§ 25-9-62. AMOUNT OF COST PARTICIPATION.
Tables 1 and 2 below set forth the percentage of cost participation in the hard costs of an oversized water or wastewater main. The percentage of cost participation is based on the increased percentage in pipe diameter due to oversizing established under Section 25-9-64 (Request for Cost Participation). Cost participation is determined by multiplying the percentage set forth in Table 1 and Table 2 by the hard costs of an oversized line.
(A)
The following table sets forth the amount of cost participation for the hard costs associated with an oversized water main:

Minimum Required Pipe Diameter for the Property (inches) Percentage of Cost Participation Based on Oversized Pipe Diameter 8 12 16 24 30 36 42 48 8 0% 33% 50% 66% 73% 78% 81% 83% 12 - 0% 25% 50% 60% 66% 71% 75% 16 - - 0% 33% 47% 56% 62% 66% 24 - - - 0% 20% 33% 43% 50% 30 - - - - 0% 17% 29% 37% 36 - - - - - 0% 14% 25% 42 - - - - - - 0% 12% 48 - - - - - - - 0% (B)
The following table sets forth the amount of cost participation for the hard costs associated with an oversized wastewater main:

The amount of cost participation for hard costs for pump stations, reservoirs, wastewater treatment plants, lift stations, force mains and other facilities will be calculated on the percentage of oversizing of the treatment capacity or pumping capacity.
(D)
The amount of cost participation for soft costs may not exceed 15% of the hard costs calculated under subsections (A), (B) and (C) of this section.
(E)
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstance shall cost participation under this section exceed the amount authorized by council, unless council provides authorization for additional cost participation.
