A. The water department shall make the following charges for service connections and the perpetual maintenance of all services, meters and meter boxes, the same to be and remain the property of the village:
1. For all service lines and meters two inches (2") and under, seven hundred dollars ($700.00) or the actual cost to the village for the connection plus two hundred dollars ($200.00), whichever is the greater amount;
2. For all service lines and meters greater than two inches (2"), one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or the actual cost to the village for the connection plus two hundred dollars ($200.00), whichever is the greater amount;
3. In cases where more than one dwelling/unit will be serviced by a single hookup, the hook up fee will be one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for each dwelling/unit served plus the base hook up fee;
4. Other special use hook up fees will be determined by the governing body of the village on a case by case basis but in no case will the base hook up fee be less than those outlined above.
These rates shall apply to all water connections made on or after the effective date hereof.
These connection rates are to remain in effect so long as the village board of trustees deems necessary.
B. These prices shall include the service connection complete, the meter box with the meter in place and metal cover for the box, except in cases where meters are required to be placed under a sidewalk excavated to the curb line, in which case the property owner shall construct a concrete box for the meter, open on the topside only.
C. Service connections must be arranged so that the supply for each separate house or premises may be controlled by a separate stopcock placed within or near the line of the street curb, and one (1) person, firm or corporation must be responsible and pay for all the water used through the service for his or their use, or for the use of others to whom it may be accessible. The Water Department may decline to supply any connection until separate services are provided in this connection. (Ord. 257, 1993: Ord. 248, 1988: Ord. 43 § 4, 1935)
