A wastewater system capacity charge shall be made for each new wastewater 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 wastewater connections and shall be paid to the Village.
Upon proper proof of hardship, the Village Administrator may arrange for a payment schedule for the foregoing capacity charge.

(b) Rates. The Fiscal Officer is hereby authorized and directed to make a wastewater system capacity charge 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 wastewater connection line connected to a tributary directly or indirectly to any public wastewater system built by or under the supervision of the Village. These charges shall be according to the size of the water main tap that supplies water to the structure or units.
