Council adopts ordinance easing sewer connection fees for prompt hookups
Summary
The council adopted Ordinance 2025-4 amending Title 13, Chapter 6 so property owners notified that city sewer is available within 100 feet who connect within 365 days will have the connection fee waived; the ordinance was read in summary and approved in council vote.
Preston City Council adopted Ordinance 2025‑4, changing the city’s sanitary sewer connection rules to allow a property owner to connect at their own expense if city sewer becomes available within 100 feet and to waive the connection fee if the owner connects within 365 days of notice.
Councilman Terry Larson introduced the ordinance and asked the clerk to read a summary. City Clerk Linda Aycock read the ordinance language describing the 100‑foot proximity rule, the 365‑day connection window for a waived fee, infraction penalties for violations, and the effective date. After a motion and second, the council conducted a roll call and approved the ordinance.
The ordinance amends Title 13, Chapter 6 of the city code to clarify connection responsibility and establishes a narrow waiver for owners who act within a year of written city notice. Council members said the amendment arose from prior discussions and committee work on sewer policy.
