13-1-2: WATER AND/OR SEWER TAP-ON/INSPECTION FEES:
   A.   Each application for tap-on to a water main shall be accompanied by a tap-on/inspection fee of five hundred dollars ($500.00). Each application for a tap-on to a sewer main shall be accompanied by a fee of one hundred seventy five dollars ($175.00). These fees are established to defray the cost to the village for the employment of qualified personnel to carry out the inspection of the water or sewer tap-on and shall not be part of the connection fee authorized by statute.
   B.   The inspection will determine that the construction thereof is in accordance with specifications established by the village for the regulation for these systems. The water and/or sewer inspection fee shall be uniform with regard to each physical connection into either system without regard to the size of connection or the number or type of units which the single connection shall serve. Each applicant shall provide and pay the cost of construction, both labor and material, of the service and fittings from the main to the premises to be served. The construction work in connection with the installation of said service shall be performed by a licensed plumber who has a properly executed bond on file in the office of the village clerk. Applicants shall purchase water meters and fittings from the village. The fee to the applicant shall be the village's cost plus a fifteen percent (15%) administrative and handling fee.
   C.   The aforementioned water and sewer service from the building to the curb stop and the sewer to the building from the sewer main are the full responsibility of the property owner or occupant. Should any maintenance be required on either the water service or sewer service, it shall be the sole responsibility of the owner or occupant. Should it be necessary for the village to repair the system due to the refusal by the owner or occupant, any and all costs, including attorney fees, shall be the responsibility of the owner or occupant. The village shall have the option to collect the money directly or to place a lien on the property. In addition to the aforementioned remedies by the village, the penalty provision of title 1, chapter 3 of this code shall also control. (Ord. 05-12-27, 12-19-2005)

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:
