ADJUSTMENTS AND BILLING CATEGORIES: | |
Haskins Village reserves the right to make justified adjustments to the Table of Unit Billing. The Village Administrator will make the determination as to the assignment of billing categories per Property Owner and any appeals for special consideration must be made in writing to the Haskins Village Council. Property Owner types not herein defined shall be charged on a case-by-case basis as determined by the Streets and Utilities Committee of the Haskins Village Council. Sewer rates and charges are subject to annual review as in the overall rate structure Ordinance for the Waste Water Treatment Facility debt retirement, maintenance and operation. | |
ISSUANCE OF BILLS: | |
The Haskins Utilities Bill will be issued to the Property Owner. However, in the event that the property is occupied by an individual or entity other than the Property Owner and the individual or entity registers with the Haskins Village to have any portion of the Haskins Utilities Bill issued to them, the Haskins Utilities Bill will be issued to the registrant. The Property Owner of record at the time the sewer charges are incurred is responsible for payment of all such charges, regardless of who occupied the property at the time such charges were incurred. | |
ADJUSTMENTS TO UNIT BILLING FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USERS: | |
In those cases where the unit billing is based upon the number of enrolled persons in a school, the enrollment shall be verified by the Village Administrator twice annually, once at the beginning of each school year and then again at the end of the school year (to determine out of session enrollment). Adjustments in enrollment shall be applied at the next billing cycle or otherwise at the discretion of the Village Administrator. For those instances where enrollment in an Elementary School exceeds or is less than the quantifier of 100, the sewer charge shall be increased or decreased at the rate of $0.95 per student, per month. For those instances where enrollment in a High or Junior High School exceeds or is less than the quantifier of 100, the sewer charge shall be increased or decreased at the rate of $1.89 per student, per month. In the case of a day care facility, enrollment shall be verified once annually. All schools and day care facilities are however subject to a minimum monthly charge of 1 unit, or Set Monthly Rate (See Rate Chart). In those cases where the unit billing is based upon the number of employed persons, such number shall be verified annually by the Village Administrator. Any increases above the quantified of 1 unit per 20 employees shall be charged at the rate of $3.15 per employee, per month. Due to the fact that a minimum charge of 1 unit, (See Rate Chart), is applicable, there cannot be any deductions from the rate in those instances where there are less than 20 employees. | |
