The undersigned, being the owner and/or authorized occupier of a property located within the Public Water Supply District No. 3 of Johnson county (hereinafter “District”), hereby makes application to said district for one wastewater connection, and if wastewater service is made available by said district, agrees to the following.
1: Prior to activation of any wastewater service to Applicant by District, Applicant will be required to pay a one-time wastewater connection tap fee at current published rate. This is a non-refundable fee that grants access to the public wastewater system.
2: Applicant agrees that no service connection will be made by anyone other than a professionally licensed installer. Installation will be completed per standards set forth by EPA, MoDNR, and the National Plumbing Code. Any deviation from the prescribed procedures and materials must be approved by the district before installation. District representative must be notified prior to connection and onsite to inspect.
3: Applicant will be responsible for all costs and expenses required for the installation and connection of the building wastewater from the dwelling to the public wastewater main. The owner shall compensate the district for any loss or damage that may directly or indirectly occur due to the installation of the building wastewater service line and tap.

5: Pay a minimum monthly charge for wastewater service from the time service is made available and pay for additional wastewater usage at the rate set out in the schedule adopted by the Board of Directors. Any changes made in the minimum charge and rate schedule by the Board of Directors shall become a part of this agreement as though fully set out herein. Locked off water meters serving the dwelling will not incur a monthly wastewater charge during the lock off period.
6: The District shall read the water meters and bill for wastewater according to current published rate. The payment of your wastewater bill will be due the 5th of the month. Failure to receive a wastewater bill does not negate your obligation to pay the bill by the 15th. When bills are not paid by the 1st of the following month, service may be disconnected without further notice. There will be a service fee charged at the current posted rate. If after business hours, the after hour service fee will be applied at the current posted rate.
7: If after wastewater service is made available, the same is discontinued or disconnected for any purpose, pursuant to the by-laws and rules and regulations of the District, reconnection shall be upon the conditions set out in the by-laws and the rules and regulations of the District.
8: Applicant understands that it is unlawful to discharge anything other than domestic waste into the public wastewater system. Applicant agrees they will not make connection of roof downspouts, foundation drains, areaway drains, or other sources of surface runoff or groundwater to a building wastewater or building drain which in turn is connected directly or indirectly to the District’s public wastewater system. Violators will be required to disconnect and/or remove the violation at their own expense. If violation(s) are not disconnected and/or removed violators shall be subject to penalty fines and/or disconnection from wastewater system.
9: Applicant agrees that they will not maliciously or willfully break, damage, deface, destroy or tamper with any equipment or structure which is part of the District’s wastewater system. Any person found vandalizing Public Water Supply District No. 3 property shall be prosecuted by law and District will seek payment for damages plus fees.
10: The undersigned agrees that they will not construct, plant, or cause to be placed within ten (10) feet of the wastewater mains, any obstacle of a permanent nature.

11: The laws of the state of Missouri, the by-laws of the district, and the rules & regulations of the district, as presently existing, and as may be amended from time to time are made a part of this agreement as though fully set out herein.
12: The District reserves the right, at any time, to discontinue service to protect itself against violations of its rules, or the laws of the State of Missouri, as well as against fraud or the illegal or unsafe use of wastewater or any appliances and appurtenances used therewith.
13: Applicant understands that the District is not responsible, in law or in equity, for the construction maintenance or repair of any pipeline, or any other fixture, appurtenance or appliance located on the applicant’s property. The District’s responsibility shall extend only from its public wastewater main line, which shall be located as close as possible to the property line of the Applicant.
14: The District shall not be responsible for the damages, compensatory, punitive or otherwise, for loss of service to Applicant or damage to Applicant’s property real or personal, as a result of any drought, failure or injury to the wastewater system, act of God, or any unforeseeable breakdown in the District’s public wastewater system.

16: This agreement shall not be effective until accepted by the District.
17: Applicant’s account is not assignable or transferable. This agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, successors, executors, administrators, and assigns of applicant and District.
18: The discontinuance of wastewater service to a residence for any reason shall not prevent the District from pursuing any lawful remedy by action at law or otherwise for the collection of monies due from the applicant. The undersigned agrees to pay the costs (at the time of billing) of the current collection agency used by the District. This amount will be added to the amount owed the District.
