(b) The Director of Public Service and Properties shall not issue a permit until the applicant therefor shall have paid a charge of one hundred dollars ($100.00), which is intended to reimburse the City for the reasonable expenses of inspection and other administrative costs related to the making of connections to the system.
(Ord. 17-1992. Passed 3-23-92.)
(c) Where a connection is to be made into the system and the property to be connected has not been assessed at the time of application for the permit for a portion of the cost of constructing the trunk or intercepting sewers serving such property, the Director of Public Service and Properties shall not issue a permit until the applicant therefor shall have paid, in addition to the applicable charges specified in subsections (b) and (d) hereof, a connection charge calculated by determining the number of use benefits in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 722.01 hereof and multiplying the number of use benefits by one thousand three hundred fifty-one dollars and fifty cents ($1,351.50).
(d) Where a connection is to be made directly into a trunk or lateral sewer or into a service sewer which connects directly to a trunk or lateral sewer and the property to be connected has not been assessed at the time of application for the permit for a portion of the cost of constructing that trunk or lateral sewer, unless the trunk or lateral sewer was constructed without cost to the City, the Director of Public Service and Properties shall not issue a permit until the applicant therefor shall have paid, in addition to the applicable charges specified in subsection (b) and (c) hereof, a connection charge calculated by determining the number of use benefits in accordance with the schedule set forth in Section 722.01 and multiplying the number of use benefits by six thousand two hundred fifty dollars ($6,250).
(e) The charges as determined under subsections (c) and (d) hereof shall be increased by an amount equal to six percent (6%) of the initial charge on January 1, 1995, and on January 1, of each year thereafter, and those charges as so increased and when added to the charge as set forth in subsection (b) hereof shall be the total connection permit charge. The incremental charges as set forth in this subsection are designed to offset interest costs incurred by the City in constructing the system.
