Charges for sanitary sewer connections made outside the corporation limits but not within Bath Township shall be one hundred percent (100%) in excess of regular charges provided in subsection (a) hereof. These surcharges shall not apply to sanitary sewer connections and sanitary sewer line connections made for other political subdivisions.
(e) Where the City has received a pro rata share for a new sanitary sewer service connection (lateral) to an existing sanitary sewer main, as established in subsection (b) hereof, and the City is contacted by the developer of that same existing sanitary sewer main for reimbursement of that pro rata share, the City shall make payment to the developer of that pro rata share amount, as provided in subsection (b) hereof, if the request for reimbursement is made within five years from the date of the City's acceptance of the sanitary sewer main.
(f) All other costs involved in the physical connection of sanitary sewer taps and sanitary sewer service laterals shall be paid by the applicant.

(h) No sanitary sewer connection fee payments will be renewed for connection to a property on which the owner permits the continuation of any violations of City ordinances or regulations. (Ord. 47-19. Passed 11-18-19.)
