§ 20.12.140. Modification of provisions authorized when.

A.

If at the conclusion of such hearing the water appeals board finds that any provision of this Division 1, or of Section 307 of Ordinance 2225, the Building Code, or any order of any officer pursuant to this Division 1 would, if enforced, cause unnecessary hardships or practical difficulties inconsistent with economic feasibility or normal development, or would do manifest injustice, or would impose a burden upon any person disproportionate to any benefit to the general public, or would be contrary to the spirit and purpose of this Division 1 or public interest, it may vary the application of the provisions of this Division 1 or such order to the extent necessary to avoid such results. The water appeals board shall specify the reasons for its decision.

B.

Where the requirements of a customer are such that a water utility can not supply such requirements without adding to or increasing its water system, upon the request of such customer or such water utility the water appeals board may recommend as to what proportion of the costs should be borne by such customer and by such water utility.
