§ 28-154. Computing public property use fees.

The annual fee for use of the street, right-of-way or other public property of the city for the locating or maintaining of any pipeline shall be computed as follows:

(1)

The basic rate for the laying locating or maintaining of any pipeline for the transporting of any substance, solids, liquids, gases, within the public right of way or easement of the city shall be one dollar ($1.00) per lineal [linear] foot of pipe up to and including six (6) inches in diameter, plus ten cents ($0.10) per inch of nominal diameter per lineal [linear] foot over and above six (6) inches in diameter.

(2)

This basic rate shall also apply to road and street crossings.

(3)

The rate for multiple lines is to be calculated at the basic rate times the number of lines.

(4)

The basic rate shall not apply to vaults, manholes, valve boxes or similar appurtenances as such, provided, however, that lineal [linear] foot charges as prescribed in [subsection (1), above, shall be computed continuously through any such structure along a straight center line projected between the connection orifice(s) of a pipe in such structure.
