(A) For each connection to the public sewer a tap-on fee shall be paid to the city with the application for a building sewer permit. In addition to the tap-on fee, persons obtaining an Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit shall reimburse the city for the actual cost of all testing required to evaluate the industrial effluent.
(B) The connection fee for multiple unit residential and commercial buildings shall be by the prevailing charge as given in this section for the first unit and one-half the prevailing fee for each additional unit under the same roof. Duplexes, multi-plexes, and townhouse buildings that have each unit platted on its own individual lot and/or under individual ownership such as a condominium, are considered single family dwelling and are not subject to the discounted connection fee rate described. Tap-on fees are established as follows by water meter size:

5/8 x 3/4 | $350 | $450 |
3/4 | $400 | $500 |
