Should any property owner, lessor or developer of any property outside the village limits request the village to extend its municipal sanitary sewer or water supply so as to serve their property, then, prior to any hookup to the municipal sewer and water facilities, the property owner must agree to the following:
A. If the property owner is contiguous to the village, he is required to file a petition to annex his property to the village.
B. If the property owner is not contiguous to the village then the property owner must enter into a written agreement with the village that when they become contiguous, they will petition to annex into the village. A form of the agreement is attached to ordinance 91-3-13, passed March 25, 1991.
C. In addition, the requesting property owner must pay for all costs for hooking up to the sanitary sewer system and municipal water supply including any fees, costs of extending sewer and water lines, engineering costs, legal fees, annexation fees and any other fees requested by the village to connect onto the sanitary sewer and water supply of the village. (1976 Code § 52.018)
A. Subsoil Drains: Where subsoil drains are used to surround the outer walls of a building, they may be made of corrugated plastic drainage tubing and fittings, not less than four inches (4") in diameter. When the building is subject to backwater, the subsoil drain shall be protected by an accessibly located backwater valve. Subsoil drains may discharge in a properly trapped area drain or sump. Where a storm sewer is provided, the subsoil drain will connect directly to the storm sewer. (1976 Code § 52.015)
B. Sump Pump Discharge:
1. Any new subdivision or planned unit development shall provide for all newly constructed buildings a sump pump discharge line which shall be connected to a storm sewer, where said storm sewer is located within easements or rights of way immediately adjacent to the lot in question.
2. In existing subdivision or planned unit developments already approved by the village which have developed lots or vacant lots, said subdivisions or planned unit developments shall provide on newly constructed buildings for connection to the storm sewers, as long as said storm sewers are adjacent to the lot. If it is impractical to connect to the existing storm sewer because of expense or lack of proper hookup facilities, then the sump pump discharge lines can be located on the surface of the lot at minimum distance from the property lines as determined by the setback and side yard requirements for that principal structure or ten feet (10'), whichever is greater. The department of public works shall determine whether it is too expensive or impractical to hook the sump pump discharge line to the storm sewer. (1976 Code § 52.019)
C. Lawn And Landscape Sprinkler Systems: Prior to the installation of any lawn sprinkling system a permit from the village must be obtained. The permit fee shall be not less than fifty dollars ($50.00) and may increase based upon the number of inspections. The installation of said lawn and landscaped sprinkling systems must be in accordance with all state statutes and local ordinances, and the like. (1976 Code § 52.017)
D. Prohibited Drainage: Stormwater shall not be drained into sewers intended for sanitary sewers only. (1976 Code § 52.016)
A. On or after the effective date of this section, the use or attempt to use as a potable water supply groundwater from within the area described below and depicted in division C as the restricted groundwater zone, within the corporate limits of the village, by the installation or drilling of wells or by any other method is hereby prohibited.

There are hereby established rates and charges for the use of the services supplied by the combined waterworks and sewerage system of the village, based upon the amount of water consumed, as shown by water meters as follows:
A. Users Within Corporate Limits:
1. Water Service Charge Bimonthly: For each residential, commercial, industrial and municipal user of the water service of the combined waterworks and sewerage system, there shall be a bimonthly charge or rate based upon the amount of water consumed each bimonthly period as follows:
The minimum charge for water service applicable to each single metered account shall be twelve dollars ($12.00) each bimonthly period and six dollars ($6.00) each bimonthly period for each additional unit served through a single connection.
Metered water flow charges shall be two dollars fifty eight cents ($2.58) per each one thousand (1,000) gallons used effective August 1, 2013. On each subsequent August 1, the rate will increase by three percent (3%) to meet the needs of the increasing operating costs without the need of further action by the corporate authorities.
2. Sewer Service Charges Bimonthly: For each residential, commercial, industrial and municipal user of the sewer service of the combined waterworks and sewerage system, there shall be a bimonthly sewer charge based upon the amount of water consumed each bimonthly period. This bimonthly sewer charge shall consist of two (2) separate components, being a minimum charge and a user rate. The user rate is divided into two (2) service areas, one serviced by the Antioch municipal wastewater treatment plant and one serviced by the Lake County public works wastewater treatment plant.
a. Minimum Charges: The minimum charge applicable to each additional unit served through a single sewer tap shall be fifty percent (50%) of the charge applicable to single metered connections. These are calculated as follows:
Each Metered User
| Each Additional Unit
|
$26.00 | $13.00 |
b. Bimonthly User Rates:
(1) West Service Area: In the west service area, metered water flow charges shall be four dollars twelve cents ($4.12) per each one thousand (1,000) gallons effective August 1, 2013. Each subsequent year the rate will increase by three percent (3%) to meet the needs of the increasing operating costs without the need of further action by the corporate authorities.
(2) East Service Area: In the east service area, metered water flow charges shall be four dollars twelve cents ($4.12) per each one thousand (1,000) gallons effective August 1, 2013. Each subsequent year the rate will increase by three percent (3%) to meet the needs of the increasing operating costs without the need of further action by the corporate authorities. Additionally, in the event the Lake County department of public works increases its treatment fees, the rate will increase proportionally to those increases without the need of further action by the corporate authorities.
c. Appropriation Of Funds:
(1) East Service Area: The bimonthly sewer charges for sewer service applicable to each single metered connection in the east service area shall be received as restricted funds to be used for the following:
(A) To pay fixed expenses applicable to the operation and maintenance and replacement of the sewer collection system;
(B) To pay the treatment charges imposed by the Lake County department of public works.
(2) West Service Area: The bimonthly sewer charges for sewer service applicable to each single metered connection in the west service area shall be received as restricted funds to be used for the following:

(B) To pay fixed expenses applicable to the operation and maintenance of the wastewater treatment plant; and
(C) To pay a proportional share of any applicable annual debt service requirements of bonds or loans applicable to the water treatment plant.
B. Users Outside Corporate Limits:
1. Each user of the combined system of the village located outside the corporate limits shall be billed at the rate of two hundred percent (200%) of the rate charged to properties within the corporate limits as set out in subsection A of this section.
2. For those properties served by the Oakwood Knolls Water Association the minimum charge for water service applicable to each single metered account shall be twelve dollars ($12.00) each bimonthly period and six dollars ($6.00) each bimonthly period for each additional unit served through a single connection. Metered water flow charges shall be billed at the rate charged to properties within the corporate limits as set out in subsection A of this section.
C. Water Service Only: For each user of the water service only of the combined system within the corporate limits there shall be a bimonthly charge based upon the amount of water consumed each bimonthly period as follows:
Each one thousand (1,000) gallons at two dollars fifty eight cents ($2.58) per one thousand (1,000) gallons.
Metered water flow charges shall be two dollars fifty eight cents ($2.58) per each one thousand (1,000) gallons used effective August 1, 2013. On each subsequent August 1, the rate will increase by three percent (3%) to meet the needs of the increasing operating costs without the need of further action by the corporate authorities.
The minimum charge for water service only shall be twelve dollars ($12.00) each bimonthly period.
D. Sewer Service Only: For each nonmetered user of the sewerage system within the corporate limits there shall be a flat rate charge of eighty six dollars ($86.00) each bimonthly period. The flat rate charge is computed in the following manner:
Basic user charges | $16.00 |
Debt service charge | 10.00 |
Usage rate to 15,000 gallons | 60.00 |
Total nonmetered use | $86.00 |
On August 1, 2014, and on each subsequent August 1 thereafter, the usage rate will increase by three percent (3%) to meet the needs of the increasing operating costs without the need of further action by the corporate authorities.
In the event usage of the wastewater facilities is determined to be in excess of fifteen thousand (15,000) gallons per bimonthly period, the village may require such flat rate user to install metering devices on the water supply or sewer main to measure the amount of services supplied.
E. Multiple-Unit Users: A "multiple-unit user" is defined as any additional number of family or commercial units located on the same premises, or being served through a single water meter or sewer connection, where there are no separate water meters for each unit, such as apartment buildings, more than one commercial unit in the same building, or commercial and residential units located in the same building. In all such cases, there shall be an additional basic user charge and debt service charge for each additional unit provided with water and sewer service and served by the single connection. The additional charges applicable to the number of units served through the single connection shall be added to the single metered connection for services.
F. The corporate authorities may, by ordinance and subject to such conditions or requirements as they deem necessary, waive or reduce the water service charge and/or the sewer service under this section why they determine that the public interest will be served by such waiver.
(Ord. 13-12-24, 12-16-2013; amd. Ord. 24-05-28, 5-8-2024)
