ARTICLE VII. DEVELOPMENT SEDIGN GUIDELINES
SECTION 6.0 CONNECTION TO UTILITY SERVICES
6.2 Water Supply System
To further the intent of this Section, as well as orderly development of utilities, the Harnett County Department
of Public Utilities may require a larger water supply line than is typically required to ensure capacity for future
development.
6.2.1 Connection
A. Connection Requirement
Any development which is created after the adoption of this Section, and is located within that number of
feet of an existing County owned or operated water supply and distribution system as is specified in
Subsection "Distance Specification' below, whether the development is located within or without the service
area of an existing County owned or operated public water supply and distribution system, the developer
shall cause a water distribution system, meeting the standards herein specified, to be constructed and installed
in such development and shall further cause said water distribution system to be connected to the existing
County owned or operated public water supply and distribution system which is located as specified in said
Subsection "Distance Specification." This requirement also applies to new phases of existing development
where these phases have not been previously approved by the appropriate Harnett County Development
Review Board.
2. The developer may establish and create a public water supply system or connect the development to an
existing public water supply system. However, such created public water supply system or such water
distribution system to be connected to an existing system shall be approved by and meet the requirements of
all Federal, State, and local governments, including but not limited to the DENR.
B. Distance Specification
A development shall be required to meet the conditions of this Section when the development is located within
that number of feet of an existing County owned or operated water supply and distribution system which equals
the product of the number of lots within the development (including lots to be developed in the future) multiplied
by 100; provided however, that the maximum distance required for connection shall not exceed 5,000 feet.
C. Subject to Capacity Sufficiency
In the event that a development should meet the distance specification requirements of Subsection "Connection'
of this Section, and the County owned or operated water supply and distribution system to which the
development would connect shall be of insufficient capacity to permit the the delivery of water to said
development, the subject development shall be relieved of the requirement to connect to such County system.
In no case shall capacity be guaranteed until such time that plans have been approved and permitted by DENR
and system development fees are paid in full.

such County system. In no case shall capacity be guaranteed until such time that plans have been approved
and permitted by DENR and system development fees are paid in full.
