§ 53.061 SEWER CONNECTION FEE.
   (A)   Rates. Before any sewer connection permit is issued for the installation of any sewer service connection (side sewer), the person making the application therefor shall pay to the city, a sewer connection fee as set by resolution for each sewer connection per dwelling unit (single-family, duplexes and multiple living units if served by separate service lines), per mobile home lot if located in mobile home courts or mobile home subdivisions, per motel, cabin courts or travel trailer courts and per commercial building. The rate is applicable to a standard four-inch connection. Any request for a different size connection will have a rate charged as determined by the Public Works Committee with approval by the City Council. Industrial facilities connection rates will also be established individually.
   (B)   Exception. The above-referenced sewer connection fee will not apply to or be charged against the reconstruction of any existing sewer service line serving any existing dwelling, building, etc., unless the developer or owner is constructing a different sized line. It is intended that this sewer connection fee be charged only where a new building is being constructed upon previously undeveloped property or in instances when larger sized connections are needed due to business expansion. These fees may be changed from time to time, by resolution of the city as such changes are deemed necessary.
