(A) Rotary fee policy.
(1) A connection charge will be required for new connections to a water and/or sewer main that has previously been extended to, along, and/or across a property without an assessment against the property having been made, or without cost to the owner of the property at the time the extension was completed. The funds realized from connection charges will be deposited in a rotary water and/or sewer main fund. These charges shall be paid at the time of application for service. Connection charges are provided in the current rate schedule.
(2) Developers or individuals who extend a water and/or sewer main at their cost are entitled to be reimbursed from the connection charges collected from property owners who connect to the water and/or sewer main that they have extended. Reimbursement will cease seven years after the water and/or sewer main has been placed in service. If the cost of the project is supplemented by the village, the developer or individual will be reimbursed only his or her proportionate share.
(3) In order to be eligible for reimbursement, the developer or individual who extended the water and/or sewer main must file with the village a notarized statement of the actual footage and final cost of the water and/or sewer main extension within 90 days of the completion of the project, and pay an administrative fee equal to 5% of the actual final cost. The administrative fee is to cover the village’s cost of maintaining records on new connections, receiving and remitting connection charges, and the like.
(4) Actual final cost of a water and/or sewer main extension shall include all items of material and labor, including costs occasioned by opening of pavement, street surfacing, and rock excavation together with allowances for engineering and general office expense pertaining to the purchase, storage, delivery, and installation of all materials necessary for the extension.
(5) Failure to file the notarized statement of actual final cost within the time required will result in the developer or individual being ineligible for reimbursement.
(6) If a direct tap is made off of the extended water and/or sewerline, the rate of reimbursement shall be in accordance with the current rate schedule.
(7) If a water and/or sewer main extension is further extended by another developer or individual within the seven-year period, and the initial developer or individual is eligible for reimbursement, the developer or individual making the second extension shall pay a connection charge equal to one-half the amount of the actual final cost of the initial extension that is not reimbursed.
(8) If a developer or individual installs a branch main that connects to a water and/or sewer main extended by another developer or individual within the seven-year period, and the initial developer or individual is eligible for reimbursement, the second developer or individual shall pay a connection charge equal to one-half of the average unit cost per foot of the not-reimbursed portion of the initial extension multiplied by the number of feet from the beginning of the initial extension to the point at which the branch main connection is made.
(9) In no case will the developer or individual responsible for the water and/or sewer main extension be eligible to recover more than 100% of the actual final cost of the extension.
(B) Water and sewer rotary fees. The following table shows the rotary fee per foot of frontage based on diameter and depth of the water/sewer main. The base is $22 per foot for an eight-, ten-, or 12-inch water/sewer main installed at a standard depth of eight feet or less. For each additional two feet of depth, or part thereof, the base rate is increased by 8% compounded. The minimum rotary fee shall be $200.
