O~<:nve: To receive direction for the development of an amendment to Ordinance Number
2001-73, the CoUier,CountyWater-Sewer District Uniform Billing, .Operating, and Regulatory
Standards Ordinance, to provide clarification and revise administrative procedures.
CONSIDERA nONS: . On December 11, 2001, the Board of County Commissioners (Board)
adopted Ordinance Number 2001-73, the Collier County Water-Sewer District Uniform Billing,
Operating, and Regulatory Standards Ordinance (Ordinance), The Ordinance repealed prior

The Ordinance is outdated and its provisions have not been updated in any significant waY in
over ten years. The goal is to remove ambiguous language to better serve ,the ColIierC<>unty .
Water-Sewer District (CCWSD) customer base, and to clearly identify the responsibilities of the
CCWSD and property owners thatreceive potable water, sewer, and reclaimed water services.
The primary drivers for developing the amendment are:
1. changing business conditions thatimpactproperty owners;
2. provision for exceptions to connection for water and sewer services; and
3. incorporating references to cross connection control devices being installed as part of a
major program to protect public health and safety.
Staff recommends developing an amendment that includes, but is not limited to,
· reference to cross connection control devices that are installed in association with all
potable water meters on a property, and remain the property of the .CCWSD, and must
remain accessible at all times; . .
· enhanced.language holding a property owner liable for damage to CCWSD equipment to
ensure that health and safety risks are minimized;
· clarification that on transfer of ownership, the new property owner is responsible for
requesting an Estoppel Letter from the Public Utilities Division to identify any
outstanding balances on the utility account associated with the property;
· clarification of exceptions to connection to the sewer collection facilities, and the
application of sewer base charges;
· a provision for discontinuance. of water and sewer services when all improvements and
structures ona property have been demolished and removed;

Ms. Karyln Solis,
While reviewing the ordinances from last year, I noticed
that Ordinance 2006-27 has the wrong information on the
certification page. It references Ordinance 2006-26, instead
of 2006-27. We sent you the correct Ordinance, the
information on the certification page is incorrect. If you
could attach this letter to the Ordinance's certification page
to explain the mistake. I am also inclosing a copy of
Ordinance 2006-27 so you can reference it. Thank you and
please contact me if you have any questions.
