(A) Owners of premises within the area served by the laterals from which sanitary sewage emanates on the date of enactment hereof and which premises are hereafter connected to the system, shall pay a capital charge for connection to the system in an amount to be established by resolution of the Village Council at a regular meeting after public hearing per connection, if paid in cash at the time of obtaining a connection permit from the village. The owner may elect to pay cash at the time of obtaining a connection permit or may elect to defer the payment of such charge over a period of 20 equal payments in which event the amount to be paid over such period shall be an additional 50% per connection. Any owner electing to pay the capital charge on a time-payment plan may, at any time, prepay the unpaid balance of such capital charge with a 33 1/3% discount on the then remaining balance due and owing.
(B) Owners of premises within the area served by the laterals upon which buildings or structures having sanitary or industrial sewage facilities are hereafter constructed, from which sewage shall emanate and which premises are connected to the system, shall pay a capital charge to the system in an amount to be established by resolution of the Village Council at a regular meeting after public hearing per unit or portion thereof, as determined by the Oakland County Department of Public Works "Schedule of Unit Assignment Factors, July 1, 1998," in cash, at the time of obtaining a connection permit from the village. The County Schedule of Unit Assignment Factors shall remain on file for public inspection in the office of the Village Clerk.
(C) Owners of premises within the area served by the laterals upon which structures or buildings are located and for which provision has been made for the connection to the system shall be obligated to pay the applicable capital charge for connection to the system on the basis of a deferred payment of such charge over a period of 20 equal payments. This charge shall be an obligation regardless of whether the buildings or structures are connected to the system and a subsequent change in the character of the use or type of occupancy of the premises (including destruction, removal or abandonment of any or all improvements thereon) shall not abate the obligation to continue the payment of this capital charge.
