This chapter regulates the use of public and private sewers and drains,
discharge of septage into the public sewage system, and the discharge
of waters and wastes into the public sewage systems within the Village
service area. It provides for and explains the method used for levying
and collecting wastewater treatment service charges, sets uniform
requirements for discharges into the treatment system, and enables
the Village to comply with administrative provisions and other discharge
criteria that are required or authorized by the State of Wisconsin
or federal law. Its intent is to derive the maximum public benefit
by regulating the characteristics of wastewater discharged into the
Village sewage system.
This chapter provides a means for determining wastewater and septage
volumes, constituents, and characteristics; the setting of charges
and fees; and the issuing of permits to certain users. Revenues derived
from the application of this chapter shall be used to defray the costs
of operating and maintaining adequate wastewater treatment systems
and to provide sufficient funds for capital outlay, debt service costs,
and capital improvements. The charges and fees herein shall be established
pursuant to the requirements of the Wisconsin Statutes.
The Village may amend this chapter in part or in whole as it
deems necessary, and in the manner provided by law.
