[Amended 11-3-2014; 7-7-2015]
All charges for sewerage service shall be made monthly and billed quarterly and shall be payable to the Village Clerk-Treasurer not later than 20 days after the end of each period. A penalty of 1.5% per month shall be added to all bills not paid by the date fixed for final payment. Property owners shall be billed for rental units.
[Amended 11-3-2014]
All sewer service charges, including the initial connection charge and monthly user charge, shall be a lien upon the property serviced, pursuant to § 66.0821, Wis. Stats., and shall be collected in the manner therein provided.
The amounts received from the collection of charges authorized by this chapter shall be credited to a wastewater facilities account, which shall show all receipts and expenditures of the wastewater facilities. Charges collected for replacement expenses shall be credited to a segregated, nonlapsing replacement account. These funds are to be used exclusively for replacement. When appropriated by the Village Board, the credits to the account shall be available for the payment of costs of wastewater facilities consistent with Ch. NR 162, Wis. Adm. Code. All present outstanding sewer system general obligation bonds, including refunding bonds, shall be paid from this fund as to both principal and interest.
Additional charges shall be imposed upon each lot, parcel of land, building or premises served by public sewer and wastewater facilities located outside the boundaries of the Village to equalize local capital costs.
Any surplus remaining after payment of debt service charges, operation and maintenance, and replacement costs shall be credited to the following year's operation and maintenance account. Excess revenues collected from a user class will be applied to operation and maintenance costs attributable to that class for the next year.
