(A) No new installation of sewer service by the village sewer system or an extension or alteration of existing sewer service shall be permitted unless and until application for such new installation of service or extension or alteration of existing sewer service is filed by the person employed to perform the work with the Wastewater Treatment Superintendent prior to the performance of any work on such installation, extension, or alteration of sewer service. A permit for such installation, extension, or alteration of sewer service shall be issued by the Superintendent on the approval of such application as herein provided, and payment of the applicable sewer system entry fee, if any, herein established.
(B) Form and contents of application. The application shall be countersigned by the owner of the property for which the installation, extension, or alteration of sewer service is requested, or an authorized agent thereof. Such application shall contain the legal description of the property, the street location, the officially dedicated building number, the size and character of the service pipe, as well as a complete and full description of the proposed use of the premises on which such new installation, extension, or alteration of service is requested. Any additional information required for a full knowledge of the purpose of such service shall be clearly and fully set forth in the application. The Superintendent or Village Administrator empowered to withhold approval of any application is not fully set forth.
(C) There is established a sewer system entry fee, which shall be paid to the village by an applicant for sewer service. A copy of fees shall be available in the village office.
(1) The entry fee established shall be paid in all cases wherein a new installation of sewer service is applied for. NEW INSTALLATION OF SEWER SERVICE, as used in this section, means an installation of village sewer service at a location at which no city sewer service has been previously installed; or a resumption of sewer service at a location at which city sewer service has been previously installed, but by reason of the destruction or demolition of a structure on the premises, has not been used for a continuous period of eight years prior to resumption of sewer service. However, any resumption of sewer service which, at any location and following any period of nonuse of sewer service at such location, will increase sewer usage so as to increase the number of equivalent dwelling units (EDU), as that term is used herein, at such location shall be considered a new installation of sewer service, and shall require the payment of the full sewer service entry fee established, notwithstanding any other provision of this section.
(2) The entry fee established shall be set by ordinance. Fee schedules shall be on file with the village office.
(3) Such entry fee shall be paid at the time that an application for a new installation for sewer service is filed with the Wastewater Treatment Superintendent as provided in division (A) above.
(4) All income and revenue derived from or obtained from the entry fees herein established shall be placed in the sewer enterprise capital fund and may be transferred by ordinance to cover sewer debt service on sewer improvements.
(D) The applicant shall also be responsible for the payment of all costs for materials and labor necessitated by the installation, extension, or alteration of the sewer service applied for.
(E) Additional regulations regarding tap-in or entry into the village sewer system. All tap-ins or entries to the sewer system shall be made during the village's regular work week. No tap-in or entry to the sewer system shall be made unless at least 24 hours' notice of the date and time of such tap-in or entry shall have been given to the Sewer Department.
