As part of the development review processes, infrastructure improvements may be required to bring existing water and sewer mains up to Raleigh Water standards to account for the impacts to the system. All standard size mains and services in new subdivisions shall be installed by the developers. Those utilities less than 12 inches in size located outside the corporate limits will be paid for by the developer and are not reimbursable.
Inside the City limits, the City will be responsible for extending the facilities, or reimburse the developer for extending mains to the property, provided City reimbursement policy is followed. If the proposed subdivision is inside the corporate limits, or if it is agreed that the area will be annexed, and over-sized mains are installed, then the City will pay the cost differential between a 6-inch and 8-inch main for water, between an 8-inch and 10-inch main for sewer, and between a 4-inchand 6-inch for reuse, provided that the extra size is not needed to serve that particular development.
After completion and acceptance of the utility work, the developer shall furnish an itemized list of the costs to be reimbursed within 1 (one) year of the acceptance date. The Reimbursement rates are based upon the current Development Fee Guide.
Please note that any Reimbursement over $250,000.00 must undergo the public bidding process.
