  • A.

    Compound usage taps shall be permitted for residential condominiums or townhomes in the city if the owner of the realty projected for residential condominium or residential townhome development submits to the city, prior to site plan approval, a declaration containing a covenant running with the land and binding upon the owner's heirs, successors and assigns, that a homeowner's association consisting of the owners of each residential condominium or residential townhome unit shall be jointly and severally responsible for the water rents and rates attributable to the development and any subsequent repairs or maintenance of the lines for the entire subdivision plat or site plan. All such charges for residential condominium or residential townhome developments containing more than two residential condominium or residential townhome units shall be based upon such rates and development fees applicable to multi-family residential service or as otherwise provided by ordinance. Discontinuance of service for nonpayment of such water rents and rates by the association shall be imposed upon the entirety of the residential condominium or residential townhome development sharing the compound tap, and any lien for such rents and rates as set forth in section 14.04.270 shall attach to the individually owned residential condominium or residential townhome units, as well as the general and limited common elements of the development in common use.
