A.
Within
the Village sewer service area, all Village residences, businesses,
industrial or other facilities connected to the sanitary sewer system
shall pay an annual sewer rent as determined and officially adopted
in the annual budget for each tax identification parcel in the Village.
B.
In the event that any parcel of real property in its
entirety falls within more than one of the above classifications,
that classification which produces the greatest number of chargeable
units shall be the one applicable. In the event any parcel of real
property is divisible into two or more classifications, the number
of chargeable units in each classification shall be determined and
the total thereof shall constitute the number of chargeable units
applicable to the entire parcel.

If a sewer district contracts with another municipality
or agency for transmission and treatment of sewage, the number of
chargeable units shall be determined by the applicable ordinances
or laws of the municipality or agency which provides facilities for
transmission and treatment of said sewage.
The Village Board, acting on behalf of the sewer
service area, shall fix and determine the amount of the annual sewer
rent to be charged for each chargeable unit in the service area, both
in the Village of Fairport and the Town of Perinton.
The Village Board, acting on behalf of the sewer
service area, shall fix and determine annually the sewer connection
fee (entrance fee) for all new units making physical connection to

and whether or not the lot had been previously approved for development.
