(a) Water tap fees are calculated on the basis of meter size for residential structures and per residential equivalent units (REU's) for non-residential structures, provided in an established schedule, as approved and amended by the village council from time to time.
(b) Sewer tap fees are calculated on the basis of grinder pump or no grinder pump required, plus a plant modification charge that is based on residential structure or nonresidential structure per REU.
(c) Requests for utility taps to be relocated on the same lot due to construction interference shall be administered at an established per hour rate for labor, equipment and the cost of materials.
(d) All residential and non-residential water and sewer connection charges must be paid (in-full) prior to framing inspection.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, where non-residential structures will have separate metering for different uses, the property owner or their agent may apply to the director of public services requesting a phased tap fee schedule at or before the date requested for an initial framing inspection for any portion of the project ready for tapping. The director of public services, in consultation with the village building inspector, may establish and approve a phased tap fee schedule that requires connection charges to be paid before identifiable construction milestones prior to each separate meter being tapped. The decision to approve a phased schedule request and the construction milestones used to established the schedule are at the discretion of the director of public services.
