(A) (1) There is hereby levied and charged on each lot, parcel of land and premises served by or having sewer connection with the sanitary sewer system of the town or otherwise discharging sanitary sewage, industrial wastes, water or other liquids, either directly or indirectly, into the town’s sanitary sewer system, a sewer service charge or rental which shall be payable as and in an amount established by the Board of Trustees from time to time.
(2) From time to time, the Board of Trustees shall also determine and establish rates and charges for tap fees, disconnection fees, reconnection fees and reasonable penalties for any delinquencies, including, but not limited to, interest from any date due at a rate not exceeding 1% per month or a fraction thereof, reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs of collection. Over and above the rates and charges established by this section, there may be established, in special instances and by special agreement between the town and the owner of any premises served by the town’s sewer system, such additional charges for commercial or industrial wastes of unusual strength or composition that are accepted by the town for treatment as may be determined to be fair and equitable. Each such special agreement and charges established therefor shall not become effective until ratified by resolution passed by the Board of Trustees.
(B) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent any special agreement or arrangement between the town and other municipalities, quasi-municipalities, sanitation districts, additions and development areas outside the town concerning sewage facilities, which shall not become effective until ratified by resolution passed by the Board of Trustees; provided that the rates established by such agreement or arrangement shall not be less than one and one-half times the rate for the same class of users within the town.
