1058.01 CHARGE ESTABLISHED.
   (a)   A system capacity charge shall be made for each new service connection to any property for which a zoning permit is issued after the date of passage of this section and shall be paid at the time the connection permit is issued for a service. This charge shall be in addition to any other fees or charges made for sewer connections.
   (b)   Each applicant for a sanitary sewer tap, at the time of application, shall pay five dollars ($5.00) per front foot of the property to be served, unless waived by Council, if located within the Municipality, and five dollars and fifty cents ($5.50) per front foot of the property to be served if located outside the Municipality, provided that this charge shall not be imposed for the replacement of a tap and this charge shall not be imposed if the owner of the property concerned can establish that he or she or his or her predecessor in title paid or is paying a special assessment for the construction of any of the sanitary sewer collector lines which provide such service, or at his or her own expense constructed the sanitary sewer collector lines which provide such service. This subsection does not apply to owners of lots in a platted subdivision whose sanitary sewer lines have been built by a developer and dedicated for public usage.
   (c)   The total cost of tapping into the sanitary sewer collector line shall be borne by the applicant. All taps shall be inspected by representatives of the Sewer Department at the time the tap is made. The Municipality shall establish proper installation procedures, material standards and restoration requirements, which shall be required for all new taps.

1058.06 REIMBURSEMENT FOR COST OF INSTALLATION OF SANITARY SEWER COLLECTOR LINES.
   (a)   No sanitary sewer collector line(s) shall be installed except by the Municipality, unless otherwise authorized by an agreement between the Municipality and a developer or an applicant. Where sanitary sewer collector lines are installed by a developer or an applicant and abut on parcels not owned by such developer or applicant, nor included in the agreement, the developer or applicant may be entitled, if approved by Council, to seek reimbursement from the Municipality if such parcels are connected to sanitary sewer lines running to the treatment plant within ten years after the completion of the sanitary sewer collector line. Any reimbursement shall come from funds paid by the owners of the newly connected parcels pursuant to Section 1058.01. The amount of the reimbursement shall be determined by dividing the cost of the sanitary sewer collector line installed by the developer or applicant by the available frontage abutting on the sanitary sewer collector line. The total amount of reimbursement shall not exceed five dollars ($5.00) per front foot of property served.
   To be eligible for this reimbursement, the developer or applicant shall file with the Municipality, within ninety days after the completion, in accordance with the Municipality's standards and specifications, of the sanitary sewer collector line, or such further time as may be authorized by the Manager, in writing, receipts for all labor and material used in connection with the construction of the sanitary sewer collector line, together with the final as-built plans, properly referenced for future location of the work.
   (b)   The Manager shall issue a letter of completion within thirty days after he or she receives a certified cost of construction statement and final as-built plans as herein provided. The sanitary sewer collector line and other appurtenances shall, effective the date of the letter of completion, become the property of and title shall immediately vest in the Municipality, its successors or assigns.
   (c)   There is hereby established a special fund which shall be used exclusively for the deposit of sanitary sewer line front foot connection charges and for the payment of reimbursements to developers for offsite extensions.
   Money received and disbursed pursuant to the authorization of this section shall be accounted for on a project-by-project basis so that reimbursement to developers is directly paid and relates to sanitary sewer line front foot connection charges paid by owners of properties abutting their improvement.
(Ord. 2000-40. Passed 6-6-00.)
