(A) Definitions. For the purpose of this section, the following definitions apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
MINIMUM FEE. The base charge established by the village from time to time as the minimum charge that is assessed to each person, firm, or corporation for being provided water service or sewer service.
MULTISEWER HOOKUPS. Includes two or more sewer users connected to the municipal sewer system through one single sewer connection.
MULTIWATER HOOKUPS TO A SINGLE WATER METER. Includes two or more water users receiving water through a single water meter.
SEWER USER. Considered as each separate and distinct household or business located in the corporate limits of the village.
WATER USER. Considered as each separate and distinct household or business located in the village.
(B) Village consent required. It shall be illegal for any person to permit multiple water or sewer hookups through one single connection to the water system or the sewer system, as the case may be, without the written consent of the Water and Sewer Department. In the event multiple water hookups or sewer connections are made without the consent of the Water and Sewer Department, the village shall have the authority to require the water user or sewer user to disconnect the hookup which was installed without the consent of the village.
(3) In the alternative, the village may still give its consent to multiple hookups for water or sewer for one connection and charge the appropriate connection fee for water or sewer, as the case may be, or for both, at the rate established for the water connection charge and sewer connection charge.

(2) Sewer users. Any person having two or more sewer users connected to the municipal sewer system through a single connection thereto shall be required to pay a minimum fee for each of the sewer users, together with a charge of $2.10, or at a rate which is established from time to time by the Board of Trustees of the village, for the first 1,000 gallons of water metered for a residence up to 11,000 gallons, there being no further charge thereafter, of $2.10 per 1,000 gallons of meter water for a business, without limitation.
