A. Connection Fees: Pursuant to authority granted in 65 Illinois Compiled Statutes 5/11-150-1 and on authority contained in other provisions of the state statutes, there is established within the village a fee for connecting into the waterworks system or sewerage system of the village. This fee is to be assessed against new or additional users of the sewage collection and treatment system or the water system of the village and shall be known as a connection fee. The fee shall be payable at the time a building or connection permit is issued. The amount of the connection fee shall be comprised of several component fees. The basic component fee shall be a sum fixed within this section to be designated as the water connection fee, or sewer connection fee. If the building plans do not indicate an accurate estimate of the volume and/or strength of the usage, the applicant shall pay an additional fee based on the most accurate estimate which can be made upon the plans submitted. At the time that the sewer and/or water connection is in full use, a reevaluation of the volume and/or strength of the usage shall be made and if necessary an adjustment of the fees shall be made. This reevaluation shall be made within one year of the date at which the operation, in the opinion of the superintendent of the waterworks and sewerage system, shall have reached its full use.
B. Water Connection Fee: The connection fee shall be twenty dollars ($20.00) per population equivalent plus an additional fee determined by adding together the basic component fees which are applicable to each new or additional user of the system, the sum of which shall constitute the total connection fee. The several component fees are established as follows:
1. Fee According To Size Of Tap: The water connection fee shall be based on the size of the water tap. This fee shall reimburse the village for a portion of the waterworks system previously constructed by the village which the applicant now seeks to utilize. The schedule of taps and fees shall be as follows:
Size Of Tap (In Inches)
| Fee |
Size Of Tap (In Inches)
| Fee | |
1 or less | $2,000.00 | |
11/2 | 2,250.00 | |

The sewer connection fee shall be for each unit for which there is an individual sanitary sewer service, a basic fee of two hundred seventy five dollars ($275.00) per population equivalent, plus one thousand nine hundred dollars ($1,900.00) per unit. This fee shall reimburse the village for a portion of the sewerage system previously constructed by the village which the applicant now seeks to utilize.
However, in any instance in which the volume and/or strength of sewage from a single commercial, institutional or industrial user shall be greater than a population equivalent of thirty (30) and with regard to those instances in which the village, at its discretion, shall agree to provide sewerage service to an area outside of its corporate limits, the sewer connection fee for such user or users shall be determined by the volume and nature of the wastewater to be treated, but in no case less than three thousand eight hundred dollars ($3,800.00).
2. The fees described above, except as otherwise provided, pertain to each detached single-family residential, attached single-family residential (such as townhouses), commercial or industrial connection.
