All persons discharging or depositing wastes into the public sewers shall pay a sewer service charge proportional to the cost of constructing and maintaining the POTW and POTW treatment plant. Said charge shall be collected as established by the Town Board by resolution.
The Town Board shall establish the aforementioned charges on an annual basis by resolution using the methodology set forth in Schedule A,[1] annexed hereto and made a part hereof, and based on the annual budget of the Sewer District taking into account all debt service, maintenance, repair, administration and operation costs.
All applications and permits required by this Part 2 shall include an application/permit fee of $100. Additionally, before the application or permit can be approved, the applicant or permittee shall pay the cost of any engineering analyses or reviews required by the Town Board for the purposes of processing the application. No permit fee will be charged for those initial service area users who connect to the public sanitary sewer laterals within six months of notice from the Town Board that the POTW system is ready for connection.
All persons discharging or depositing wastes with concentrations in excess of the pollutant concentrations in normal sewage or in volumes exceeding normal volumes shall pay a surcharge to be determined by the Town Board on a case-by-case basis depending on the concentration or volume.
The billing period shall be annual, due as part of the property tax bill, unless otherwise revised by resolution of the Town Board.
The collection of sewer district charges, sewer service charges and abnormal sewage service surcharges, unless where otherwise provided by the Town Board, shall be assessed and collected by the Town Tax Collector and shall be a charge against the property assessed and enforceable in the same manner and methods as real property taxes.
The POTW shall be operated on the basis of a fiscal year commencing on the first day of January and ending on the 31st day of December. The Town shall adopt an annual budget for the Sewer District by November 30 of the preceding fiscal year.
The Town 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; or
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:
A. 
The payment of the operation and maintenance of the Town POTW, including a Capital Reserve Fund for the replacement of short-lived wastewater infrastructure assets;
B. 
The discovery and correction of inflow and infiltration;
C. 
The payment of interest on and the amortization of or payment of indebtedness which has been or shall be incurred for construction or extension of the Town POTW; and

The extension, enlargement, replacement of, and/or additions to the Town POTW, including any necessary appurtenances.
A. 
The Town shall maintain and keep proper books of records and accounts for the POTW, separate from all other records and accounts, in which shall be made full and correct entries of all transactions relating to the POTW. The Town will cause an annual accounting of such books of records and account for the preceding fiscal year, and will supply such report to authorized officials, and the public, on request.
B. 
In conjunction with the accounting, there shall be an annual review of the sewer charge system to determine if it is adequate to meet expenditures for all programs for the coming year. Classification of old and new commercial users should also be reviewed annually. The Town shall maintain and carry insurance on all physical properties of the POTW.
A user of the POTW may file a grievance with the committee, organized pursuant to Article IX, pertaining to EDU assessment and other such issues pertaining to the use of the POTW. A public notice shall be made of the time and place that grievances shall be heard. Grievance day will be the second Tuesday of May in each year. The committee shall make a recommendation on each grievance to the Town Board for its determination.
