(2) As an incentive for early connection to the sanitary sewer system, the above-stated sewer service connection fees shall be discounted on the basis of how quickly owners of property required to connect to the sanitary sewer system pursuant to § 50.095 do in fact make the required connections. The baseline for determining the amount of the discount for which a property owner is eligible shall be referred to as the notification date, and this notification date is the date on which the notice required by § 50.099 is deposited by the city with the United States Postal Service for delivery as first class mail. If a sewer service connection is made within two and one-half years of the notification date, the sewer service connection fee shall be waived. If a connection is made after two and one-half years, but before five years have lapsed, the sewer service connection fee shall be discounted by 75%. If a connection is made after five years, but before seven and one-half years have lapsed, the sewer service connection fee shall be discounted by 50%. If a connection is made after seven and one-half years, but before ten years have lapsed, the sewer service connection fee shall be discounted by 25%. No discount shall be available once ten years have lapsed since the notification date. This incentive plan does not apply to extensions of the public sanitary sewer system completed prior to January 1, 2008, and this incentive plan does not apply to extensions of the public sanitary sewer system that are undertaken as part of the major subdivision review and approval process prescribed by the City of Asheboro Subdivision Ordinance or are otherwise initiated by some person or entity other than the city.

The amount of the surcharge shall be calculated by distributing the cost incurred by the city, less any expense offset by the standard connection fee, pro rata between the owners of each parcel of land served by the water or sewer facility to which the connection is to be made. The exact surcharge for any particular water or sewer facility subject to this division shall be listed in the schedule of water/sewer service connection surcharges. This schedule of surcharges shall be maintained in the office of the City Clerk and shall be available for public inspection during regular business hours.
