hereby amended at Section IV, paragraphs ld., A-3 and B-2, to read as follows:
ld. An applicant for service from a fire hydrant where water is
placed in a tank truck or other container shall place a meter
deposit with the City of North Richland Hills, the amount to be
specified by the Director of Finance. Fire hydrant meters are
designed for use in construction projects, the exact location of
which will be required on the application. Each applicant shall
be required to return the meter to the Billing Department for a
reading each month, before the 30th of said month. Should an
applicant fail to provide a reading, he shall be billed a minimum
of $100.00 per month. The minimum bill for 0-16,000 gallons
shall be $48.00. The rate of water from 16,000 gallons will be
$3.00 per 1,000 gallons. Contracts for fire hydrant meters will
be valid for six (6) months at which time applicant must renew
his contract or forfeit his deposit. Applicant shall hold each
meter as a bailee under contract to return same at the end of
stated period.
The deposit will be refunded, or in event a balance is due, applied
against the final bill for services required upon termination of the contract.
The City will not pay interest on meter deposit funds.
This policy, procedure and specified change shall take effect on
September 1, 1983.
A-3. At locations where only a partial connection has been previously
paid for or installed, including only the tap, service line or
curb stop and setter, the applicant for service shall pay (in
addition to the meter deposit) the cost of completing the Service
Connection with meter and box, which costs are non-refundable.
For all services 3/4" through 6", an estimate of the cost plus
$50.00 for each living unit for the connection will be provided
by applicant and a deposit of the estimated amount will be
required before work is started on the installation of such
connection. Should the final cost of the work exceed the amount
of the deposit, a statement showing the amount of the excess will
be immediately furnished to the person having made the deposit,
and this amount will be due before water service is actually
begun. Should the final cost be less than the amount of the
estimate or deposit, a refund of over payment will be immediately
made to the person from whom the deposit was received. THis
refund does not pertain to the living unit cost. The above cost
shall be less 10% for multi-family where the living units exceed
12 units.

require the extension of Lateral Sewers or other Sewer Mains as
defined under Point of Service to serve a new single customer,
the charge for the right to connect to the system shall be Three
Hundred Five Dollars ($305.00) for each living unit. Except in a
developed subdivision where a developer has paid for the
installation of sewer facilities then the charge shall be Fifty
Dollars ($50.00) for each living unit. The above cost shall be
less 10% for multi-family where the living units exceed 12 units.
