There is hereby established in the City of Geneva
a scale of rents to be called "sewer rents", the revenues from which
shall be used for financing and maintaining sewage collection and
treatment facilities. The funds derived from these charges shall be
used for all municipal expenses associated with design, engineering,
construction, improving or maintaining a sewerage system, including
engineering, planning, construction, reconstruction of sewers and
sewage treatment works and all necessary appurtenances thereto, including
pump stations, extension, enlargement, replacement or additions to
the sanitary or stormwater sewer system, separation of sanitary and
stormwater sewers, or the preliminary or other studies and surveys
relative thereto and from the acquisition of land or rights-of-way
for any of the capital improvements.
All charges and moneys collected under provisions
of this article shall be credited to the revenues of the Sewer Rent
Fund for Sewage Facilities which fund is hereby established.
All sums charged for the use of sewers shall be added to the quarterly water bill and collected in the same manner as provided in Article
I of Chapter
341 of the City of Geneva Municipal Code, for the collection of water bills, including penalties and shutting off of water for nonpayment of either water or use of sewers.
