1. Supply. All subdivisions of a property approved by the Town of Marysvale shall provide a permanent supply of potable water available to each lot within the subdivided property. It shall be the responsibility of each subdivider to comply with all engineering standards in the construction of a culinary water system, and each subdivided property’s culinary system must be fully developed and properly engineered to adequately serve all lots located therein. Any person seeking to subdivide property shall provide and transfer to Marysvale Town a sufficient and adequate supply of acceptable culinary water to service all subdivided lots seeking to be served by the Town’s water system. Hauling water to any lot as the primary culinary source shall be prohibited. 2. Approval of Water Right. Water quantity, quality, and distribution system plans shall be approved, in writing by Marysvale Town’s engineer, and all plans shall comply with the State of Utah Department of Environmental Quality and Divisions of Drinking Water. All water supplied by any person subdividing property must be transferred to the Town through a change application filed with the Utah Division of Water Rights, and a written memorandum decision must be received authorizing the transfer prior to approval of the subdivision. In addition, all water must have an acceptable priority date as determined by Marysvale Town or the Utah Division of Water Rights. Marysvale Town requires, each developer or other person who has subdivided property to provide sufficient water to address the impacts of the proposed development which shall be in such amounts per lot as are necessary and roughly proportionate to the impact caused by the proposed development as set forth hereafter in Section 3, Quantity Determination. 3. Quantity Determination. Marysvale Town shall base the amount of water required to service a subdivided property, through calculating the projected water interest requirements by considering the Town’s minimum system- wide sizing standards and the number of equivalent residential connections associated with the culinary water demand for the Town. The Town shall apply the lower exaction for development with the lower equivalent residential connections as demonstrated by the prior five years of usage data within Marysvale Town to determine the amount of water to be supplied to the Town. Marysvale Town shall make public the methodology used to determine the amount of water necessary to serve a lot within Marysvale Town and shall consider all additional information provided by a developer to ensure the water supply is properly assessed.
