[Amended 2-13-2017 by L.L. No. 1-2017]
A. The sewer rent assigned to any property owner who is not connected to the public water supply system, but who is connected to the public sewers, shall be established by the Village as outlined in the schedule in §
193-43.
B. The sewer service charge assigned to any property owner with both
a public and private water supply whose contribution of sewage to
the public sewers exceeds the volume of public water consumed by that
owner, as evidenced by his or her water bill, shall be established
by the Village. The basis for determining such sewer rent shall be
the estimated or measured volume of sewage entering the public sewers.
Sewer service charges shall be billed quarterly.
[Amended 2-13-2017 by L.L. No. 1-2017]
Each property owner of the Village of Central Square who shall
owe to the Village a sewer rent or service charge for more than 30
days following the bill's date shall have added to such bill
and shall pay in addition to the amount thereof a penalty for the
first month following such period and an additional penalty for each
month thereafter that the same remains unpaid. Said penalties shall
be estimated from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
Sewer service charges shall constitute a lien
upon the real property served by sewers, and such lien is prior to
every other lien or claim, except the lien of an existing tax, water
rent or local assessment.
