1. Sanitary sewer. Prior to tapping on or connecting any commercial or industrial building, structure, use or customer to the village's sanitary sewer system, the applicant for such tap-on or connection shall submit to the village a calculation prepared by a professional engineer licensed by the State of Illinois setting forth the anticipated sanitary sewer usage requirements of the building, structure, use or customer proposed to be tapped on or connected to the village's sanitary sewer system, expressed as a number of population equivalents. The domestic sanitary sewer usage component of this calculation shall be made with reference to the table of commonly used sewage flows set forth at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 370 Appendix B, Table 2, and supplemented with such additional information as the village may reasonably require to determine the industrial and non-domestic sewage flows anticipated to be generated by the building, structure, use or customer in question, and to the maximum occupancy of the building or structure in question under applicable village ordinances.
2. Water. Prior to tapping on or connecting any commercial or industrial building, structure, use or customer to the village's water system, the applicant for such tap-on or connection shall submit to the village a calculation prepared by a professional engineer licensed by the State of Illinois setting forth the anticipated water usage requirements of the building, structure, use or customer proposed to be tapped on or connected to the village's water system, expressed as a number of population equivalents. For commercial or industrial buildings, structures, uses or customers that do not involve any use of process water or the generation of non-domestic commercial or industrial sewage flows, the population equivalent calculation for anticipated water usage may be set equal to the number of population equivalents calculated for sanitary sewer usage pursuant to division (B)(5)(d)1. of this section. Otherwise, the calculation shall reflect that number of population equivalents of water usage equal to the population equivalents of anticipated sanitary sewer usage determined pursuant to division (B)(5)(d)1. of this section, supplemented with such additional information as the village may reasonably require to determine the non-domestic water usage and process water usage anticipated to be generated by the building, structure, use or customer in question.
3. Sewer and water usage reviews. The village reserves the right to periodically review actual water and sewage system usage by any commercial or industrial building, structure, use or customer connected to the village's water and sanitary sewer system as reflected by the water and sewer billings to the building, structure, use or customer in question during the 12 month period prior to the conduct of the review. In the event that the actual water and sewage system usage reflected by the billings to the account exceeds the anticipated usage disclosed by the calculations in division (B)(5)(d)1. and 2. of this section, the village shall have the right to impose additional water and sanitary sewer tap-on fees in an amount based on the number of population equivalents by which the actual system usage exceeds the anticipated usage disclosed at the time of application for a tap-on or connection to the village water and sanitary sewer system. Subject to division (B)(5)(d)4. of this section, the village likewise reserves the right to conduct such reviews in connection with the submission of any application to the village for any permit, approval, review or other action involving or relating to any change in the use, occupancy, development, construction or ownership of any commercial or industrial building or structure and to impose additional water and sanitary sewer tap-on fees as set forth above where such reviews demonstrate that the proposed change in the use, occupancy, development, construction or ownership of any commercial or industrial building or structure will increase water and sewer system usage in the future over the usage demonstrated by water and sewer billings during the prior 12 month period. In connection with a review initiated in connection with the submission of an application to the village for any permit, approval, review or other action involving or relating to any change in the use, occupancy, development, construction or ownership of any commercial or industrial building or structure, the applicant shall provide the village with the calculations in divisions (B)(5)(d)1. and 2. of this section, prepared to reflect water and sewer usage after the proposed change in the use, occupancy, development, construction or ownership of any commercial or industrial building or structure.
4. Demolition and new construction. In the case of the demolition of any building or structure connected to the village water and sanitary sewer system and the replacement thereof with a new building, structure or use, the applicant for the demolition permit and building permit for any new proposed building, structure or use shall submit all necessary information to the village to permit the conduct of the review contemplated by division (B)(5)(d)3. of this section, and the applicant shall have the responsibility to demonstrate the sewer and water usage of the building or structure being demolished during the last 12 months of its occupancy prior to demolition, and to pay any additional tap-on fees calculated pursuant to division (B)(5)(d)3. of this section, provided, however, that if the building or structure in question has remained vacant, unused and unoccupied for the five year period preceding the submission of the application for a demolition permit, the applicant shall instead submit the calculations contemplated by divisions (B)(5)(d)1. and 2. of this section as in the case of new construction and the initial tap-on or connection to the village water and sanitary sewer system.
