960.47   NECESSITY FOR CHARGES.
   It is hereby determined necessary for the protection of public health, safety, and welfare and to conform with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations that a system of charges for storm water service be established which allocates the cost of providing storm water service to each user in such a manner that the allocated costs are proportionate to the cost of providing storm water service to that user, insofar as those costs can reasonably be determined.
(Ord. 2014-71. Passed 8-4-14.)
960.48   POWERS OF THE SAFETY-SERVICE DIRECTOR.
   Storm water service charges levied pursuant to this ordinance may be collected by the Safety-Service Director. Notwithstanding other provisions of the Elyria City Code, the Safety- Service Director or his or her designee shall make and enforce such rules and regulations as deemed necessary for the safe, economical, and efficient management and protection of the City's storm water system; for the construction and use of storm sewers and connections to the storm water system consistent with policies established by the City Council; and for the regulation collection, rebating and refunding of such storm water charges.
(Ord. 2014-71. Passed 8-4-14.)
960.49   RIGHT TO APPEAL BY NONRESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNER.
   A nonresidential property owner may challenge the ERU multiple assigned to his or her property by filing an appeal with the Safety-Service Director for adjustment thereof, stating in writing the grounds for the appeal. The Safety-Service Director, or the Director's designee, shall consider the appeal and determine whether an adjustment of the ERU multiple for any such lot or parcel is necessary, and adjust such ERU multiple if appropriate.
(Ord. 2014-71. Passed 8-4-14.)
960.50   COLLECTION.
   Each storm water service charge rendered under or pursuant to this chapter is hereby made a lien upon the corresponding lot, parcel of land, building or premises that are tributary directly or indirectly to the storm water system of the City, and, if the same is not paid within 180 days after it shall be due and payable, it shall be certified to the Lorain County Auditor, with the interest and penalties allowed by law, for collection in accordance to law.
