No person, firm or corporation shall make any connections with any public sewer or appurtenance thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the Village Clerk or the Township Supervisor.
The owner or his or her agent shall make application for a sewer tap on a form furnished by the Village Clerk or Township Supervisor. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications or other information required by this section or considered pertinent in the judgment of the Superintendent. Each single-family residential premises tapping into the system and securing service shall pay, in cash, at the time of application for a zoning transmittal, an amount as set forth in the Village Schedule of Charges and Fees, except in cases where the property to be connected to the sewer main has participated directly (other than by payment of the general property tax) in the cost of the sewer facility or has been assessed the cost by special assessment.
The owner of each premises, other than a single-family residence, shall pay a tap charge equal to the product of the fee, as stated above, times the appropriate residential equivalent ratio established by the Table of Equivalent Unit Factors provided in Appendix I at the end of this chapter. Such charge is due, in cash, at the time of application for a zoning transmittal or upon notice of the Clerk or Supervisor. Should the use of any premises be intensified, altered or expanded so as to increase the premises' residential equivalent ratio, a tap charge equal to the product of the fee, as stated above, times the unit increase in ratio, shall be due upon notice from the Clerk or the Supervisor. No refunds of tap charges shall be made.
If a street opening is required to make the lead connection, an additional fee as set forth in the Village Schedule of Charges and Fees must accompany the application for sewer service.
