(A) Where an individual connection is sought for acreage or developed areas inside or outside the corporate limits of the town, sewer users shall pay a connection cost based on an equivalent development unit (EDU factor) pursuant to § 55.10 of this code for a single-family residence, which is hereby initially fixed and established at $900. This unit cost per EDU assumes an average daily EDU wastewater flow of 300 gallons per day at a unit cost for additional wastewater treatment capacity of $3 per gallon of plant capacity. New sewer connections in conjunction with their designated type of service referenced in § 55.10 of this code will presently pay a connection cost based on the multiplication of the listed EDU factor times $900. The equivalent user cost, may, from time to time, be updated and changed by the town. Funds collected, including inspection costs, shall be deposited into the town’s Plant Expansion and Improvement Fund. Funds collected shall be used for the expansion and other capital improvements of sewerage facilities including bond payments on past capital projects and future capital projects relating to the town’s sewerage system.
(B) Connection of users not listed in § 55.10 of this code (which is attached hereto and made a part hereof) or any user which the Town Council believes to vary substantially (substantially meaning by more than 15% from the EDU factor listed in § 55.10 of this code or a user who due to some unique characteristic does not fit in any category listed on § 55.10 of this code) shall have its EDU factor determined by the Town Council based on projected EDU wastewater flows or any other equitable means as determined by the Town Council. For the purposes of reviewing the unit contribution, the usage of a single-family residence will be considered as 300 gallons per day. Users listed in § 55.10 of this code shall also be billed a monthly rate in accordance with current sewer rate charges.
