(A) Special project connection fees.
(1) From time to time as may be warranted, the village may deem it necessary to participate in the extension of sanitary sewer facilities or public water main facilities to areas not currently served by village sanitary sewers or water mains. Such extensions may be by participation in a local improvement project, by agreement with some or all of the owners of the properties to be served, or by other means.
(2) The Village of Mahomet may establish, by resolution of the Board of Trustees, special project connection fees, which shall be charged in addition to the normal connection fee outlined elsewhere herein. The special project connection fee established shall be for the purpose of distributing the costs of the water main extension or sanitary sewer extension to those properties benefited by the extension in a fair and equitable manner.
(3) The special project connection fee may include the costs incurred by the village on behalf of the property owners, including interest costs incurred to the date of application. The properties that are benefited by the facility extension and to which the special project connection fee is applicable shall be identified by the village at the time of the establishment of the fee.
(4) No connection of a private sanitary sewer extension or building sewer shall be made to an existing village sanitary sewer until such time as any special project connection fee due to the village has been paid. No connection of a water service line shall be made to an existing village water main until such time as any special project connection fee due to the village has been paid. When the property benefited and to which the special project connection fee is applicable includes land that is to be subdivided or otherwise developed, the developer or subdivider of the property shall be responsible for payment of all applicable special project connection fees prior to connection of private sewers, public sanitary sewers, or building sewers to the village public sanitary sewer system and prior to connection of water service lines to the village water mains.
(B) Use of connection fees and capacity fees. Connection fees, capacity fees and special project connection fees collected by the village shall be deposited by the Treasurer of the Village in a Wastewater Capital Improvement Fund or a Water System Capital Improvement Fund, as applicable for use in extension, construction or reconstruction of the wastewater treatment works and sanitary sewer collection system of the village or for use in the extension, construction, or reconstruction of the village public water supply facilities.
