This chapter establishes a Water Pollution Control Commission to
aid the City Council in the establishment and implementation of a
user charge system as herein defined, which user charge system is
created to fund the city's wastewater collection and treatment
system for the intended purpose of maintaining an adequate and appropriate
system to prevent unhealthy conditions or the pollution of the area's
waters.
Whereas the City of West Haven has constructed a wastewater treatment
works; and whereas it is the city's intent to establish proportionate
user charges that place the costs of abatement directly on the sources
of pollution, conserve potable water and maintain financial self-sufficiency;
and whereas the city must pay the operation and maintenance expenses
associated with said treatment works and charge the users of said
treatment works accordingly, now, therefore, the following Water Pollution
Control Commission and user charges are established.
All Articles of Chapter 191 of the West Haven Code, entitled "Sewers," which regulate the construction of, connection to and all other aspects pertaining to use of the public sewer system shall continue to govern. Thus, no sewer use provisions are established herein.
