In the event that a property does not abut an existing sewer
main and the property owner installs one or more sewer mains beyond
the property for the purpose of connecting the property to the municipal
wastewater system, the property owner shall receive reimbursement
as set forth herein:
A. The Borough shall reimburse the owner an amount equal to the collection
part of each tap-in fee collected as a result of subsequent connections
to the sewer main installed by the owner in an amount equal to and
not exceeding the total costs incurred by the owner for labor and
material, engineering design charges, Borough inspection, televising
charges and dedication charges for the work performed to construct
the sewer main.
B. Said reimbursement shall be paid by the Borough on an as-collected
basis, with payments to the property owner being made annually.
C. In the event that full recoupment has not been made to the owner
within a ten-year period, the Borough's obligation to reimburse the
owner through payment of collection tap-ins arising from subsequent
connections to the line shall cease and terminate and the Borough
shall have no further obligation as to repayment.
D. The Borough shall be entitled to retain from said reimbursement payments
5% thereof for administration.
E. The collection part of the tap-in fee shall be established by the Borough based on the cost of the construction of the sewer main (as set forth hereinabove in Subsection
A) and the number of potential sewer rental units that can connect to the sewer main.
There shall be a sewer certification fee for furnishing and
providing, by mail or otherwise, information pertaining to sewer rental
data, including but not limited to a certification of the status of
payment of sewer rental charges for any single parcel within the Borough
of Lansdale. The sewer certification fee shall be established and
changed from time to time by resolution of Borough Council.
