§ 19-140. Transfer of contributed property; bills of sale.

Each applicant who has constructed facilities on the applicant's property prior to interconnection with the existing facilities shall convey such component facilities as deemed appropriate by the county to the county by bill of sale or other appropriate document in a form satisfactory to the county. Such transfers of title via bill of sale to the county shall be free of all liens and encumbrances. The county shall not accept and the applicant shall not transfer any facilities in the category of consumer lines, plumber lines or consumer's installation located on the property owner's side of the point of delivery of service. Such facilities shall remain the maintenance responsibility of the applicant or subsequent user. The county shall not be required to accept title to any component part of the facilities as constructed by the applicant until the county engineer has approved the construction of such lines, verified the inspection of the construction, and accepted the test associated with the construction of such facilities. The applicant shall maintain accurate cost records, establishing a construction cost of all water and/or wastewater facilities and such cost information shall be furnished to the county concurrently with the bill of sale. The county may refuse connection and deny the commencement of service to any applicant seeking to be connected to portions of the facilities installed by the applicant until such time as provisions of this paragraph have been fully met by the applicant, or the applicant's successors or assigns.
