The sewer connection fee and surcharge shall
be deposited in a capital account that could be accessed by the Sewer
District to repair, upgrade and/or expand the wastewater treatment
plant and the sewer collection system or for such other purposes allowed
under law. The dollar charge per EDU (or per 75 GPD) may be modified
from time to time by the Town Board as necessary to ensure adequate
funding is available for the long-term capital needs of the sewer
district.
The meaning of the terms used in this article
shall be as stated below:
ALLOCATED GPD
The average gallons per day assigned to that tax parcel in accordance with §
103-81 above.
EDU
Water usage proportional to that equivalent to a typical
single-family residence. For purposes of this article, all single-family
residences are assigned one EDU which is equivalent to 300 gallons
of water use per day.
GPD
The thirty-day average gallons per day discharged to the
sewer collection system.
HOUSEHOLD
A dwelling place. Household shall not be construed to mean
rooms or units in hotels, motels, bed-and-breakfast establishments
with six or more rooms to rent, inns, camps, time-share condominiums,
or other facilities intended for visitors and transient occupants
to stay with no intention of residing or maintaining a residency at
that location. For facilities used partly for residential and partly
for nonresidential purposes with common sewer service, that portion
of such facility that is used as a residence shall be treated as a
household for purposes of this section.
NONHOUSEHOLD
Means or includes any user or potential user of the sewer
system other than a household.
TASK 2 GPD
The average gallons per day assigned to that tax parcel in
the Task 2 Report as attached hereto as Appendix A.
TOWN'S PEAK PERIOD
The consecutive three-month period that the sewage plant
receives the greatest flow, based upon a review of historical flow
records, as determined by resolution of the Town Board.
For connections outside of the sewer district, an additional charge will be required to compensate the sewer district for its embedded costs. The additional charge will be determined by the Town Board at the time that a petition is submitted for the extension of the sewer district or to connect to the sewer collection system. The purpose of the additional surcharge is to compensate the sewer district for the value of its sewage treatment plant and collection system which will now be shared with properties outside the sewer district. Any sewer connection for a parcel outside the sewer district to which the Town Board allows to contribute flows, is subject to the rules set forth in Article
XII, although all allocated GPD will be subject to the connection fee.
