Please be advised of the following Service Connection Policy, adopted by the board of trustees on Feb. 14th, 2025:
GENELLE IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
POLICY TITLE: Service Connection Moratorium Policy
APPROVAL/REVIEW DATE: February 14, 2025
February 14, 2025
POLICY: The Genelle Improvement District (GID) Board of Trustees has taken the precautionary approach to place a moratorium on any increase to service connections within the District as of February 14, 2025, due to the incapacity of the current water delivery system to allow all ratepayers to develop their properties to the full extent permitted by applicable zoning.
PURPOSE: To provide the best balance toward protecting the current water delivery system for ratepayers in the long term by establishing guidelines toward the review and consideration of new service connection application/s during the current moratorium.
PROCEDURES:
1) Each property on the GID parcel tax roll, regardless of zoning, will be entitled to one ¾” (19mm) water service connection to either a single residential unit or a single commercial unit;
2) Where an application for new service is for a currently undeveloped property on the GID parcel tax roll, approval will be given for only one ¾” (19mm) water service connection to either a single residential unit or a single commercial unit;
3) Where an application for service is for the subdivision of an already serviced property on the GID parcel tax roll, consideration will be given to a new connection based on current zoning requirements for a minimum 2000m2 parcel size;
4) Where the application is for a new secondary suite or dwelling located on a property that is already serviced, the application will be denied;
5) Where the application is for the legalization of an existing secondary suite or dwelling, approval will be given only if proof is provided of the existence of the suite or dwelling prior to implementation of the moratorium on February 14, 2025;
6) Where an application is for a property not on the GID parcel tax roll, the application will be denied.
7) End of document
