(A) Before a sewer tap permit as provided for in this article shall be issued, the owner of the premises from which the connection is to be made shall pay to the City Clerk for each connection a tap fee of $10 and a sewer plant investment fee based on the water meter size as follows.
Water Meter Size | Investment Fee |
3/4" | $200 |
1" | $234 |
1-1/2" | $266 |
2" | $306 |
3" | $434 |
4" | $560 |
(B) If the water meter size to a premises is increased, then the owner of the premises shall, prior to the meter change, pay to the City Clerk an investment fee equal to the difference in the investment fee assigned to the new meter size and the investment fee assigned to the previously existing meter size. A reduction in water meter size shall not require an investment fee nor shall there be any refund of all or any part of an investment fee previously paid for a larger meter.
(C) If the premises abut a street or alley in which the sewer is located; the premises have not previously been included within a district created for the purpose of construction of the sewer; no part of the cost of construction of the sewer has been paid by the owner or previous owner(s) of the premises (the cost of construction shall not include the furnishing of a right-of-way or payment of general taxes or sewer charges); and the cost, or a part of the cost, has been paid by the city; then no permit shall be issued until there is paid a fee of $8 per running foot of the premises abutting the street or alley in which the sewer is located. This fee shall be in addition to the connection fees set out above. Provided, if the sewer was constructed prior to January 1, 1962, then the amount of the additional fee shall not exceed $75. All amounts paid pursuant to this section shall be placed in the Sewer Fund of the city and shall not be refundable.
