A. Applicants for new water service installations shall pay to the director of finance and budget or his designee the installation charges as provided below which payment shall be made prior to such installation being commenced:

Three-quarter-inch service pipe with
five-eighths-inch by three-quarter-inch
meter
$885.00
One-inch service pipe with one-inch
meter
935.00

The installation charge for a new water service where a meter larger than one-inch diameter is to be installed shall be an amount adequate to pay all costs of materials and installation as computed by the manager or his designee.
B. Deposits. In the event an applicant requests five or more water service installations (size three-quarter-inch service pipe with a five-eighths-inch by three-quarter-inch meter or a one-inch service pipe with a one-inch meter) in the same subdivision and such installations do not require excavation of paved streets, the director of finance and budget or his designee may accept a deposit equal to sixty percent of the charge set in subsection A of this section as a deposit for each such installation; provided, however, that the remainder of the charges shall be paid by the applicant prior to the installation of a water meter by the city of Yakima on each such installation. If the charges in subsection A of this section have increased at the time the remainder of the charges are due, the applicant shall pay the director of finance and budget or his designee the difference between the deposit paid and the charges then in effect.
