(a) The purpose of this section is to implement a contract for the treatment of wastes from Barrwood Estates Subdivision, entered into between the Village of Chagrin Falls and the Village of South Russell and authorized by the Council of the Village of South Russell on November 11, 1985.
(b) “Property owners” means the record owners of all property situated on the common boundary of Chagrin Falls and South Russell, having sanitary sewers installed and approved by South Russell. All property owners shall connect to such sewers for the disposal of all sanitary waste from such property, and the property owners shall pay to the Village of Chagrin Falls an original tap-in charge of one thousand dollars ($1,000). This charge shall apply to all original tap- ins made after June 27, 1985.
(c) The tap-in charge assessed in subsection (b) hereof shall be paid within thirty days of the date upon which the original connection to the sanitary sewer is completed, as determined by the South Russell Village Engineer.
(d) All tap-in charges which are not paid in accordance with the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) hereof, shall constitute a lien on the property and shall be collected in the same manner as other Village of South Russell taxes, in accordance with Ohio R.C. Chapter 729.
(e) After payment of the tap-in charge to Chagrin Falls, each property owner shall pay to Chagrin Falls a quarterly charge as established by the Chagrin Falls Water Department regulations as amended from time to time. Anytime hereafter that Chagrin Falls increases charges to its own resident users, the same percentage increase shall apply to each property owner. No notice to the property owner shall be required of Chagrin Falls, other than the notice, if any, given by Chagrin Falls to its resident users. Failure of any property owner to make any payment required herein within thirty days of the date due, will authorize the Village of Chagrin Falls to disconnect said property and terminate the service provided herein. Any re-connection of such terminated property owner will require payment of another original tap-in charge required under subsection (b) hereof, as well as payment of all delinquent bills and two months’ advance payment.
(f) In addition to the provisions of subsection (e) hereof, all charges which are not paid as required in subsection (e) shall constitute a lien on the property and shall be collected in the same manner as other Village of South Russell taxes, in accordance with Ohio R.C. Chapter 729.
(g) All sewer connections required by this section shall be approved by the Engineer of the Village of South Russell.
(h) No roof drain, sump pump, storm drains or footer drains shall be connected to the sanitary sewer.
(i) All repair and maintenance of sewer lines or connections from any building or structure located on property subject to the provisions of this section shall be at the sole cost and expense of the property owner.
(j) All costs for repairs and maintenance on the common sewer lines serving the properties subject to this section may be assessed against all property owners connected to the sewer lines as provided in Ohio R.C. Chapter 729.
(k) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the Village of South Russell from constructing its own trunk sewer line at some future date, and assessing the costs of such line as provided in Ohio R.C. Chapter 729. (Ord. 1986-27. Passed 4-28-86.)
