There is hereby established in the Village of
Geneseo, Livingston County, New York, a scale of rents to be called
"sewer rents," the revenues from which shall be used for the payment
of the cost of management, maintenance, operation and repair of the
sanitary sewer system, including treatment and disposal works, and,
in the event of any surplus thereafter, may also be used for the enlargement
or replacement of the same and for the payment of the interest on
any debt incurred for the construction of such sanitary sewer system,
including sewage pumping, treatment and disposal works, and for retiring
such debt.
A. The Village shall review at least biannually the wastewater
contributions, total cost of operation and maintenance expenses that
are included in the unit charge for sewer rent and revise the charge
as needed to comply with Federal Regulation CFR 35.929-2(b)(1)-(3).
B. Persons responsible for discharges of toxic wastes
into the sewer system shall pay all costs incurred by the Village
to handle, treat and dispose of the wastes.

flow shall be distributed among all users in accordance with Federal
Regulation CFR 35.929-2(d)(1)-(2).
D. The operation and maintenance costs as determined
by this Article and included in the unit sewer rent charge shall take
precedence over any inconsistent agreements between the Village and
users.

business or industrial property, including factories, manufacturing
facilities, schools, churches, hotels, rooming houses, professional
offices, places of public assemblage, lodges, clubs, and all other
places of business where sewer facilities are available shall pay
an annual sewer rent of $260 annually, payable quarterly, for each

If bills are not paid within 20 days from date

days and advising that the sewer service and/or water service are
subject to discontinuance, and after the expiration of the period
specified in the notice, such sewer service and/or water service shall
be subject to discontinuance without further notice.
A charge of $10 will be made for discontinuance
or reconnection of such service on account of nonpayment of sewer
rents, which charge or charges will be treated as sewer rents.
