For the use of and service rendered by the sewage works, rates and charges shall be collected from the owners of each and every lot, parcel of real estate, or building that is connected with the town’s sanitary system or otherwise discharges sanitary sewage, industrial wastes, water, or other liquids, either directly or indirectly, into the sanitary sewerage system of the town. These rates and charges include user charges, debt service costs, excessive strength surcharges, and other service charges, which rates and charges shall be payable as provided in this chapter and shall be in an amount determinable as set forth in Appendix A of this chapter.

(C) Town properties. Properties owned by the town are exempt from paying the above-referenced rates and charges as set forth in Appendix A.
