A. A permit review and inspection fee in accordance with the current fee schedule for sewer permit shall be paid to the village at the time the residential application is filed. Permit review costs for non-residential permits will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the VE.
B. An inspection fee in accordance with the current fee schedule shall be paid for any additional inspections. This includes but is not limited to inspections of sampling manholes, flow metering or sampling equipment, garbage grinders, grease, oil and sand interceptors, and grease interceptors.

1. For uses involving extra strength wastewater:
a. The VE may require industrial or commercial sewer users to report to the VE concentrations and flow rates of wastewater discharged to the village collection system. For wastewater the strength of which exceeds normal domestic wastewater in any constituent the fees shall be based as follows. In the event that the wastewater exhibits a ratio of BOD5 to COD of less than 0.3, the BOD5 population equivalent will be calculated on the basis of one third (1/3) of the COD value. A permit connection fee then will be charged on the basis of the impact on the POTW as the equivalent of the highest population equivalent of the three (3) parameters: flow, BOD5, TSS or phosphorus.
b. When the volume and strength of the wastewater to be discharged to the public sanitary sewers is not known at the time of the connection, the fee shall be estimated and adjusted to reflect actual conditions during the billing period just prior to a full year of operation.
c. The volume and strength of the wastewater for fee purposes shall be the reasonable maximum daily discharge of constituents.
d. When a connection is made based on the applicant's statement that the strength of the wastewater does not exceed normal domestic wastewater in any constituent, and at the end of the billing period just prior to a full year of operation it is determined that the wastewater does exceed domestic wastewater in strength, the VE may accept or reject the wastes and backcharge the applicant for fees plus penalties for the extra strength waste or have the service disconnected and the premises closed.
D. Properties Outside Of Corporate Limits:
1. The connection fee calculated using the strength determination for any user not located within the corporate limits of the village shall be two (2) times the applicable connection fee listed in section 8-2C-2-3. On payment of the fee, the property baseline shall be adjusted to the newly established PE. (Ord. 20-08-25, 8-10-2020)
