(A) A debt service charge shall be levied on all users of the wastewater treatment works to provide funds necessary to meet all principal and interest payments on the village’s share of the wastewater treatment works construction and to generate funds for new capital improvements in the wastewater treatment works (including the collection system). The method to be used to establish the debt service charges for wastes within the limits of normal concentrations (as defined in § 51.052) shall be defined in this section. The method to be used to establish the debt service charge - extra strength surcharge for wastes in excess of normal concentrations shall be defined in § 51.159.
(B) The volume of wastewater from each user shall be subject to a base debt service charge per 1,000 gallons, as follows:
(1) Charges for each billing period during a calendar year shall be based upon the following values for that calendar year:
(a) Total debt service payments attributable to the wastewater treatment works (and attributable to sanitary sewer charges as the source of revenues for such payments);
(b) The annual budget amount established by the Village Council to be allocated for new capital improvements in the wastewater treatment works; and
(c) Estimated total water consumption subject to sanitary sewer charges.
(2) The base debt service charge per 1,000 gallons shall equal:
(a) Total debt service payments pursuant to division (B)(1)(a) above; plus
(b) Annual budget amount for new capital improvements pursuant to division (B)(1)(b) above; and
(c) Estimated water consumption subject to sanitary sewer charges, in 1,000 gallons.
(D) In addition to the charges set forth in division (A) above, an infiltration and inflow (I&I) capital expansion charge shall be made for each tap into the sanitary sewerage system. This portion of the capital expansion charge shall be $2 for each gallon per day (gpd) entering the sewerage system from within the village and $4 for each gallon per day entering the sewerage system from outside the village. The flow used in the calculation of this charge shall be determined by using one of the methods described in division (D)(1), (D)(2) or (D)(3) below.
(1) (a) If the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has issued a permit to install for all of the facilities tributary to a tap, this charge shall be based on the average daily design flow in gpd as stated in the application for the permit to install.
(b) Flows shall be based upon the Ohio EPA Flow Guide attached as Appendix A, adopted by reference as if set out in full herein.
(2) If all of the facilities tributary to a tap are residential, this charge shall be based on a flow of 400 gpd per dwelling unit ($800 inside the village per home; $1,600 outside the village per home.)
(3) If the facilities tributary to a tap do not meet the parameters of division (D)(1) or (D)(2) above, the sewer customer shall submit all information necessary, including supporting data acceptable to the village, to establish an average design flow for the facilities.
