(a) No person, corporation, public agency, partnership or association whatsoever shall connect, or cause to be connected, any building or other structure either directly or indirectly with a sanitary sewer in the Rocky River Sewer District and the North Olmsted Sewer District of the City of Fairview Park for the purpose of discharging sanitary sewage or industrial waste therefrom without first receiving a permit for such purpose in a form prescribed by the City Engineer and without first paying to the City, a readiness-to-serve charge determined in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) hereof.
(b) The City Engineer shall not issue a permit for the purpose described in subsection (a) hereof until the applicant for such permit has paid to this City, a readiness-to-serve charge to be determined in accordance with the following schedule:
Residence | Charge |
Single family | $750.00 |
Multiple family (including apartments) | $550.00 for each family unit having one bedroom or less; plus $100.00 for each additional bedroom |
Nonresidential buildings, structures or other facilities shall pay a readiness-to-serve charge determined by the City Engineer in the following manner: The City Engineer shall review the preliminary plans of the building, structure or other facility to be served by the connection, together with other pertinent information and, based upon accepted engineering practices, determine the anticipated daily quantity of sewage to be discharged from such building, structure or other facility to the sanitary sewer system. The quantity so determined shall then be divided by the average daily quantity of sewage discharged from a single family residence and the resulting quotient multiplied by seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) shall be the readiness-to-serve charge for such building, structure or other facility.
(c) In the event that the City Engineer ascertains that any property has been connected directly or indirectly to a sanitary sewer in violation of the provisions of this section, the City Engineer is authorized to disconnect such property until such violation ceases. The City shall be reimbursed for expenses incurred for disconnection by the property owner.
