1. Water mains will be extended within the city limits without charge for q
distance of fifty (50) feet from present main locations for each actual consumer.
Such extensions shall be made upon the petition of each actual consumer who shall
apply for and contract to use water for two (2) years or more.
2. In the case of extensions in excess of fifty (50) feet, undeveloped area
and vacant lots, the owner or interested parties are required to deposit with the
Water Works the estimated cost of construction of the main extension based upon the
cost of a six inch main, excluding street intersections. Upon the completion of th
installation of the extension requested, the Water Works will furnish the depositor
a statement showing the actual cost of the installation. In the event the actual
cost is less than the amount deposited, the Water Works will return to thh deposito ,
without interest, the difference between the amount deposited and the actual cost.
In the event the actual cost of the installation exceeds the amount deposited with
the Water Works, the depositor shall make a further deposit with the (dater Works
of the difference between the actual cost and the amount deposited.
3. The extension will be inspected on or about the first day of January and
the first day of July of each year and a refund to the original depositor of the
cost of fifty (50) feet of six inch main will be made for each metered connection

the extension and such refunds can be earned for a period of ten (10) years from
the date of the completion of the work.
4. The size of mains to be used in the construction of extensions shall be
determined by the Paducah Water Works. In the event the Water Works determines tha
a main larger than six inches is necessary then the Water Works will pay the
difference between the actual cost pf the six inch main and the larger main.
5. Whenever the Water Works shall determine that it would be to the best
interests of its water distribution system to construct a water main extension
the Water Works may, with the approval of the Board of Commissioners of the City
of Paducah:, construct such extension without the filing of any petition or with-
out the making of any advance payments or deposits.
