All persons discharging or depositing wastes into the public sewers shall pay a sewer service charge as provided for in Chapter
140, Sewer Rates, of the Code of the Village of Clyde.
The volume of flow to be used in computing sewer
service charges and abnormal sewage surcharges shall be based upon
metered water consumption as shown on the records of meter readings
maintained by the Village of Clyde Water Department. In the event
that a person discharging wastes into the POTW produces evidence,
to the Supervisor, demonstrating that a substantial portion of the
total amount of metered water does not reach the POTW, then the Supervisor
shall either establish a percentage of the total metered water to
be used as a basis for such computations, or direct the installation
of appropriate flow measuring (and totalizing) devices to measure
and record the actual amount of flow into the POTW. In the event that
a person discharging wastes into the POTW procures all or part of
his water supply from unmetered sources, the Supervisor shall either
direct the installation of water meters on the other sources of water
supply, or direct the installation of appropriate flow measuring devices
to measure and record the actual amount of flow into the POTW. Any
water meters and/or flow measuring devices installed pursuant to this
section shall be of a type and design acceptable to the Supervisor
and shall be installed, maintained, and periodically tested as required
by the owner, at his expense. All such meters and/or flow measuring
devices shall be subject to periodic inspection, testing, and reading
by the Supervisor. Any person discharging wastes into the POTW may
install a flow measuring device at his option, of the type, design,
installation, and maintenance standards of the Supervisor, at the
owner's expense.
The additional charges and fees associated with
the operation of the pretreatment program shall be assessed the user,
and include:
A. Reimbursement of costs of setting up and operating
the pretreatment program.
C. Monitoring, inspections, and surveillance procedures.
D. Costs of equipment and supplies.
E. Reviewing accidental discharge procedures.
F. Construction inspections.
H. Application for consistent removal status as outlined
in 40 CFR 403.
I. Other reasonable expenses to carry out the program
to satisfy the requirements of this chapter, the NYSDEC, and the federal
government.
The charge for dumping septage into the POTW
shall be $20 per 1,000 gallons dumped. The manner of determining the
volume dumped shall be at the discretion of the Supervisor.
The Village of Clyde may institute an equitable
procedure for recovering the costs of any capital improvements of
those parts of the POTW which collect, pump, treat, and dispose of
industrial wastewaters from those persons discharging such wastewaters
into the POTW.
Provisions of Article
XI of this chapter, relating to the collection of penalties, shall apply to the collection of sewer service charges and abnormal sewage service surcharges, unless where otherwise provided by application of Chapter
140, Sewer Rates.
The Village of Clyde Board shall have the authority
to impose impact fees on new development, which development may:
A. Cause enlargement of the service area of the POTW.
B. Cause increased hydraulic and/or treatment demands
on the POTW.
Revenues derived from user charges and associated
penalties and impact fees shall be credited to a special fund. Monies
in this fund shall be used exclusively for the following functions:
A. For the payment of the operation and maintenance,
including repair and replacement costs of the Village of Clyde POTW.
B. For the discovery and correction of inflow and infiltration.
C. For the payment of interest on and the amortization
of or payment of indebtedness which has been or shall be incurred
for the construction or extension of the Village of Clyde POTW.

additions to the Village of Clyde POTW, including any necessary appurtenances.
E. For penalties and costs associated with exceedances
of industrial sewer use permits.
