(A) Any owner of a lot, parcel of real estate, or building who is not a wholesale customer as of January 1, 2018 or a customer of the wholesale users and is connecting to the sewage works shall, prior to being permitted to make a connection, pay an availability fee of $1,500 if the connection is for a single-family dwelling unit, and an availability fee of an amount to be determined by the Council for all other proposed uses. The Council now finds such a connection charge fee to be a reasonable and equitable pro rata cost of constructing the plant and interceptor lines.
(B) Properties owned by the town or its Utility Department are exempt from the connection charge and availability fee.
(C) In calculating the sewer availability fee for all other proposed users referred to in division (A) above, the estimated flow in gallons per day shall first be determined. This amount shall then be divided by 310 gallons per day to ascertain the number of units. Each unit will then be assigned a value of $1,500. The resulting availability fee will equal the number of units times $1,500. The minimum availability fee will be $1,500.
(D) The cost of tapping into a sewer main shall be the cost of labor, equipment, and materials.
(E) All customers of the wholesale users shall pay an availability fee of $1,500 for all single-family dwelling units prior to connecting to the sewage works. In calculating the sewer availability fee for all other customers of the wholesale users for property other than single-family dwelling units, the fee shall be calculated as described in § 52.112(C) above.
