(b) Service of Outside Customers. Subject to the sole discretion of the Village Council, sanitary sewer services may be extended to outside customers. Such extension may be in accordance with any of the following methods:
(1) By agreement with a political subdivision. In the event that the Village enters into an agreement with a political subdivision, such political subdivision shall, in accordance with the Village's rules and regulations and specifications, pay for and construct such lines and appurtenances as may be necessary to provide services to such outside customers as are described in said agreement. In such event, such outside customers thereby receiving such services shall be subject to such rules and regulations, and such rates, fee, assessments, deposits and charges as shall be set forth in said agreement.
(2) Extension by private entity. In the event that any private entity, including developer(s), individual(s), association(s) or any other entity, desires to extend such services to outside customers, such entity shall petition the Village Council for permission to make such extension. If such extension is permitted, said entity must submit detailed engineering plans for such extension to the Village for approval prior to constructing any such improvements. Such plans must comply with all Village rules and regulations and specifications, as well as EPA regulations and the "'Ten State Standards". Said entity shall pay for and construct any such improvements, subject to inspection of such by the Village.
A. Upon completion of construction and testing of such lines and appurtenances, ownership of the same shall be transferred by duly executed bill of sale and deed of easement, as may be required by the Village, to the Village, excluding the transfer of service lines extending from discharge units to the main lines. Said entity shall also provide a one-year maintenance bond covering said facilities which is satisfactory to the Village.
B. As determined by Village Council, said entity may request a recoupment of project costs associated with the extension, or installation, of sanitary sewers inside or outside the corporation limits. If approved by Village Council, recoupment of project costs will be based on actual project costs paid by said entity. Recoupment of costs will be detailed in a cost recoupment agreement entered into with the Village. The cost recoupment agreement will identify, and determine a connection charge for, each property with frontage on the new sewer installation or extension. The Village will collect the connection charge at the time a property connects to the new or extended sewer and then disburse fifty percent of the connection charges to said entity, on an annual basis, for a period of ten years.
C. In the event of extension of services by this method, such outside customers thereby receiving said services shall be subject to all rules, regulations and ordinances of the Village. Further, said outside customers shall pay for said services the outside rate as set forth above.
(3) Extension by the Village.
A. The Village may, in its discretion, pay for and construct sanitary sewer lines and appurtenances to service outside customers.
B. In the event of extension of services by this method, such outside customers shall be subject to all rules, regulations and ordinances of the Village. Further, said outside customers shall pay for said services the outside rates as set forth above.
(c) Administrative Fee.
(1) There shall be established an administrative fee which shall be a surcharge on all monthly water and sewer service fees collected from the outside customers. Said surcharge shall be in the amount of 25% of the service fees established in these Codified Ordinances, including Ordinance 801-01 and Ordinance 802-01, and such surcharge shall be added to the service fees established in said Ordinances.
