1. Connection fee. A fee, which shall not exceed an amount based upon the actual cost of the connection of the property extending from the township’s main to the property line or curb stop of the property so connected, is hereby authorized. The township may also base such fee upon an average cost for previously installed connections of similar type and size. In lieu of the payment of the fees, the township may require the construction and dedication of those facilities by the property owner or owners requesting such connection.
2. Customer facilities fee. A fee, which shall not exceed an amount based upon the actual cost of facilities serving the connected property from the property line or curb stop to the proposed dwelling or building to be served, is hereby authorized. The fee shall be chargeable only in the event that the township and not the property owner or owners installs the customer facilities. In lieu of the payment of the customer facilities fee, the township may require the construction of those facilities by the property owner or owners requesting customer facilities. The fee may include the cost of a water meter and installation if the township provides or installs the same. Where the property connected, or to be connected, with the sewer system of the township is not equipped with a water meter, the township may install such a meter at its own cost and expense.
3. Tapping fee. The township will assess a charge in an amount as established from time to time by resolution of the Board of Supervisors to each resident. Commercial tapping fees shall be in accordance with the Bradford Water Authority’s then current schedule.
