The Village does hereby establish and impose
a scale of sewer use charges for the use of the Village disposal system.
The basis for sewer use charges shall be as
follows:
A. If a water rent is levied or charged against a sewer
user, the sewer use charge shall be based on the consumption of water
by the sewer user.
B. If a water rent is levied or charged against a sewer
user and that user discharges substantially more or less wastewater
than the amount of water supplied by the Village, then the Water and
Sewer Board shall fix and determine the sewer use charge applicable
in relation to the amount and type of wastewater discharged.
C. If a sewer user is connected to the Village disposal
system but not connected to the Village water system, then the sewer
user shall install a water meter on the user's water supply source
to monitor the sewer user's water consumption.
D. At his option, a sewer user may, at his own expense
and subject to the approval of the Water and Sewer Board, install,
operate and maintain sewage meters, gauges or other suitable devices
for measuring the amount of wastewater contributed to the disposal
system. In such cases, the quantity of wastewater shall be determined
by such metering devices.
The cost of all flows not directly attributed
to users shall be distributed among all users of the disposal system
in the same manner that the costs of operation and maintenance are
distributed among all users of the disposal system for their actual
use. Any increased costs associated with the management of effluents
and/or sludge and any damage to the treatment plant caused by the
discharge of toxic pollutants shall be paid for by those users discharging
the toxic pollutants.
