Workshop Topics for Developers:

1. Are you in favor of shared utilities? How would that impact your development business?
2. Have you worked in other cities that allow shared utilities? What was your experience?
3. Would you propose sharing both Sewer and Water?
4. Would you propose using a sub-meter to track water usage per household so the residents can split the cost appropriately?
5. How should we ensure that the City is properly paid for its water and sewer services?
6. If a ULS (“Unit Lot Subdivision”) is used to divide a lot into two separate individually-owned properties with shared Sewer and separate Water, how would that be billed? (Note: Sewer and Water are typically billed on one statement.)
7. How would you propose the homeowners deal with the cost of repairs on shared lines?
8. How would you propose to ensure that shared side sewers do not involve the City in neighbor conflicts?
