There is hereby charged and imposed upon the owner of each EDU to be connected a tapping fee in the amount of $4,000 which shall be due and payable to the Borough, with respect to those owners who are required to connect to the sewer by this Part 1, at the time the connection permit is issued or 60 days after written notice to such owner to connect, whichever date is earlier, and with respect to owners not so required to connect but who desire to do so, prior to the issuance of the connection permit referred to in Article II.
Upon completion of each section of the sewer
system constructed by the Borough, it shall give notice to all owners
of properties required to be connected to such section and for which
a lateral has been constructed to connect to such property and shall
advise the owners of all properties not required to connect of their
opportunity to do so.
The owner of each property required to be connected
to the sewer system and the owner of each property who shall voluntarily
connect such property with the sewer system although not required
to do so shall pay to the Borough its tapping fee of $4,000 for each
EDU connection made.
A developer or other person who shall construct a collection system for two or more units in a new development or housing cluster which is then connected to the sewer system in accordance with the plans approved pursuant to Article VI hereof shall pay the tapping fee of $4,000 for each EDU connection to the sewer system. The Borough's capital contribution fee in effect at the time the request for the EDU connections is made shall be due and payable at the same time as the tapping fee. All such charges and fees shall be paid prior to the signing of the developer agreement for the total number of EDU connections approved for construction as per the plans approved by the developer agreement.
The number of EDU connections and corresponding
connection charges for nonresidential users and outside sewer facilities
shall be based on the actual number of equivalent dwelling units connected
to the system, as determined by the Borough, or the total flow for
any selected five-day period, as selected by the Borough from metering
facilities data, divided by the five days and 262.5 gallons per day
per EDU and rounded upward to the nearest whole number, whichever
is greater. All such charges and fees shall be payable prior to the
time final approval is given for the connection to the sewer system
for the total number of EDU connections.
