Current

			 2024
(A) If and when at
			 any time during the term of a main extension agreement involving refundable
			 advances in aid of construction pursuant to rule
			 4901:1-15-30
			 of the Administrative Code, the owner(hereafter referred to as the subsequent
			 applicant) of any lot abutting the main extension, who was not a party to the
			 main extension agreement, requests service, the waterworks company and/or
			 sewage disposal system company shall collect in advance from each such
			 subsequent applicant funds equal to the total foot frontage of the lot to
			 receive service multiplied by the per-foot frontage charge.
(1) The per-foot frontage charge shall be
			 determined by dividing the total refundable amount of the advance in aid of
			 construction by the total foot frontage of the lots capable of receiving
			 service from the extension.
(2) In
			 the event that the total of the amount already refunded under paragraph (K) of
			 rule
			 4901:1-15-30
			 of the Administrative Code, plus the subsequent applicant's fee calculated
			 under paragraph (A) of this rule exceeds the total refundable amount of the
			 advance in aid of construction, the amount collected from the subsequent
			 applicant shall be the difference between the total refundable amount of the
			 advance in aid of construction and the cumulative amount refunded under
			 paragraph (K) of rule
			 4901:1-15-30
			 of the Administrative Code.
(3)
			 The waterworks company and/or sewage disposal system company shall refund money
			 collected pursuant to this paragraph to the parties to the main extension
			 agreement, or to their assignees or other successors in interest where the
			 company has received notice of such assignment or succession in proportion to
			 their original deposits. This refund shall be in addition to that provided for
			 in paragraph (K) of rule
			 4901:1-15-30
			 of the Administrative Code.
(4)
			 The waterworks company and/or sewage disposal system company shall enter into a
			 written agreement with the subsequent applicant.
(5) Refunds of subsequent applicant fees made
			 pursuant to this rule shall be made in accordance with this method. The
			 waterworks company and/or sewage disposal system company shall pay each year to
			 the subsequent applicant, or to that party's assignees or other successors in
			 interest where the company has received notice of such assignment or
			 succession, an amount equal to twenty per cent of the total gross annual
			 revenue from water or sewage service to each bona fide subsequent applicant
			 whose service line is connected to main or extension lines covered by the main
			 extension agreement. Refunds will terminate when the entire amount of the
			 subsequent applicant's fee has been refunded or when the cumulative amount
			 refunded pursuant to paragraph (K) of rule
			 4901:1-15-30
			 of the Administrative Code equals the refundable amount of the advance in aid
			 of construction, or until fifteen years after the date of the main extension
			 agreement, whichever is earliest. Agreements under this rule may provide that
			 any unrefunded balance remaining at the end of the fifteen year period shall
			 still remain payable, in whole or in part, and in such manner as is set forth
			 in the agreement. A balance remaining at the end of the fifteen year period
			 shall otherwise become nonrefundable.
