(a) Generally. Every person connecting with the wastewater system shall file an application in writing to the Village Clerk on such forms as are prescribed for that purpose. Blanks for such applications will be furnished at the office of the Village Clerk. The application must state fully and truly all the use which will be requested, except upon further application and permission regularly obtained from said Approving Authority. If the applicant is not the owner of the premises connected to the wastewater system, written consent of the owner must accompany the application. Persons connected to the sewer system are referred to herein as “users.”
(b) Multi-service applications. Subject to approval by the Approving Authority, the application may be for service to more than one building or more than one unit of service through one lateral connection, and in such case, charges shall be made accordingly. This notwithstanding, though, in accord with § 9-2-24(b)(4), the use of a single lateral to service two or more buildings shall only exist with respect to pre-existing buildings served by a pre-existing lateral. All new construction after the effective date of this chapter shall require installation of separate laterals to service each building, even if those buildings are constructed on the same lot, parcel, or tract of land.
(c) Approval or rejection of application. If it appears that the service applied for will not provide adequate service for the contemplated use, the Approving Authority may reject the application. If the Approving Authority approves the application, a permit shall be issued for services as shown on the application.
(d) Payment for connection application. Prior to the issuance of the approval for service, users shall pay the connection charge designated in the rate resolution. If the lateral construction cost to the Utility exceeds the amount identified in the rate resolution, then the user will be required to pay the former cost.
