Any person who introduces or causes to be introduced into the system, either directly or indirectly, any prohibited pollutant or wastewater which causes detrimental effects to the city's system or treatment plant processes or causes a violation of the city's NPDES permit or other regulation imposed by a regulatory agency shall be liable for all damages and costs occasioned thereby, including any penalty assessed by a regulatory agency. The damages, costs or penalty assessed shall be deemed a debt to the city and shall be charged to the offending person by the city manager.
(`64 Code, Sec. 25-10) (Ord. No. 2494)
(A) In addition to the payment of a connection fee, any person requesting service to a lot that is not adjacent to the system shall be responsible for installation of a sewer extension in dedicated streets, alleys or easements accepted by the city. Sewers shall be installed in sewer easements only when it is not in the public interest for the city to accept dedication of a street or alley in the particular location. The required sewer extension shall include all facilities necessary to serve the property as well as all abutting sewers indicated by the sewer master plan. All construction shall conform to city standards and detailed plans approved by the city manager. The city manager shall determine the size sewer required for the area for which application for service is made. A sewer shall not have an inside diameter of less than eight inches. In the case of sewer trunk mains in the sewer master plan, an appropriate credit against collection fees and cash reimbursement may be allowed in an amount to be determined by the city manager.
(B) If sewer facilities that the person would otherwise be required to provide have previously been installed, the person shall be required to pay to the city a sewer charge consisting of a pro rata share of such facilities as determined by the city manager. If such previous installation was made by the applicant or his/her predecessor in interest in the property to which service is desired, the applicant may be entitled to credit in an amount to be determined by the city manager for such installation. Previous installations eligible for these credits must have been made less than 20 years before the application. Credit for previous installations will be applied against sewer charges, but in no event shall such credits be greater than the amount paid for actual construction of the extension.
(C) When installed, connected and finally inspected, all sewer extensions shall be deemed automatically offered for dedication to the city and upon acceptance shall become the property of the city. All necessary easements shall be granted to the city.
(`64 Code, Sec. 25-11) (Ord. No. 2494)
(A) When an application requires a sewer extension and it is necessary or desirable to design the extension to serve an area or users, actual or potential, in excess for that which the application is made, the applicant may be eligible for a credit for a portion of the design and construction costs for the extension. Any such credit shall be granted in an amount to be determined by the city manager.
(B) If the sewer to be constructed is included in the current sewer master plan implementation schedule, and said sewer is constructed, in part, by the applicant, the city manager may authorize an appropriate credit against the applicant's sewer connection fee. No applicant may receive a credit for more than the total amount of sewer connection fees that would be normally required of the applicant. Any credit granted by the city manager shall only be for the actual engineering and construction costs of the sewer.
(C) Upon completion of a sewer which is not in the current sewer master plan implementation schedule and to which future connections could be made, the city manager shall determine the actual cost thereof and the existing sewer charge against each front foot of abutting property, taking into consideration intersections and other property that would not receive water service.
