(Ord. 499. Passed 4-9-13.)
The City of Ionia ("City") and the Townships of Berlin, Easton, Ionia and Orange (together with the City collectively called the "Constituent Municipalities") and the Ionia Regional Utilities Authority ("Authority"), entered into the Ionia Regional Utilities Authority Contract of December 2010 ("Contract"), to promote the health and welfare of the residents of the constituent municipalities. The Contract covers topics pertaining to the sewage disposal system and collection systems as those terms are used in the Contract and as adopted herein. The City, on behalf of the Authority, is required by the terms of the Contract to: operate, maintain, administer and manage the sewage disposal system; read its master meters; bill and collect service charges from the Constituent Municipalities (including the City itself); account for all collections and from such collections pay all costs for operation, maintenance, management and administration of the sewage disposal system. Accordingly, it is necessary for the City, as a Constituent Municipality, to establish rates and charges for services to its Users connected to or are required to be connected to its collection system, in amounts necessary to operate, maintain and administer the sewage collection and disposal system and to adopt an ordinance that requires users to pay rates and charges for sewer collection and disposal services. It is the purpose of the City by enacting and keeping in force and effect this chapter to comply with the foregoing requirements of the Contract to protect and promote the health and welfare of the residents of the City.
