(Ord. 397, passed 10-25-99)
All persons owning, renting, leasing or having management or control of property or premises that produce waste that is discharged into the sanitary sewers of the town, including domestic waste, and subject to the provisions of this chapter, shall be charged the rates established by the WPCA, and no reduced rates or free sanitary sewer service shall be furnished to any such person, property or premises.

In those instances where water meters are provided on the sources of water providing water to the facilities discharging into the sanitary sewer system of the town, portable water usage will be determined from the water meter readings for the purpose of determining the sewer service charge, except as may be modified or amended by the WPCA with the approval of the Legislative Council from time to time. As to such water sources that are not metered, estimates of water usage will be made.
(Ord. 397, passed 10-25-99)
(A) Any person owning or having control of property discharging waste into the sanitary sewers of the town and on whose property there is located one or more facilities requiring water from the source of supply that also furnishes water to the sanitary sewer system, and such water provided to the town, may at his or her own expense install a water meter of a type and design, and at a location, approved by the General Manager, and the WPCA will accept readings from such meter taken and provided to the WPCA by such person or his or her duly authorized agent, such readings to be furnished on forms provided by the General Manager and sworn to as correct by the person taking the reading. Meters installed for this purpose shall be sealed by the WPCA, and the owners shall ensure that said seal is not broken.
(B) The amount of water measured by the reading of such meter will be used to adjust the water usage upon which the user charge established by this chapter will be computed. In the event such property is not supplied water by the company, such meter reading will be deducted from the total water usage furnished to the property as estimated by the General Manager as provided for in this chapter.
(C) No facility for which a meter is installed under the provisions of this section shall be connected to the sanitary sewer system of the town without the owner thereof having first notified in writing the General Manager of such proposed connection.
(D) The sewer staff shall have the right, at any time during regular business hours, to check the meter reading on such meter installed to measure the amount of water provided to the facility not discharging waste into the town's sanitary sewers, and to remove and test such meter at any time.
(E) Any person making a false affidavit as to the amount of water usage registered by a meter installed under the provisions of this section, or any person representing to the WPCA that the facility for which a meter is installed under the provisions hereof does not discharge waste into the sanitary sewer when, in fact, it does, or any person having facilities for which such a meter is installed who subsequently connects such facility to the town's sanitary sewer system without notifying the WPCA and the General Manager shall be guilty of an offense. Each and every day that such violation continues shall constitute a separate offense punishable as set forth in § 51.99.
