Payment of the availability and connections costs shall be made at the following times and in the following manner.
(A) Availability costs. The first half of the availability cost shall be paid at the time of the issuance of the plat or planned unit development approved by the town’s Plan Commission, approving the plat for recording purposes. In the event the property is being platted in sections, the installment shall be due on the respective sections as they are platted. In the event the property is not part of a plat or planned unit development, then one-half shall be due and paid upon completion of the construction of the proposed sewer improvements and the acceptance by the town, which shall occur prior to the issuance of any building permit on structures served by the line. This initial payment shall be based upon a minimum of one-tenth of an EDU per 1,000 square feet. The balance of the availability cost shall be paid at the time of occupancy based upon actual EDU calculations determined by the town at that time based upon the town’s determination of the applicable use under § 55.10 of this code. In the event the use changes during the first year of the occupancy to a greater number of EDUs, then the additional monies shall be due immediately upon the change of use. This change of use factor shall be applicable only for the initial year from the date of first occupancy.
(B) Connection costs. Connection costs shall be due and payable upon application for connection to the town’s sanitary sewer system. In the event the use changes within the first year from the date of occupancy to a greater number of EDUs, then additional fees shall be due and owing immediately upon the change of occupancy within that one-year period. Upon a showing to the Town Council of some undue hardship and public need or enhancement by the connection, the Town Council shall have the discretion to waive the connection fees.
