That project is ongoing and requires
coordination between state and local agencies, private landowners, and various Tribes in the
area. Delaying these improvements and installing them at a future time would be disruptive to
the public.
This regional approach will eliminate or reduce the need to construct a new wastewater
treatment facility within the Bremerton City limits. The City of Bremerton and Mason County
have been considering this collaborative project for several years and are in discussions
regarding the development of an interlocal agency agreement that will establish the level of
service that Mason County can provide to Bremerton, describe how the project will be funded,
and define the responsibilities for operation and maintenance for this multi-jurisdictional system.
Three (3) figures are attached for your use. Figure 1 is a vicinity map showing the larger area,
Figure 2 is a location map focusing on the project area, and Figure 3 is the proposed sewer
conveyance system layout (Sewer Master Plan) in Kitsap County.
The design is anticipated to begin in mid-2025, with construction to occur starting in late 2026
and extending into 2028 pending construction funding. This schedule allows the project to be
constructed concurrently with the Belfair Freight Corridor to minimize the impacts to the public.
If you have any questions about this project or need additional information, please contact Bill
Davis at william.davis@ci.bremerton.wa.us or (360) 473-2312.
Sincerely,
Greg Wheeler
Mayor, City of Bremerton

RE. Request for consultation for the Bremerton-Mason County Sewer Expansion Project
The Honorable Charles Miller, Chair and Kris Miller, THPO Tribal Representative:
The City of Bremerton (City) is proposing to participate in the expansion of the sewer collection
system along State Route 3 (SR 3) near Lake Flora Road at the very south end of Kitsap
County. Work will occur in both Kitsap and Mason counties. The City was notified in May 2024
that $3,000,000 had been appropriated for the design of these improvements in the 2025-2026
State of Washington Capital Budget. The grant for these funds is being administered through
the State Department of Commerce. Governor's Executive Order 21-02 requires agencies
using capitol funds to consider how proposed projects may impact cultural resources. The
process includes obtaining letters from both DAHP and the affected tribes for design phases to
avoid adverse impacts to archaeology and historic resources. Consultation with the State
Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) is being done concurrently.
This project provides for the design of treatment capacity improvements at the Belfair Water and
Wastewater Reclamation Facility (BWWRF), and the design of collection system expansion
from the BWWRF that will ultimately serve properties within the Puget Sound Industrial Center
(PSIC), which is located within the City of Bremerton's Sewer Service Area. These projects will
be coordinated with the Belfair Freight Corridor Project. That project is ongoing and requires
coordination between state and local agencies, private landowners, and various Tribes in the
area. Delaying these improvements and installing them at a future time would be disruptive to
the public.
This regional approach will eliminate or reduce the need to construct a new wastewater
treatment facility within the Bremerton City limits. The City of Bremerton and Mason County
have been considering this collaborative project for several years and are in discussions
regarding the development of an interlocal agency agreement that will establish the level of
service that Mason County can provide to Bremerton, describe how the project will be funded,
and define the responsibilities for operation and maintenance for this multi-jurisdictional system.
Three (3) figures are attached for your use. Figure 1 is a vicinity map showing the larger area,
Figure 2 is a location map focusing on the project area, and Figure 3 is the proposed sewer
conveyance system layout (Sewer Master Plan) in Kitsap County.
The design is anticipated to begin in mid-2025, with construction to occur starting in late 2026
and extending into 2028 pending construction funding. This schedule allows the project to be
constructed concurrently with the Belfair Freight Corridor to minimize the impacts to the public.
If you have any questions about this project or need additional information, please contact Bill
Davis at william.davis@ci.bremerton.wa.us or (360) 473-2312.
Sincerely,
Greg Wheeler
Mayor, City of Bremerton

Item: Rustlewood and Beard's Cove Water System Metered Rates—Status Report
Back2round/Executive Summary:
Metered rates go into effect January 1,2025. The purpose for this update is:
1. To share the status of"going live"with the first tiered rate bill,
2. share recent data for the Rustlewood and Beard's Cove water utilities, and
3. discuss how to address"hardship"cases and billing credit for prompt homeowner leak repairs.
Public Works has sent monthly communications to customers to ensure they are well informed of likely
individual monthly bills with extra emphasis on those with very high-water use. We have shared
resources we are aware of to help aid in leak repair costs. Despite this,we are likely to see some
customers with large bills unable to pay and/or repair leaks.
Budget Impact:
Water consumption has declined as expected: summer use has discontinued,and waterline leaks are fixed.
Public Outreach:
Direct customer communication via mail,phone,community meetings.
Requested Action:
We are asking the Board to consider policies for"hardship" situations and one-time tiered rate
forgiveness when owners promptly repair their waterline leaks.

In May 2024, Commissioners passed Resolution 2024-030. This
resolution approved the 2025 water rates and new tiered water
billing structure .
In June 2024, Mason County Utilities staff began notifying excessive
water usage customers of the upcoming tiered water rates starting
January 2025 and the estimated billing impacts. And starting in
September 2024, ALL Mason County water customers received their
individual water usage and the estimated impact on their future
billing .

1 . All customers will have 4 months of data advising them of what their new bill will be under the
new tiered rate structure that will begin January 2025.
2. Customers using over 2500 CF will have 6 months of data. Two of those months via certified mail.
3. We are seeing reductions in consumption in both utilities due to fixing leaks and seasonal trends.
4. Beards Cove: When comparing November's 2024 water rates to approved 2025 water rates, it is
estimated that the tier system would bring in an additional $6,566 for the month of November.
5. Rustlewood: When comparing November's 2024 water rates to approved 2025 water rates, it is
estimated that the tier system would bring in an additional $5,212 for the month of November.

WaterSense Fix a Leak Week Fact Sheet
What is Fix a Leak Week?
Because minor water leaks account for more than 1 trillion gallons of water wasted each year
in U.S. homes,the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's WaterSense° program promotes
Fix a Leak Week the third week of March each year. Fix a Leak Week is an annual reminder to
Americans to check household plumbing fixtures and irrigation systems for leaks.
The Facts on Leaks:
• The average household's leaks can account for more than 10,000 gallons of water wasted
every year,or the amount of water needed to wash 270 loads of laundry.
• Household leaks can waste more than 1 trillion gallons annually nationwide.That's equal to
the annual household water use of more than 11 million homes.
• Ten percent of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day.
• Common types of leaks found in the home include worn toilet flappers,dripping faucets,and
leaking showerheads.All are easily correctable.
• Fixing easily corrected household water leaks can save homeowners about 10 percent on
their water bills.
• Keep your home leak-free by repairing dripping faucets,toilet flappers,and showerheads. In
most cases,fixture replacement parts don't require a major investment.
• Most common leaks can be eliminated after retrofitting a household with new WaterSense
labeled fixtures and other high-efficiency appliances.
Leak Detection:
• A good method to check for leaks is to examine your winter water use. It's likely that a family of
four has a serious leak problem if its winter water use exceeds 12,000 gallons per month.
• Check your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If
the meter does not read exactly the same,you probably have a leak.
• One way to find out if you have a toilet leak is to place a drop of food coloring in the toilet
tank. If the color shows up in the bowl within 10 minutes without flushing,you have a leak.
Make sure to flush immediately after this experiment to avoid staining the tank.
Faucets and Showerheads:
• A leaky faucet that drips at the rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons
per year.That's the amount of water needed to take more than 180 showers!
• Leaky faucets can be fixed by checking faucet washers and gaskets for wear and replacing
them if necessary. If you are replacing a faucet, look for the WaterSense label.
(866)WTR-SENS(987-7367) • www.epa.gov/watersense • watersense@epa.gov
• A showerhead leaking at 10 drips per minute wastes more than 500 gallons per year.
That's the amount of water it takes to wash 60 loads of dishes in your dishwasher.
• Most leaky showerheads can be fixed by ensuring a tight connection using pipe tape and
a wrench. If you are replacing a showerhead, look for one that has earned the WaterSense
label.
Toilets:
• If your toilet is leaking,the cause is often an old or faulty toilet flapper.Over time,this
inexpensive rubber part decays,or minerals build up on it. It's usually best to replace the
whole rubber flapper—a relatively easy, inexpensive do-it-yourself project that pays for
itself in no time.
• If you do need to replace the entire toilet, look for the WaterSense label. If the average
family replaces its older, inefficient toilets with new WaterSense labeled ones, it could
save 13,000 gallons of water per year. Retrofitting the house could save the family nearly
$2,400 in water and wastewater bills over the lifetime of the toilets.
Outdoors:
• An irrigation system should be checked each spring before use to make sure it was not
damaged by frost or freezing.
• An irrigation system that has a leak 1/32nd of an inch in diameter(about the thickness of a
dime) can waste about 6,300 gallons of water per month.
• To ensure that your in-ground irrigation system is not leaking water,consult an irrigation
professional certified by a WaterSense labeled program.Visit www.epa.gov/watersense/
findapro.html to browse WaterSense's Directory of Certified Professionals.
• Check your garden hose for leaks at its connection to the spigot. If it leaks while you run
your hose, replace the nylon or rubber hose washer and ensure a tight connection to the
spigot using pipe tape and a wrench.

Chapter 13.08 PUBLIC WORKS STANDARDS
1. For approval of the permit required by this chapter,the director or his/her designee shall be authorized
to enter upon easement premises served by any building sewer or grinder pump installation or
connected with any public sewer at all reasonable hours to ascertain,inspect or make necessary tests
to determine whether the provisions of local,state and federal laws relative to sewerage have been
complied with.In the event entry is refused,the department may apply for a search warrant to
accomplish the appropriate inspection.Regardless of whether a search warrant can be obtained,if the
director has reason to believe that a violation of applicable provisions of local,state or federal laws
relative to sewerage may exist,the department shall have the right to terminate the connection of the
property to the public sewer facilities.
2. If such sewer,or its attachments,are in conflict with the provisions of any law or resolution in regard
thereto,the property owner or his/her agent shall be notified to cause such sewer or its attachments
to be so altered,repaired or reconstructed at the owner's expense,so as to make them conform to the
requirements of the laws and resolutions within a reasonable time limit established by the director
from the time of receipt of such notice.
3. Every employee of the department being authorized to enter upon private property to inspect or have
charge or maintaining the public sewer facilities of the department shall be furnished with means of
identification and shall carry such identification at all times when engaged upon the duties of his/her
position and produce and exhibit the same upon request.

13.04.050 Permits.
A. Permits Required.No unauthorized person shall uncover,make any connection with or opening into,use,
alter or disturb any public sewer facilities or appurtenance thereof or construct any sewer disposal system
without first obtaining a written permit from the department or other responsible agency.This article covers
both permits for gravity sewer connections and grinder pump installation for the service area.
B. Building Sewer Permits.There shall be two classes of building sewer permits:(a)for single-family residential
service;and(b)for multifamily or nonresidential service.In either case,the property owner or his/her agent
shall make application on a form furnished by the county.A building sewer permit shall be required of any
owner of the lots,parcel of real estate or structure(s)either required or electing to make a connection to a
public sewer or make a modification,repair,disconnection,inspection or addition to an existing building
sewer.The appropriate permit fees shall be paid to the county at the time the application is filed.Upon
acquisition of the building sewer permit and payment of the connection fee,the owner shall receive a"blue
card"authorizing construction and connection.
C. Building Sewer Permit—Term.A building sewer permit is valid for twelve months from the date of issuance.
The building sewer permit may be extended an additional twelve months at the discretion of the director.If
after twenty-four months,the building sewer permit expires but the owner still wishes to connect owner's
property to a sewer,the owner must obtain a new permit and pay the county another full permit fee unless
circumstances,in the judgment of the director,warrant an exception.If a building sewer permit is cancelled
by the owner,the permit fee shall not be refunded but forfeited.In addition,the owner shall pay the
difference between the originally paid CFC and the CFC in effect at the time the new building sewer permit
fee is obtained.
D. Building Sewer Permit Requirements.A building sewer permit shall be obtained in the following manner:
1. Permits shall be issued only upon proper application to the Mason County Department of Utilities and
Waste Management.
2. A permit which authorizes work in a public right-of-way or easement dedicated to Mason County or the
connection with or opening into any public sewer other than through the normal opening of a wye,tee
or side sewer stub shall be issued to a licensed contractor.

3. A permit which authorizes building sewer work may be issued to the owner of the property.For
building sewer as defined in Section 13.043-1.020 of this code,the owner may perform only that
portion of the connection located on private property and not in public right-of-way or easement
dedicated to the county.
4. Building sewer permits shall not be transferable.No person shall lay any pipe pursuant to any other
person's or contractor's permit.
5. A permit shall be issued prior to commencement of construction and only after all applicable charges
and fees have been paid to the department by the owner or developer.
6. No permit allowing connection to the public sewer shall be issued before the main sewer is accepted
by the director,and the property owner so notified.An interim approval allowing building sewer
construction without connection to a nonoperational sewer may be issued at the discretion of the
director.
7. The permit card must be posted on the iob prior to commencing the work and must be readily
accessible to the director.

13.04.060 Grinder pumps in designated low-pressure sewer areas.
A. Low-Pressure Sewer Installations in Designated Areas.The sewer system has been designed for properties in
designated areas to be served by low-pressure sewers for the convenience and economy of the overall
system.Because of this design,properties in these areas are required to have a grinder pump in order to
pump sewage from the property to the sewer mains.The department will notify property owners if their
properties are in a designated low-pressure sewer area and are required to have a grinder pump for the
convenience and economy of the overall system.
B. Responsibility for Grinder Pumps.The provisions in this section shall apply only to properties in designated
low-pressure sewer areas for which grinder pumps are required for the convenience and economy of the
overall system.A summary of this division of responsibilities is shown in Figure A(below).
1. For Single-Family Residential Structures:The property owner shall be responsible for acquiring and
installing an approved grinder pump with the appropriate electrical circuit,subject to the inspection
and approval of the county.The county will maintain the pump as part of the overall system.
Appropriate grinder pumps may be purchased from the county by the property owner.
2. For Multifamily or Commercial Structures,The property owner shall be responsible for providing,
installing,and maintaining an approved grinder pump with the appropriate electrical circuit,subject to
the inspection and approval of the county.
3. In All Cases:Property owners shall be responsible for the cost of electricity serving the grinder pump.
Property owners shall also provide the county with right-of-entry documents for any properties served
with a grinder pump to allow the county to properly inspect and(when applicable)maintain the
pump.

13.04.070 Fees and Costs
A. Permit Fees and Costs.
1. At the time of application for a building sewer permit,or if an applicant seeks to connect to the sewer
system,the applicant shall apply for a building sewer permit(blue card)and shall pay to the county a
permit fee together with connection charges and/or other applicable charges(including grinder pump
charges),if any,required by this chapter.If the permit is not issued,the permit fee,grinder pump
charge and connection charges shall be refunded.
a. For single-family residential structures,the building sewer permit fee shall be one hundred fifty
dollars.
b. For multifamily or commercial structures,the building sewer permit fee shall be seventy-five
dollars per hour of staff time plus the out-of-pocket costs incurred by the department in
reviewing,inspecting,and meeting about the permit application.The minimum fee is one
hundred fifty dollars,which must be paid at the time of application.After the actual amount of
the fee is determined,the additional charge must be paid before the permit is issued.
2. A sewer design review fee shall be charged for design review services provided by department staff when
an application is submitted for a large subdivision,short subdivision,or boundary line adjustment.The
sewer design review fee shall be seventy-five dollars per hour of staff time plus the out-of-pocket costs
incurred by the department in reviewing,inspecting,and meeting about the application.The minimum
fee is one hundred fifty dollars,which must be paid at the time of application.After the actual amount of
the fee is determined,the additional charge must be paid before the subdivision or boundary line
adjustment is approved.
3. Except as provided in Section 13.04.051,grinder pumps in designated low-pressure sewer areas,all costs
and expenses incidental to the installation and connection to the sanitary sewer system whether it be

Chapter 13.08 PUBLIC WORKS STANDARDS
gravity or grinder pump connection,shall be borne by the property owner,including costs associated with
decommissioning the existing septic tank or other on-site wastewater treatment system.
4. If sewer service by grinder pump is not required by the county,but desirable for the convenience and
economy of the property owner,and if it is allowed by the director,the property owner shall either
purchase a grinder pump approved by the county or purchase the pump directly from the county.If the
pump is purchased from the county,the cost to the owner shall be the actual costs paid by the county for
the grinder pump,including tax.The owner shall be responsible for the cost of installing and maintaining
the pump and for the cost of electrical power to serve the pump.Owners shall be required to provide
right-of-entry documents for any properties served with a grinder pump.
5. If department personnel or resources are required to repair or assist in the repair of a grinder pump
whose maintenance is not the responsibility of the county,the department shall charge the property
owner seventy-five dollars per hour of staff time plus out-of-pocket costs.If a pump whose maintenance
is the responsibility of the county is damaged due to the actions or negligence of the property owner,the
property owner shall reimburse the department for all repair or replacement costs,including seventy-five
dollars per hour for applicable employee time.
6. A reinspection fee of seventy-five dollars per additional visit shall be charged when more than one
inspection is required for the county to determine if the property is properly connected to the public
sewer system,and if the septic system or other on-site wastewater treatment facilities have been
Properly disconnected.
B. Capital Facilities Charge(CFC)—Intent.Consistent with RCW 36.94.140,and subject to the exceptions
stated in this section,the intent of the capital facilities charge is to recover the full cost of capacity,which
is defined as the projected total capital cost of the sewer system at full build-out,net of grants and
Property owner capital contributions(such as utility local improvement district assessments or the value
of sewer infrastructure paid for by developers and donated to the system),divided by the number of ERUs
projected to be served by the system at full build-out.The calculation of the CFC shall only include capital
costs to develop or expand the system,not to renovate or repair an existing system.The estimated full
cost of capacity is expected to be updated periodically in order to reflect updated cost and ERU growth
projections and to incorporate accrued interest for up to ten years for infrastructure already built.
C. Capital Facilities Charge Required.A capital facilities charge shall be paid to the county before any structure
is connected to public sewer facilities.No building sewer permit shall be issued prior to the application for a
building permit.No building permit shall be issued until all capital facilities charges have been paid in full,
except as otherwise provided in this chapter.The capital facilities charge per ERU for a given parcel shall be
the amounts set forth in Sections 13.04.060G.and 13.04.060H.
D. Residential ERUs.
1. The amount of annual water consumption defined as an ERU shall be referred to as the standard water
consumption.The standard water consumption shall be two hundred gallons per day,equivalent to
seven thousand five hundred sixty-four cubic feet of water per year.
2. Subject to the exceptions stated in this section,each freestanding single-family residential structure shall
be charged one ERU for sewer service.
3. Subject to the exceptions stated in this section,if more than one freestanding single-family residential
structure is located on one tax parcel,each structure shall count as one ERU.
4. Multifamily uses are defined as two or more dwelling units in one structure.The number of ERUs for a
multifamily structure shall be defined as the number of dwelling units multiplied by-1.0.
5. Where a legally permitted home occupation takes place within a residence,the structure shall be treated
as a residential use for the purposes of determining ERUs,and not as a commercial use.
6. Where an ancillary residential structure depends on a primary residence for access to bathroom and/or
kitchen plumbing fixtures,the director or his designee shall consider the ancillary structure to be part of
the primary residence for the purpose of determining ERUs.
Mason County,Washington,Code of Ordinances Created: 2021-12-29 14:27:41[EST]
(Supp.No.57,11-21)
Page 16 of 115
Title 13-UTILITIES
Chapter 13.08 PUBLIC WORKS STANDARDS
7. Where a single-family structure of four hundred square feet or less(exterior dimensions)is located on a
parcel with another residential or commercial structure,the single-family structure of four hundred
square feet or less shall be counted as a multifamily dwelling unit.Where common ownership and a
shared water meter exist,the director or his designee may consider adjacent parcels to be functionally
equivalent to one parcel for the purpose of determining the applicability of this provision.
8. A manufactured housing community,as defined in RCW 59.20.030,may elect to have its residential
structures treated as a group,even if the manufactured homes are located on separate parcels and/or
have separate water meters.If the manufactured housing community elects to be treated as a group,
upon written notice of such election,it shall be billed as a single customer,and its residential structures
shall be counted as multifamily dwelling units.If the manufactured housing community as a whole
becomes delinquent,as defined by Section 13.31.090C.,the director may revoke the group status,and
upon written notice of such determination,each manufactured home will be counted and billed as a
single-family residential structure going forward.
E. Commercial ERUs.
1. The minimum number of ERUs for commercial accounts shall be one ERU for each sewered structure.
Where a given commercial structure has multiple leasable tenant spaces with separate plumbing
fixtures,the minimum number of ERUs shall be one ERU for each leasable tenant space.
2. For a multiple-tenant commercial structure in which all leasable tenant spaces share common
plumbing fixtures(such as an office building with shared restrooms and shared kitchen facilities),the
minimum number of ERUs is defined as 0.5 multiplied by the number of leasable tenant spaces.For a
multiple-tenant commercial structure in which some leasable tenant spaces have separate plumbing
fixtures and others rely entirely on shared plumbing fixtures,the minimum number of ERUs is defined
as the number of leasable tenant spaces with any separate plumbing fixtures,plus 0.5 multiplied by the
number of leasable tenant spaces relying entirely on shared plumbing fixtures.
3. Where water consumption data can be obtained,the number of ERUs for an account shall be defined as
the greater of:(a)the minimum ERUs for that account,or(b)the account's total water consumption for
the previous year divided by the standard water consumption for single-family residential accounts,
rounded off to the nearest one-tenth of an ERU.
4. If actual monthly water consumption for a commercial account is not available,the number of ERUs for a
commercial account shall be based on the type and scale of business(es)occupying the parcel,applying
the categories shown in Figure B(below).The estimates in Figure B(below)may be updated as necessary
by the director to reflect actual experience with similar types of businesses in Belfair or updated
guidelines from state or federal governments,professional associations,or other utilities about standard
water consumption by property use.If Figure B is updated,the updated version will be published on the
county Web site.
5. When the categories in Figure B(below)are used to estimate the commercial ERUs for a given
commercial or mixed-use parcel with more than one sewered structure or more than one leasable tenant
space,the number of ERUs shall be the sum of the estimated ERUs for each leasable tenant space within
each sewered structure.Commercial leasable tenant spaces relying entirely on shared plumbing fixtures
shall be calculated as 0.5 times the number of ERUs shown in Figure B(below),with the total for the
entire account rounded off to the nearest one-tenth of an ERU.
6. For mixed-use parcels with both commercial and residential uses,where water consumption data is
available,the number of commercial ERUs shall be the greater of:(a)the minimum number of commercial
ERUs:or(b)the number of ERUs determined from the total water consumption for the entire parcel
minus the number of residential ERUs.
7. If a commercial account relies on a well for drinking water in place of being connected to a water system,
the categories in Figure B(below)shall be used to estimate its ERUs.If a commercial account relies partly
on a well and partly on the water system,metered water consumption shall be the basis of the ERU
calculation for those structures connected to the water system,and there shall be additional ERUs

Chapter 13.08 PUBLIC WORKS STANDARDS
calculated for structures receiving drinking water from a well,using Figure B(below).If a well is used only
for irrigation water,no ERUs will be assigned to water from that well.
8. Tentative ERUs.If water conservation improvements have been made to an existing structure that are
expected to reduce its impact on the sewer system,but there has not been enough time to demonstrate
the amount of the reduction,the director may assign a tentative ERU figure based on estimated water
use,provided that the property owner agrees to provide actual water consumption data for a long
enough period to establish a final ERU figure.Tentative ERUs may also be used for new development in
cases where,in the director's judgment,there is substantial uncertainty about the impact that a given
proposed development will have on the sewer system.The tentative ERU assignment shall be replaced by
a final ERU assignment as soon as there is a full year of valid water consumption data with the structure at
full occupancy.If the actual water consumption is greater than the level implied by the tentative ERU
figure,the property shall be charged the difference in both CFC and monthly sewer charges,dating back
to the month when the tentative ERU figure was first used,plus interest accrued at five percent per year.
If the actual water consumption is less than the level implied by the tentative ERU figure,the property
shall be refunded the difference in both CFC and monthly sewer charges,dating back to the month when
the tentative ERU figure was first used,plus interest accrued at five percent per year.
9. Changes in tenancy.If a commercial leasable tenant space becomes vacant,or its occupancy changes to a
new tenant,the property owner shall notify the department of the change within thirty days of the
change.This notification shall use a form to be determined by the department and shall include payment
of the ten dollar fee described in Section 13.31.090D.The notification shall contain sufficient information
about the new tenant for the department to determine the ERUs applicable to the account,using Figure B
(below).If the change in tenancy results in a changed ERU for the account,the change in monthly sewer
charges shall take effect with the next monthly bill.Vacant tenant spaces shall be counted at the
minimum ERU.If a property owner fails to notify the department within thirty days of a change in tenancy
that has the effect of increasing the ERUs for the account,the property owner shall be responsible for a
one hundred fifty dollar penalty,plus the difference in monthly sewer charges dating to the change in
tenancy,plus five percent interest per year on the outstanding difference in monthly sewer charges.

G. Capital Facilities Charges.The county shall charge a one-time CFC an amount that is reviewed and approved
by the Board of County Commissioners on an annual basis.
H. Monthly Sewer Charge.The county shall charge all parcels connected to the public sewer facilities a monthly
sewer charge:Monthly service charge rate will be reviewed and approved by the Board of County
Commissioners on an annual basis.The county shall bill the monthly sewer charge in the manner set forth in
Section 13.04.090,billing.

(Res.No.04-12,Exh.1,1-10-2012)
13.04.080 ERU updates,capacity rental charges,strength charges.
A. Updating ERU Estimates.
1. The number of ERUs used to calculate the monthly sewer charges for a given commercial or mixed-use
parcel will be updated on an annual basis and based upon the most recent data available on water
consumption.
2. If updated water consumption data is not available,historical metered water consumption data shall
take precedence over the estimated ERUs in Section 13.04.060F.—Figure B,as the basis of ERU
calculations;provided that the property use or intensity of development has not changed.In general,
absent a change in property use or intensity of development,the source of data of the commercial ERU
calculation is intended to be,in priority order:(1)immediate past year's metered water consumption;
(2)historical metered water consumption;and(3)Section 13.04.060F.—Figure B.
3. When property redevelopment or changes in tenant use increases the number of ERUs estimated for a
given parcel,the property owner shall pay a CFC consisting of the number of incremental ERUs
multiplied by the then-current CFC per ERU.
B. Capacity Rental Charges.
1. Regardless of whether there has been property redevelopment or changes in tenant use,if the most
recent annual water consumption information for a given commercial or mixed-use parcel is higher
than the water consumption determined by the number of ERUs for which CFCs have been paid,and if
the increase is at least the standard amount of water consumption currently defined as one ERU,then
the county may calculate an additional monthly charge equivalent to a CFC on the incremental ERUs.
This additional monthly charge shall be referred to as a"capacity rental charge."
Mason County,Washington,Code of Ordinances Created: 2021-12-29 14:27:41[EST]
(Supp.No.57,11-21)
Page 19 of 115
Title 13-UTILITIES
Chapter 13.08 PUBLIC WORKS STANDARDS
2. Property owners may at any time elect to buy additional ERUs of capacity rights(thus foregoing the
capacity rental charge)by paying a CFC at then-current rates for the incremental number of ERUs.
3. If the county adjusts the standard water consumption used to define one ERU,a"rebasing factor"will
be calculated and applied to the original number of ERUs of CFCs paid in order to create an adjusted
number of ERUs of CFCs paid for each property.The rebasing factor will be the old standard water
consumption divided by the new standard water consumption.For the purpose of implementing the
capacity rental charge,the number of ERUs for which a given property owner has purchased capacity
rights shall be defined as the greater of:(a)the number of ERUs of capacity rights after applying the
adiustment factor,or(b)the number of ERUs of CFCs actually paid.
4. Except as provided in Section 13.03.060E.8.,tentative ERUs,once a property has been connected to
the sewer,refunds of CFCs may be given only if there have been technical errors in the original ERU
calculation,and not for changes in water consumption.
C. Adjustments to Water Consumption Data.
1. If a property owner elects to install a deduct meter or an irrigation-only meter as approved by the
director at the property owner's own expense that measures irrigation-only use,the irrigation water
shall be subtracted from the annual water consumption upon which the ERUs are calculated.
2. Until January 1,2014,if a property owner requests an adjustment in the calculation of annual water
consumption due to seasonal irrigation,and if the parcel does not experience a summer seasonal peak
in indoor water consumption for that parcel,the county may,in its discretion,substitute the average
off-peak water consumption for the measured peak-month consumption when calculating the ERUs.
Unless usage patterns show otherwise,the peak season is assumed to be June—August.After January
1,2014,only deduct meters or irrigation-only meters will serve as the basis for adjusting water
consumption for irrigation.
3. In relying on the immediate past year's metered water consumption as the basis of ERUs for a given
parcel,the intent is to estimate the relative sewage flows from that parcel for the upcoming year.To
that end,the county may extrapolate from partial year data or use historical data when it appears that
the recorded water use data for the immediate past year is anomalous or incorrect.This extrapolation
is intended to address situations where there might have been leaks,stolen water,meter malfunctions,
or capital improvements during the year that will reduce water consumption for the upcoming year.
4. For commercial laundry facilities,the director may adjust the water consumption data used for
calculating ERUs to account for the percentage of water used in the washing machines that evaporates
in the dryers rather than being discharged to the sewer.This adjustment shall be based on the best
available research for the washing machines in use by the facility.
D. Strength Charges.
1. Based on the property use,commercial accounts or mixed-use accounts shall be classified as domestic
strength or high strength,using the estimates in Figure C(below).Residential accounts are estimated
to have between one hundred seventy-five and two hundred fifty parts per million(ppm)of both
biological oxygen demand(BOD)and total suspended solids(TSS).For commercial accounts or mixed-
use accounts."domestic strength"shall mean a concentration of BOD and TSS that is less than or equal
to five hundred ppm for both BOD and TSS."High strength"shall mean a concentration of either BOD
or TSS that is more than five hundred ppm for either BOD or TSS.
2. After the department develops standard best management practices for minimizing fats,oils,and
greases(FOG)and other components of high-strength sewage,commercial parcels that deliver high-
strength sewage shall be charged a"strength charge."The strength charge shall consist of twenty-five
percent of the regular monthly sewer charge based on the number of ERUs of flow.The strength
charge is intended to recover the additional system capacity and operating costs created by above-
average concentrations of BOD and TSS.
3. Businesses that give satisfactory ongoing evidence of compliance with the best management practices
specified by the utility will be exempt from the strength charge.

(Supp.No.57,11-21)
Page 20 of 115
Title 13-UTILITIES
Chapter 13.08 PUBLIC WORKS STANDARDS
4. If a parcel has multiple leasable tenant spaces,and some of the tenants are high strength,the strength
charge shall be prorated in proportion to the number of ERUs estimated for each leasable tenant
space.The sewer bill shall identify the strength charge and high-strength ERUs separately.
5. A business customer may appeal its strength classification to the county by paving for and providing to
the county sampling and lab testing to determine site-specific BOD and TSS loadings.The sampling and
testing shall be controlled and executed by the county at the time determined by the county,at the
customer's cost and expense.If the testing shows the sewage from the site to be below the high-
strength threshold for both BOD and TSS,then the strength charges shall be eliminated from future

13.04.090 Billing.
A. Definition of Accounts.Sewer accounts shall be defined primarily by the tax parcel for which sewer service is
to be provided.Where a given parcel has more than one water meter,service address,tenant,or structure,
the director or his designee may elect to treat the parcel as having more than one sewer account for billing
purposes;however,the ultimate responsibility for paving all sewer charges still rests with the property
owner.Where a given property owner owns more than one adjacent parcel,then the director or his designee
may treat the commonly owned parcels as one sewer account.
B. Timing of Billing.Billings shall be mailed prior to the tenth day of the month for which the monthly sewer
charge applies.With new connections,the timing of the initial monthly sewer charges depends on the date
of connection.If the property has been physically connected to the public sewer system as of the day the
sewer bills are mailed,it shall be charged for the entire month.If the property is connected after the day the
sewer bills are mailed,it shall not be charged until the following month.
C. Delinquent Charges and Liens.Delinquent charges and liens shall be defined and collected in the manner set
forth in 13.04.110,Enforcement.
D. Billings—To Whom Mailed.Billings may be mailed to the owner of the property,or his/her tenant,insofar as
the county may reasonably ascertain the same.Failure to receive such bills shall not relieve any person liable
therefore from the obligation to pay the same,nor the property receiving such service,or capable of
receiving such service,from such lien therefore as may thereafter attach to the property in the manner
provided by law.A fee of ten dollars shall be charged for any change in tenant,renter,ownership,or billing
address.
E. When Payments are Due.Monthly sewer charges shall be due and payable by the last day of the month for
which the bill is mailed.
F. Seasonal Disconnections Prohibited.Seasonal disconnections are prohibited.If a property disconnects its
sewer service,then in order to be reconnected to public sewer facilities,the property owner shall pay the
then-current CFC per Section 13.04.060G.and all other applicable county fees and charges for a new sewer
service.
G. Payment Priority.Payments received by the county shall be applied in the following order:(1)monthly sewer
charges,including strength charges,capacity rental charges,and late penalties;(2)interest on the
outstanding county sewer hook-up program debt;and(3)outstanding principal from the county sewer hook-
up program.

13.19.050 General policy.
It is the intention of this program to provide for the permanent abatement or control of all cross
connections.Where it is physically and economically infeasible to find or to permanently eliminate all cross
connection of the customers water systems,and when it is deemed necessary by the appropriate inspector,there
shall be installed at the service connection a suitable backflow prevention assembly commensurate with the
degree of hazard to the public water supply.
The following methods of cross connection control are considered minimum protection at the service
connection:
1. The public water supply to a premises having auxiliary water supply from an additional public supply
with no known cross connection shall require an approved DCVA at the service connection.
2. The public water supply to a premises on which is handled a substance that is objectionable(not a
health hazard)in a manner constituting a potential cross connection shall require a DCVA at the service
connection.
3. The public water supply to a premises on which there is an auxiliary water supply and internal cross
connections that are not correctable or intricate plumbing arrangements which make it impractical to
ascertain whether or not cross connection exist,shall require a RPBA at the service connection.
4. The public water supply to a premises on which material dangerous to health or toxic substances are
handled shall have installed a RPBA at the service connection.
5. The public water supply to a premises where entry is restricted so that inspection for cross connection
cannot be made at a sufficient frequency or sufficient short notice to assure that cross connection do
not exist shall have installed a ROBA at the service connection.
6. The public water supply to a premises on which any substance is handled under pressure so as to
permit entry into the public water supply,or where a cross connection could reasonably be expected
to occur,shall have installed a RPBA or DCVA,according to the health hazard at the service connection.
7. The public water supply to a premises having a repeated history of cross connections being established
or reestablished,shall have installed a RPBA at the service connection.
(Ord.No.94-12,12-4-2012)
13.19.060 Surveillance program.
The county is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that the public water supply is not compromised by
events resulting from cross connections.As such,a surveillance program based on proper management,adequate
record keeping,and aggressive inspections must be properly implemented by the county.
Such a program for cross connections initially requires the inspection of all new and existing buildings,
structures,and grounds.The procedure requires the county inspector(s)and the building inspector(s)to assist with
the requirements of DOH.Each must be knowledgeable in the field of plumbing and building inspection,pipe
arrangements,and cross connection control.
The systematic program of inspection shall be established with priority given on the basis of risk to public
health and shall be conducted according to the following outline:
A. New and Proposed Construction.

(Supp.No.57,11-21)
Page 47 of 115
1. Upon application for a building permit,the building inspector shall require a detailed set of plans
and specifications for the plumbing installations,and shall make such detailed plans and
specifications available to the county inspector.
2. The building inspector and the county inspector shall review these plans and specifications to
determine the probability of cross connections,the availability of the auxiliary water supplies,the
handling of substances which,if introduced into the water system,would constitute a health,
plumbing,or system hazard.If,upon review,it is determined that any of these conditions will
exist,the county inspector shall coordinate with the property owner to ensure such cross
connections are properly controlled,or eliminated.
3. During the construction phase of any new building,structure,or ground installations,and during
the regular plumbing inspections,the county inspector shall perform the required cross
connection control inspection.Upon completion of the inspection,but prior to the approval of
any water service connection,the county inspector shall advise the customer in writing that
further backflow preventing testing is,or is not required.The customer shall also be notified that
Washington State certified backflow assembly tester must test the backflow assembly,and that
the test report form completed by the certified tester must be received by the county inspector
prior to the regular use of the customer's water system.
4. Upon receipt of an application for new water service,but prior to the installation of such new
service,a cross connection inspection shall be made by the county inspector and required
backflow prevention assemblies shall be installed at the time the new service is installed.
B. Existing Buildings,Structures,and Grounds.
1. An initial survey of the water system customers shall be conducted by the county to determine if
any cross connections currently exist.The initial cross connection determination shall proceed
according to the following steps:
a. A survey form shall be sent to each customer explaining the program and stressing the
relationship between the cross connections and water-borne disease epidemics,types of
health hazards,and cross connections.The survey shall also include a brief questionnaire
with desired information,such as an auxiliary water supply,any chemicals used,and
certain types of fixtures installed.This survey shall be returned by the water system
customer to the county.
b. Based upon the responses received from the questionnaire,if the county determines that a
customer has a potential cross connection,a letter requesting an appointment for
inspection by the county inspector shall be sent to the water system customer.
C. Upon completion of the inspection,the county inspector shall orally brief the customer or
his/her representative of the inspection findings.
d. The county inspector shall prepare a written report for the water system customer and the
system manager that shall include the following information:
1. Complete identifying information contained in heading.
2. List of all potential or actual cross connections found,including the location and
options for method of control for each.
3. List of any industrial fluids,chemicals or other contamination liquids used or
pumped under pressure,the use of each,and an indication of the probability of
cross connection.

4. Any applicable drawings,sketches,blueprints,etc.used in support of the
inspection.
5. A summary of the findings of the inspection.
6. Recommendations for actions to be taken by the customer.
e. The system manager,upon completion of review of the report,shall prepare a letter to the
customer outlining the corrective action required,and the time period in which the
corrective action must be completed.A copy of this letter shall be sent to the customer
(return receipt requested),and a copy shall be maintained at the county.
f. When all required actions have been completed,the file copy of the completed actions
shall be placed in the county's cross connection control file.
g. Each premises required to be in compliance with the program shall be reinspected
annually,or more often if the degree of hazard so indicates.

Chapter 13.32 LATECOMER AGREEMENTS FOR UTILITY FACILITIES
13.32.010 Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to allow Mason County(county),pursuant to Chapter 35.91 RCW,to enter into
a latecomer agreement with an owner of real property(applicant or applicant's authorized agent)for the
installation of public utility facilities(improvements)as defined in section 13.32.020 herein.In order for the county
to execute a latecomer agreement,the applicant must meet the eligibility requirements set forth herein in section
13.32.030"eligibility for latecomer agreements".An applicant entering into a latecomer agreement with the
county shall be entitled to future reimbursement by the county of a portion of the connection charges received
from other property owners who subsequently benefit from installation of the improvements by the applicant.
Upon an applicant's request,the county shall execute a latecomer agreement with the applicant to install
improvements of adequate size,depth and accessibility to serve both the applicant's proposed or existing
development(development)and other properties within a county-approved utility improvement service area
(service area).Per the terms of the latecomer agreement,a portion of the connection charges paid by property
owners within the service area who subsequently connect to the improvements will be reimbursed to the
applicant to compensate the applicant for a portion of the cost of installing the improvements.
The goal of the latecomer agreement is to provide a means to reimburse applicants for costs that exceed
their own pro rata share of installing the improvements necessary to serve both the development and the
remainder of the service area without passing on any of the costs to the county or other property owners outside
the service area.Latecomer agreements shall be formulated so that the applicant is not reimbursed for any portion
of their own pro rata share of the costs of installing the improvements.
(Ord.No.67-14,att.A,11-18-2014)
13.32.020 Definitions.
The following definitions shall apply to terms used in this chapter only.All other terms not defined in this

latecomer agreement has been approved by all signatories and executed by the Mason County Board
of County Commissioners.
E. Upon execution of the latecomer agreement,the applicant must proceed with obtaining the permit for
the installation of the improvements and commence construction prior to the expiration of the
approved utility facilities plan.Unless extended by mutual agreement between the county and the
applicant,should the applicant's approved utility facilities plans expire prior to the initiation of
construction of the improvements,then the latecomer agreement shall be null and void.Should the
applicant's approved utilities facilities plan expire due to inactivity for one year then the latecomer
agreement shall be null and void.
F. Upon completion of construction and final acceptance of the improvements by the director,the
applicant shall transfer by bill of sale,the newly installed utility facilities to the county,free and clear of
all liens and debts,for inclusion into the county's utility systems as a public facility.
G. Within one hundred twenty days following the completion of construction of the facilities and
acceptance by the county,the applicant shall provide complete and itemized copies of all invoices for
costs related to construction of the facilities.The cost information provided by the applicant shall be
reviewed by the director to determine the total eligible construction cost.Certification of the costs and
authentication of the copies shall be made by the party providing the services and the applicant.Costs
not evidenced by an invoice shall not be included in the total eligible construction cost.Any costs not
previously identified in the approved engineer's estimate shall not be included in the total eligible
construction cost unless written authorization is received from the director.Construction costs which
exceed those identified in the approved engineer's estimate shall not be included in the total eligible
construction cost unless written authorization is received from the director.
H. Once the total eligible construction cost has been finalized,department staff will draft an amendment
to the executed latecomer agreement which will finalize the total eligible construction cost,the pro
rata share,and the total reimbursable construction cost.No reimbursement toward the applicant's
total reimbursable construction cost shall be made by the county until the improvements are accepted

by the director and the latecomer agreement has been amended to reflect the actual construction
costs.
I. The director agrees to reimburse the applicant up to the total reimbursable construction cost from the
eligible portion of connection charges collected from the properties within the service area until the
total reimbursable construction cost has been paid in full or until the term of the agreement expires.
Reimbursement payments made from the eligible portion of the connection charges collected from the
properties within the service area shall be made to the applicant within sixty days following collection
of the connection charges by the county or within sixty days following the execution of the amended
latecomer agreement,whichever is later.
J. No interest shall be paid on any unpaid balances of the total reimbursable construction cost for the life
of the latecomer agreement.

address during the term of the latecomer agreement.Any change of address notice submitted by the
applicant shall be sent by means of certified mail,return receipt requested to the department.Failure
to comply with notification requirements within sixty days of the specified time may result in the
county collecting any reimbursement of funds owed to the property owner under the contract.
(Ord.No.67-14,att.A,11-18-2014)
13.32.070 Denial of latecomer agreement.
Constructing excess capacity for utility facilities within county approved utility service areas can be an
efficient way to provide public facilities and can provide a public benefit if the applicant makes a good faith effort
to work within county code regulations.However,the county may deny a request for a latecomer agreement if the
applicant proposing the agreement is ineligible,insists on terms that are unlawful or inequitable,or negotiates in
bad faith.
(Ord.No.67-14,att.A,11-18-2014)

schedule;and the reasons supporting the alternative.
b. The County shall consider whether the number of customers affected is minimized;that
program participation is not adversely affected;whether there is substantial cost savings
due to the alternative schedule;whether an alternative collection schedule can result in
higher levels of participation and recycling;and other information presented by the hauler.
B. Recycling Collection Containers.
1. Collection companies shall provide one wheeled container of approximately ninety-six-gallons to
each of their single-family customers signed up for curbside collection.The containers shall be
made of durable plastic materials and manufactured using a maximum percentage of recycled
materials that meet specifications.

1. Criteria:Collection companies shall have a process in place to work cooperatively with residents
to tailor the single-stream recycling collection service to meet the needs of residents in situations
where:
a. Private driveways are inaccessible or incapable of withstanding the weight of collection
trucks and collection of recyclables or garbage cannot be provided under the approved
drive-in rate tariff for such situations;
b. Because of long,steep and/or winding driveways,a resident would have difficulty in
moving a large recycling container,manually or by vehicle,from their house to the public
access road for collection;
C. A resident could not provide a storage place to keep recycling or garbage containers at the
end of the driveway close to the public access road;
d. Truck access or container size is in any way otherwise restricted due to density and road
width or where outside container storage is limited by homeowners'association
covenants;or
