(A) User charges; nonindustrial users. Sewer user charges for all classes of users, except industrial, shall be billed quarterly at the following rates.
Type | Amount |
Residential | $18 |
Commercial | $18 minimum plus $1.07 for each 1,000 gallons of water consumption over 15,000 gallons per quarter |
Exit motel complex | $1,950 |

(B) User charges; industrial users.
(1) Industrial users shall be billed quarterly with the billing based upon measured quantities of flow, BOD and suspended solids determined daily and totaled quarterly at the following unit charges:
Type | Amount |
Flow | $.75 per 1,000 gallons |
BOD | $.05 per pound |
SS | $.05 per pound |
(2) Any industrial user discharging at or below normal domestic strength will be charged at the commercial user charge.
(C) Measuring volume of sewage. Where a significant portion of the customer's water does not and cannot enter the treatment works either directly or indirectly, and where the quantity of water entering the premises is estimated at more than 5,000 gallons per month, the person having charge of the property may request permission from the village to install, at his or her own expense, an approved sewage measuring device or devices to determine the volume of sewage that actually enters the treatment works. The rates and charges will apply only to that portion of water or actual sewage entering the treatment works. Rate for sewage shall be the same as the commercial water consumption rate noted above (i.e. $18 plus $1.07 per 1,000 gallons of sewage in excess of 15,000 gallons per quarter).
(D) Extra-strength wastes. Each industrial or nonindustrial user who discharges wastes into the treatment works shall be subject to a surcharge in addition to regular sewer charges, based on BOD and suspended solids, if the waste load contributed to the treatment works has a loading greater than normal domestic strength wastes or is in excess of the normal load contributed by the user. The magnitudes of the extra-strength wastes shall be determined in accordance with sampling and testing procedures established in this subchapter.
(E) Surcharge rates. The rates for excess strength surcharges shall be double the rates for normal strength sewage.
(F) Property owner; liability. The charge for treatment works service shall be billed to the owner of each lot, parcel of real estate or building having a connection with the village treatment facilities. If a tenant is billed, the owner shall in no way be relieved of liability in the event payment is not made by the tenant as herein required. The owner shall have the right to examine the village's collection records to ascertain whether the charges have been paid.
