(A) Any person, natural, corporate or otherwise, who connects to or is serviced by the service mains, trunk lines or other facilities which are a part of the system shall pay a tap-in or connection charge to the City upon the date such connection or service commences.
(B) The charge to be levied upon any property currently unassessed by Ordinance Nos. 91-0301 and 92-0501, except as provided in § 52.19 which is connected to or serviced by the project shall be as follows:
(1) The property owner(s) will be responsible for engineering fees necessary to determine the appropriate developable acreage of property. The engineering fees will be credited toward any future assessments that may result in the extension of sewers.
(2) The cost per chargeable acre will be the same as set forth in Ordinance Nos. 91-0301 and 92-0501 plus a standard rate of inflation, with a minimum chargeable area of one acre per parcel.
(3) For properties located within the corporate limits of the City, the reasonable cost of extending the sewer to the property line incurred by the property owner will be credited toward the total cost per developable acre using the formula contained within Ordinance Nos. 91-0301 and 92-0501. Reasonable costs are those costs that are reviewed and approved by the City Engineer.
(4) Properties outside the corporate limits of the City will be reviewed under § 52.21 with costs to be determined based on the formula contained within Ordinance Nos. 91-0301 and 92-0501, the anticipated volume usage proposed, and benefits to the City.
(C) (1) All monies paid to the City for connection to the sewer line within the project area will be used to prepay the interest accrued on the project bond issue for the properties being assessed for sewer service.
(2) In the event the funds raised by future extensions or tap-ins exceed the amount of the interest on the bond issue, the excess funds will be deposited into the City sewer maintenance fund. At such time that the project bond issue for the City is retired, all future tap-ins will be as described in § 52.19 except for those outside the corporate limits of the City, which will continue to be covered under § 52.21.
