[Amended 9-19-2005 by L.L. No. 11-2005]
A.
Those desirous of making permanent connections to
the sanitary sewer system of the Village of Canton shall make application
to the Village Superintendent for permission therefor and shall pay
to the Village of Canton at the time of making said application the
sum of $50 for each connection that must be made. Nothing herein shall
be construed as prohibiting the Village Superintendent from requiring
a greater charge for such connections when, in the opinion of the
Superintendent, conditions or other circumstances are such that a
greater charge is merited. It shall be in the discretion of the Village
Superintendent to fix and determine such greater charge.
B.
All persons discharging or depositing wastes into
the public sewers of the Village of Canton shall pay a sewer service
charge proportional to the liquid volume of waste so deposited, which
charge shall be collected as a sewer rent.
All persons discharging or depositing wastes
with concentrations in excess of the pollutant concentrations in normal
sewage shall pay a surcharge.
The total sewer service charge shall be as established by Chapter 257 of the Code of the Village of Canton.
The service area of the POTW may be segmented
to assist in a fair distribution of user charges, especially if there
is a pump station serving a segment.
The volume of flow to be used in computing sewer
service charges and abnormal sewage surcharges shall be based upon
metered water consumption as shown on the records of meter readings
maintained by the Village of Canton Water Department. In the event
that a person discharging wastes into the POTW produces evidence to
the Superintendent demonstrating that a substantial portion of the
total amount of metered water does not reach the POTW, then the Superintendent
shall either establish a percentage of the total metered water to
be used as a basis for such computations or direct the installation
of appropriate flow measuring (and totalizing) devices to measure
and record the actual amount of flow into the POTW. In the event that
a person discharging wastes into the POTW procures all or part of
his water supply from unmetered sources, the Superintendent shall
either direct the installation of water meters on the other sources
of water supply or direct the installation of appropriate flow measuring
devices to measure and record the actual amount of flow into the POTW.
Any water meters and/or flow measuring devices installed pursuant
to this section shall be of a type and design acceptable to the Superintendent
and shall be installed, maintained and periodically tested, as required
by the Superintendent, at the owner's expense. All such meters and/or
flow measuring devices shall be subject to periodic inspection, testing
and reading by the Superintendent. Any person discharging wastes into
the POTW may install a flow measuring device, at his option, of the
type, design, installation and maintenance standards of the Superintendent,
at the owner's expense.
The billing period shall be monthly for industrial
and quarterly for nonindustrial users.
The additional charges and fees associated with
the operation of the pretreatment program shall be assessed against
the user, and include:
A.
Reimbursement of costs of setting up and operating
the pretreatment program.
B.
Issuing permits.
C.
Monitoring, inspections and surveillance procedures.
D.
Costs of equipment and supplies.
E.
Reviewing accidental discharge procedures.
F.
Construction inspections.
G.
Filing appeals.
H.
Application for consistent removal status as outlined
in 40 CFR 403.
I.
Other reasonable expenses to carry out the program
to satisfy the requirements of this chapter, NYSDEC and the federal
government.

The charge for dumping septage into the POTW from
recreational vehicles shall be $30.
B.
C.
The charge
for dumping septage into the POTW, whether from recreational vehicles
or other trucked and hauled sources, may hereafter be amended by resolution
of the Village Board of Trustees, following public hearing.
D.
The charge
for dumping leachate into the POTW shall be two cents per gallon less
than the rate then being charged for trucked or hauled septage. Notwithstanding,
the rate to be charged to municipalities who wish to dump leachate
into the POTW shall be determined by resolution of the Board of Trustees
on a case-by-case basis. It shall be the hauler's responsibility to
verify that material is leachate, not septage.
The Village of Canton may institute an equitable
procedure for recovering the costs of any capital improvements of
those parts of the POTW which collect, pump, treat and dispose of
industrial wastewaters from those persons discharging such wastewaters
into the POTW.
The POTW shall be operated on the basis of a
fiscal year commencing on the first day of June and ending on the
31st day of May.
The Village of Canton Board shall have the authority
to impose impact fees on new development, which development may:
Revenues derived from user charges and associated
penalties and impact fees shall be credited to the sewer fund. Moneys
in this fund shall be used exclusively for the following functions:
A.
For the payment of the operation and maintenance,
including repair and replacement costs, of the Village of Canton POTW.
B.
For the discovery and correction of inflow and infiltration.
C.
For the payment of interest on and the amortization
of or payment of indebtedness which has been or shall be incurred
for the construction or extension of the Village of Canton POTW.
D.
For the extension, enlargement, replacement of and/or
additions to the Village of Canton POTW, including any necessary appurtenances.

The Village of Canton shall maintain and keep proper
books of records and accounts for the POTW, separate from all other
records and accounts, in which shall be made full and correct entries
of all transactions relating to the POTW.
B.
There shall be an annual review of the sewer charge
system to determine if it is adequate to meet expenditures for all
programs for the coming year.
C.
Classification of old and new industrial users should
also be reviewed annually.
