A sanitary sewer system capacity charge shall be made for each new sanitary sewer connection to any property and shall be paid at the time that the application for the connection permit is made for the service. This charge shall be in addition to any other fees or charges made for sanitary sewer connections and shall be paid to the Village.
Upon proper proof of hardship, the Village Manager may arrange for a payment schedule for the foregoing capacity charge.
(1) Rates. The Village Superintendent is hereby authorized and directed to charge a sanitary sewer system capacity fee whenever an application is made for sanitary sewage collection service from a structure or units whenever such property is or may be serviced by a sanitary sewer connection line connected to a tributary directly or indirectly to any public sanitary sewer built by or under the supervision of the Village. These charges shall be according to the size of water main tap that supplies water to the structure or units.
(2) Capacity Charges.
(a) Sanitary sewer system capacity charges for sanitary sewer service shall be as follows:
Nominal Water Tap Diameter (inches) | Capacity Charge |
3/4 | $ 4,990.00 |
1 | 8,317.00 |
1-1/2 | 16,634.00 |
2 | 26,614.00 |
3 | 49,900.00 |
4 | 83,167.00 |
6 | 166,334.00 |
8 | 266,134.00 |
(b) Where all or a determined portion of a water service tap is installed for fire protection, no normal use of sanitary sewers is anticipated and therefore, no sanitary sewer system capacity charge shall be levied on that portion used solely for fire protection.
(c) In the event a water service tap is enlarged, the sanitary sewer system capacity charge difference between the two diameter sizes shall be paid to the Village.
(d) Any sanitary sewer system capacity charge, where the water service tap is larger than those set forth herein, shall be the subject of special action by Village Council prior to issuance of a connection permit.
(e) All sanitary sewer system service connections and lines shall be approved by the Village Manager.
(f) Sanitary sewer system capacity charges shall be deposited into the Village's Sewer Replacement and Improvement Fund.
