A. One charge is a universal connection charge and shall be paid by all new users in the service area. It is a charge for acquiring equity in the city’s existing sewer system.
B. The second charge is a reimbursement connection charge and shall be paid only by those new users who benefit from facilities financed all or in part with city funds. It is designed to reimburse the city for each new user’s share of any cash advance made by the city to aid in the financing of a specific improvement constructed for the benefit of such user.

(d) Each user shall pay only one reimbursement connection charge, except those users of the Country Club/Kinsey Road sewer extension and the Timber Ridge sewer extension. In the event of future sewerage improvements, which are financed either all or in part with city funds, a reimbursement connection charge will be established by the city for each improvement.
(e) An applicant whose premises are not supplied with water by the city, but who wishes to use the sanitary sewer services supplied by the city, shall pay the connection charges listed above based on the estimated maximum rate of flow and in accordance with the following schedule:
