§ 52.03 STORM SEWER UTILITY FEE.
   (A)   Connection fee. A storm sewer utility fee for the connection and availability of the storm sewer facilities shall be determined by City Council resolution, as adjusted from time to time, and shall be just and equitable. A charge for the connection and availability of storm sewer service may be imposed for all premises abutting on streets or other places where municipal storm sewers are located, whether or not connected to them.
   (B)   Use fee. The storm sewer utility fee for use of the storm sewer facilities shall be determined by City Council resolution, as adjusted from time to time, and shall be just and equitable. Charges made for the use of the facilities may be fixed by reference to the square footage of the property charged, adjusted for a reasonable calculation of the stormwater runoff, or by reference to a reasonable classification of the types of premises to which the service is furnished, or by reference to the quantity, pollution qualities, and difficulty of disposal of stormwater runoff produced, or fixed by any other equitable basis, including, but without limitation, any combination of those aforementioned factors.
   (C)   Adjustments. The City Council may, by resolution, adopt policies and standards for the adjustment of the fees for parcels. Those adjustments shall not be made retroactively.
