At such time as a public sewer line shall have been constructed and notice has been provided to abutting property owners to connect to the public sewer line, the township or Authority, as the case may be, shall present a statement to each abutting property owner representing the costs of connection. Each property owner shall pay a proportionate share of the cost of construction, such share being determined according to the number of EDUs provided to the premises versus the total number of EDUs guaranteed to the Authority in a separate agreement with the MTASA, or, in the case of a future expansion of sewer service in the township, according to the cost of construction to be determined for such project. The initial cost of construction for the Zion Hill sewer system shall include the combined cost for a collection sewer line in Springfield Township and a collection sewer line in Milford Township as well as the appurtenant facilities required to convey the sewage to a treatment plant operated by MTASA. The statement to each owner shall further include the sum of $4,500 per EDU for the initial sewer project to be constructed in Zion Hill, or the cost to be fixed from time to time as MTASA increases its fees, or additional sewage facilities are constructed in the township. Payment of the charges shall be due within 30 days and an interest charge for any amount not paid within 30 days shall be due at the rate of 6% per annum or at such interest rate that shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the township. The Authority may provide separate terms to individual residents as the Authority shall see fit, provided all charges shall be uniform for all users.
