Linda Fort,
The City of Winona charges either $17,000 per acre of
developable property if it is subdivided, or $10,000 per lot if it
existed prior to 10/01/01. This is for the access to water and sewer.
The individual service lines must be constructed and owned by the
property owner. Those lines are the ones that run from the trunk lines
in the street to the house. Some times when a project goes by a
property the service line will be stubbed out to the edge of the road.
That is intended to avoid tearing up the road in the future. At the
time of the property owners hook up they will be charged that cost as
well. This could be the case of your cousin. Your cousin can call me
and I will get the specific information for him or her.
With this policy any one who uses the water and sewer utility
will pay for that benefit rather than have all those costs spread to all
other utility users in the community. Those that do not hook up do not
pay any charges. The old policy was to run water and sewer to a
subdivision for no cost to the developer. That old policy was wisely
changed by the council a couple of years ago.
