(a) Beginning on August 1, 2006, a rental will be charged by the Village for service rendered by its sanitary sewerage system equal to eighty-two percent (82%) of the water rates according to the actual consumption and collection thereof to be made on the September 10, 2006 and monthly thereafter. This rental fee shall be assessed to Village residents as well as the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) for services rendered to the Mohican State Park.
(b) Users of sewer only, the rates will be eighty-two percent (82%) of the existing rate. However, the Board of Trustees of the Board of Public Affairs may require any sewer user at his or her own expense to meter the water used and the charges made by the Village to such user shall be calculated upon the same basis as if the water had been supplied through the Village water mains. (Ord. 26-2006. Passed 7-17-06.)
(c) If any sewer user consumes water supplied by Village water mains and all or a portion of such water is not discharged into the Village sanitary sewerage system, such sewer user may, at his expense, either meter the water which is not discharged into the sanitary sewerage system or meter the water which is discharged into the sanitary sewerage system, and the charges made by the Village to such sewer user shall be calculated upon the volume of water discharged into the sanitary sewerage system.
(d) If any sewer bill is not paid within ten days after the date of mailing, a ten percent (10%) surcharge shall be added. Because the foregoing rates are based on water consumption, the Village will not accept payment of any water bill unless the sewer service bill is also paid, and if any bill for sewer service remain unpaid for thirty days, the Village may cut off the water supply to the delinquent user until the sewer bill is paid. In addition, the Village may certify all delinquent charges and surcharges to the County Auditor to be collected in the same manner as other Municipal taxes under the provisions of Ohio R.C. 729.49.
(e) The foregoing rates are minimum rates not maximum rates and the Village reserves the right to increase the same at any time should the revenue of the system be insufficient to repay Federal financing or to operate the secondary system.
