§ 51.50  SEWER CHARGES OR RENTALS.
   Any municipality which has installed or plans to install sewer utilities for public use may by ordinance or resolution establish charges to be paid to the municipality for the use of the sewer utilities by every user whose premises are served by a connection to the sewer utilities directly or indirectly.  A municipality may also submit to the voters of such municipality at any general election or any special election called for such purpose the question of whether or not the municipality shall be authorized to establish charges for the use of sewer utilities.  If a majority of the voters voting upon such question shall vote in favor thereof then such municipality may by ordinance or resolution establish charges to be paid to the municipality for the use of the sewer utilities by every user whose premises are served by a connection to the sewer utilities directly or indirectly.  For the purpose of this section the term SEWER UTILITIES means any main, trunk, and service sewers; sanitary and storm sewers; and septic or sewage treatment plants, drains and manholes.
