owner of any houses, buildings or properties used for human occupancy,
employment, recreation, or other habitations, situated within the
City and adjacent to a public sewer or in a block through which a
public sewer extends, is hereby required at his expense to install
suitable toilet facilities therein and to connect such facilities
directly with the proper public sewer in accordance with the provisions
of this chapter within nine months after the public sewer first becomes
operational or, if an immediate health hazard exists, within 30 days
upon receipt of notice from the Health Officer or City Building Inspector.
(2)
Prior to any person or entity applying for a sanitary permit to allow
for a private sewerage system, all such persons or entities making
such application shall apply for a determination from the City that
public sewer is not available. Upon determination of sewer being unavailable,
application for permit will be allowed.
[Amended 12-7-2000 by Ord. No. 1049]
(3)
If a person fails to comply with said notice to connect within the
given period of time the City may, at its option:
(a)
Cause such connection to be made and bill the property owner
for such costs. If such costs are not paid within 30 days, such costs
shall be assessed as a special tax lien against the property, unless
the owner within 30 days after the completion of the work files a
written option with the City Clerk-Treasurer stating that he cannot
pay such amount in one sum and asking that it be levied in not to
exceed five equal annual installments, and the amount shall be so
collected with interest at the rate of 9% per annum from the completion
of the work, the unpaid balance to be a special tax lien; or
(b)
Impose a standby charge for the period that such failure continues after 10 days' written notice to any owner failing to make a connection to the sewerage system of an amount equal to 100% of the total charges calculated pursuant to § 290-7B and C, payable monthly for the period in which the failure to connect continues, and upon failure to make such a payment, said charge shall be levied as a tax against the lot or parcel to which sewer service was furnished.
C.
Alternative disposal prohibited.
(1)
No person shall construct or maintain any privy vault, septic tank,
cesspool or other facility intended to be used for the disposal of
domestic wastewater, if a public sewer is available.

or public service right-of-way, this requirement is not applicable.
E.
Maintenance of services. All sewer services within the limits of
the City from the street main to the property line, and including
all controls between the same, shall be maintained and repaired without
expense to the property owner except when they are damaged as a result
of negligence or carelessness on the part of the property owner, in
which case they will be repaired at the expense of the property owner.
All building sewers and all facilities throughout the premises served
must be maintained free of defective conditions by and at the expense
of the owner or occupant of the property served. If any repairs are
made by the City, the City will issue a statement for the expenses
of the repairs to the property owner who shall pay said statement
within 30 days of receipt. Failure to pay shall result in the charges
being placed on the tax roll as a special charge under § 66.0627,
Wis. Stats.

[Added 8-22-2002 by Ord. No. 1113]
A.
General.
(1)
It shall be the policy of the Utility to establish sewer service
charges in such amount as to obtain sufficient revenues to pay the
following costs:
(2)
Those aspects of sewer service charges relating to operation, maintenance
and replacement fund shall be in accord with any relevant and applicable
requirements imposed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
or by federal law.
(3)
The Utility may establish sewer service charges, including connection
charges, consumption charges, ready to serve charges and other charges,
as deemed necessary by the approving authority so as to assure that
each user of the sewerage system pays its proportionate share of the
cost of such facilities.
(4)
A review of the user charge system shall be conducted on an annual
basis. This review shall include an analysis of the total costs of
the system and of wastewater contribution of users and user classes.
(5)
The charges established hereunder will be developed using a utility
rate making method that includes recovery of operation and maintenance
costs plus depreciation, amortization and a return on investment.
The computation of revenue requirements for rate making purposes will
include reductions for City subsidies, other revenues and operating
reserves.
B.
Consumption charge. A consumption charge is hereby imposed upon all
users of the sewerage system. The consumption charge will recover
the component of total operation, maintenance and capital costs of
the sewerage system that relates to sewage flow attributable to users
of the system. The consumption charge shall consist of a charge in
terms of dollars per 1,000 gallons. The consumption charge shall be
based upon metered water usage or an assigned residential equivalent
connection (REC) value. All single-family residences or stand alone
or detached condominiums shall be assigned an REC value of one. For
all users other than single-family residences, stand alone or detached
condominiums, duplexes or duplex condominiums, the consumption charge
shall be based upon metered water usage. For all users that do not
have water meters installed, other than single-family residences or
stand alone or detached condominiums, the consumption charge shall

upon the methodology set forth in the estimated volume of discharge
section of the current volume of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage
District Cost Recovery and Procedures Manual as may be amended from
time to time.
| ||
|
All buildings shall be assigned a minimum value of one REC.
Exception: In the case of a business property with multiple buildings,
the property shall be assessed a minimum of one REC for the main building
and an additional minimum 0.5 REC for each additional building connected
to sewer, if the property meets all of the following criteria:
| ||
|
1.
|
The property may not be able to be divided as determined by
the Public Works and Development Director or designee.
| |
|
2.
|
The property must be occupied by the same business for all of
the buildings.
| |
C.
Connection charge. A connection charge is hereby imposed upon each
user connected to the sewerage system. The connection charge shall
recover the cost of infiltration and inflow in the sewerage system.
The connection charge shall be levied on each lateral connection to
the sewerage system and will consist of a flat fee per connection.
Laterals that have multiunit condominium dwellings connected to them
shall have the cost of the lateral connection divided proportionately
to each of the users of the lateral.
D.
Special rates. It is understood that the approving authority may
at any time hereafter set special rates for certain users. Any user
discharging wastewater other than domestic wastewater or any toxic
pollutants, wastewater or other wastes to the sewerage system shall
pay for the increased operation, maintenance and replacement costs
caused by its discharge.
E.
Industrial and commercial charges for other than domestic wastewater.
Charges made for wastewater and other than domestic wastewater shall
be based on flow, BOD, suspended solids, phosphorous and other such
constituents that affect the cost of collection and treatment. All
persons discharging waste into the sewerage system are subject to
a surcharge, in addition to any other sewer service charge, if their
wastewater has a concentration greater than domestic wastewater concentrations.
The volume of flow used for computing waste surcharges shall be the
metered water consumption or the actual volume of waste as determined
by an industrial waste metering installation. The amount of surcharge
shall reflect the cost incurred by the City, the Town of Norway Sanitary
District, and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD)
in removing BOD, suspended solids, phosphorous, and other pertinent
constituents. The total commercial and industrial service charges
shall consist of the actual surcharge from the MMSD or the Town of
Norway Sanitary District No. 1 submitted to the City of Muskego plus
the connection charge and the consumption charge from the City.
F.
Initial construction fee. For each new lateral or service connection
there shall be charged a fee in an amount as may be established by
the Common Council from time to time by separate resolution. This
fee shall be paid to the City at the time of building permit or plumbing
permit issuance.
G.
Reserve capacity assessments. There is hereby levied and assessed
upon each lot or parcel of land currently within the City but not
having an existing connection to the sewerage system and upon land
subsequently attached to the City a reserve capacity assessment (RCA).
Such RCA charge shall be payable as herein provided and shall be on
the basis of one RCA charge for each residential equivalent connection
connected to the sewerage system. The number of residential equivalent
connections shall be calculated in accordance with Appendix A.[1]
(1)
For the purpose of this chapter, sewer reserve capacity assessments
in the City shall be classified as existing users and future users.
[Amended 5-28-2019 by Ord. No.
1429]
(a)
Existing users.
[1]
Property owners whose improved lot has been connected to City
sewer prior to January 1, 1985, will pay a reserve capacity assessment
of $250 per residential equivalency connection.
[2]
Properties being served prior to public sewer connection by
septic systems, mounds and holding tanks will pay this assessment
on or before November 1 in the year the plumbing permit is obtained
to connect to the sewer, except that if said permit is obtained after
November 1 in any calendar year, the assessment will be paid on or
before November 1 of the next calendar year. This assessment of $250
shall increase by $22.50 per residential equivalency connection per
year, commencing January 1, 1986.
(b)
Future users.
[1]
Properties where public sewer connection takes place or additional
capacity is made available after January 1, 1985, and which are not
being served by a septic system, mounds or holding tank will pay a
reserve capacity assessment of $1,500 per residential equivalency
connection on or before November 1 of the year of connection or the
year when additional capacity is made available, except that if said
connection or additional capacity is made available after November
1 in any calendar year, the assessment will be paid on or before November
1 of the next calendar year. This reserve capacity assessment will
increase by $135 each January 1 commencing on January 1, 1986.
[2]
The number of residential equivalency units for all categories
of future users for reserve capacity assessment purposes shall be
determined upon final building inspection, as a result of possible
revisions made to the building by the developer from the time of the
issuance of the building permit to the time of final inspection, which
determination may be appealed to the City of Muskego Public Works
and Safety Committee within 60 days of said determination. All determinations
of the number of residential equivalency units shall take into consideration
potential future use and necessary capacity.
[3]
Upon request, the City Engineer can provide an estimate at the
time of issuance of a building permit on the number of residential
equivalency units for all categories of future users for reserve capacity
assessment purposes. This is an estimate only which is not binding
on the City and which developer shall rely on at its own risk.
(2)
Installment
payments.
(a)
The assessments for those connecting to the City of Muskego
sewerage system on or before September 7, 1984, may be paid in cash
in full on or before November 1, 1984, or in five equal annual installments
of principal together with 12 months' interest per installment at
the rate of 9% per annum on the unpaid balance commencing on November
1, 1984, and said first installment being due on the date when real
estate taxes are due and annually thereafter. All assessments or installments
which are not paid by the date specified shall be extended upon the
tax roll as a delinquent tax against the property, and all proceedings
in relation to the collection, return and sale of property for delinquent
real estate taxes shall apply to such special assessment, except as
otherwise provided by statute. Existing users as defined above who
are not connected will be given the five installment method; provided,
however, that the first installment shall be due and payable on or
before November 1 in the year the plumbing permit is issued, except
that if said permit is obtained after November 1 in any calendar year
the assessment will be paid on or before November 1 of the next calendar
year. All annual installments due on the first day of November 1996
and thereafter shall bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum on
the same basis as stated above until further action of the Common
Council.
(b)
Future users may pay their assessment in five equal annual installments
of principal together with 12 months' interest per installment at
the rate of 9% per annum commencing on November 1 in the year of connection
or in the year additional capacity is made available, except if said
connection or additional capacity is made available after November
1 in any calendar year, then commencing on November 1 of the next
calendar year and said first installment being due on the date when
real estate taxes are due and annually thereafter. All assessments
or installments which are not paid by the date specified shall be

Editor's Note: Appendix A is included as an attachment to this chapter.
H.
Ready-to-serve charge. The owner of each premises to which sewer service has been provided by the City but not connected to the sewerage system for sewer service where no indoor plumbing is available shall pay for the availability thereof a ready-to-serve charge equal to the rate provided by Subsection C. A ready-to-serve charge is not a standby charge and applies only to existing structures without indoor plumbing. Any ready-to-serve charge becoming effective during any year shall be charged on a pro rata basis for that year in which such charge becomes effective.
I.
Vacant buildings.
(1)
Any previously connected industrial building which is now vacant,
or any commercial or industrial building which is vacant due to initial
construction, shall be assigned 1.0 REC for purposes of consumption
charges. Such REC assignment will become effective at the end of the
quarterly period in which such building becomes vacant if the owner,
or the owner's agent, notifies the City Clerk-Treasurer in writing
of such vacancy and upon inspection thereof by the City to determine
that such building is vacant. The owner or the owner's agent
shall pay a fee in such amount as will be determined from time to
time by resolution of the Common Council to the City for such an inspection.
The fee for said inspection shall be paid prior to the inspection
being made and is nonrefundable.
(2)
It shall be the duty of the owner of any vacant commercial or industrial
building to notify the City Clerk-Treasurer in writing within five
days from the date any such building, or any portion thereof, is reoccupied.
The sewer user charge for the quarter that any such building or any
portion thereof is reoccupied shall be prorated for such quarter.
(3)
If such owner fails to notify the City Clerk-Treasurer of reoccupancy
of said building or any portion thereof as herein provided, then 200%
of the sewer user charge shall be assessed against said building until
such notice is received. The notice to be given shall describe the
premises and uses involved and the date the premises is reoccupied.
A.
On an annual basis and prior to December 1 of each year, the Finance
and Administration Director shall prepare a Sewer Utility budget.
The budgeted expenditures shall be incorporated into the annual sewer
user rate review. The budgeted revenues shall be sufficient to cover
projected operation, maintenance and debt service costs of the Sewer
Utility and any contributions to replacement or reserve accounts as
may be deemed necessary.
B.
Sewer service charges may be billed monthly, bimonthly or quarterly
and will be billed in the period after which services are received.
Charges shall be payable at the City Clerk-Treasurer's office
or at any other officially designated location. Statements for such
charges and assessments levied and assessed in accordance with this
chapter shall become due and payable within 30 days from and after
the date of the statement. In the event that any such statement or
statements are not paid when due, a penalty of 1% per month will be
added thereto.
[Amended 7-5-2001 by Ord. No. 1072]
C.
Billing. The property owner is held responsible for all sewer bills
on premises that he owns. All sewer bills and notices of any nature,
relative to the sewer service, will be addressed to the owner and/or
occupant and delivered to the addressee by first-class mail.
D.
Failure to receive bill. Every reasonable care will be exercised
in the proper delivery of sewer bills. Failure to receive a sewer
bill, however, shall not relieve any person of the responsibility
for payment of sewer rates within the prescribed period, nor exempt
any person from any penalty imposed for delinquency in the payment
thereof.
E.
Delinquent accounts.
(1)
On or before October 1 of each year, the Sewer Utility shall furnish
the City Clerk-Treasurer with a listing of all lots or parcels for
which utility charges are still owed for service provided in the year
preceding October 1.
(2)
On October 15 in each year, the City Clerk-Treasurer shall give notice
to the owner or occupant of all lots or parcels of real estate for
which payment is owed and in arrears at the time that the notice is
given. Such notice shall be in writing and shall state the amount
of such arrears, including any penalty assessed pursuant to the rules
of the City. The notice shall also state that unless such arrears,
with any such added penalty, are paid by November 1, thereafter a
penalty of 10% of the amount of such arrears will be added thereto,
and that unless such arrears, with any such added penalty, shall be
paid by November 15 thereafter, the same will be levied as a tax against
the lot or parcel of real estate to which utility service was furnished
and for which payment is delinquent. Such notice may be served by
delivery to either such owner or occupant personally or by letter
addressed to such owner or occupant at the post office address of
such lot or parcel of real estate. Failure to serve or receive such
notice, however, shall not relieve any person of the responsibility
for payment for services that have been furnished, nor exempt any
person from any penalty imposed for delinquency in the payment thereof,
nor exempt the property from imposition of a lien as provided herein.
(3)
On November 16, the City Clerk-Treasurer shall certify and file a
list of all lots or parcels of real estate, giving the legal descriptions
thereof, for which the owners or occupants were given notice of arrears
in payment as above specified and for which arrears still remain unpaid.
The list shall state the amount of such arrears together with the
added penalty thereon as herein provided. Each delinquent amount,
including penalty, shall thereupon become a lien upon the lot or parcel
of real estate to which the service was furnished and payment is delinquent.
The City Clerk-Treasurer shall insert the same as a tax against such
lot or parcel of real estate. All proceedings in relation to the collection
of general property taxes shall apply to said delinquent tax if the
same is not paid within the time required by law for payment of taxes
upon real estate.
F.
Charges for sewer usage shall begin on the date a residential, commercial,
industrial or institutional parcel or building is connected to the
sanitary sewer.
A.
Income and revenues derived by the Utility shall be accounted for
separately and distinctly from the City general fund.
B.
A replacement reserve fund shall be maintained with the purpose of
providing for the replacement of mechanical equipment in order to
maintain the capacity and performance for which the sewer system facilities
were designed. Other segregated funds (e.g., debt reserve, capital
improvement fund) may be established and maintained as necessary.

Director or designee, it appears probable that such wastes or wastewater:
(a)
Can deposit grease or oil in the collection system in such manner
to cause it to clog.
(b)
Is not amenable to bacterial action and will therefore pass
to the receiving waters without being affected by normal wastewater
treatment processes.
(c)
Can have deleterious effects on the wastewater treatment process
due to the excessive quantities.
(12)
Any cyanides or cyanogen compounds capable of liberating hydrocyanic
gas or acidification in excess of 0.5 mg/l by weight as cyanide in

harmful ingredients. All interceptors shall be constructed in accordance
with the Wisconsin Plumbing Code and shall be located as to be readily
and easily accessible for easy cleaning and inspection. All grease,
oil and sand interceptors shall be maintained by the owner, at its
expense, in continuous, efficient operation at all times.
A.
Wastewater flows shall be assigned in accordance with the methodology
set forth in the estimated volume of discharge section of the current
volume of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District Cost Recovery
and Procedures Manual as may be amended from time to time, unless
the City requires or the owner of any lot, parcel of land, building
or premises discharging domestic wastewater or industrial waste into
the sewerage system requests that the necessary metering equipment
be installed as approved by the Public Works and Development Director
or designee to measure the quantity of water pumped or discharged
to the sewerage system.
B.
Initial costs for metering equipment and installation shall be paid
by the user if the user is not on municipal water or if a deduct meter
is installed. Municipal Water Utility customers will utilize the reading
from the meter provided by the Water Utility. The user charge shall
be based on the quantity of water so measured. Whenever the person
fails to install such metering equipment, or where it is not practicable
to measure the water consumed on any premises by a meter or meters,
the Public Works and Development Director or designee shall determine
the estimated volume of water discharged into the sewerage system.
[Amended 8-22-2002 by Ord. No. 1113]
C.
The user shall be required to verify the accuracy of the water metering
equipment at the following minimum intervals: (Note: For those on

Editor's Note: Original § 21.19, State regulations,
which immediately followed this section, was repealed 6-26-2018 by
Ord. No. 1418.
[Amended 6-26-2018 by Ord. No. 1418]
The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewer District (MMSD) Rules and Regulations,
Chapter 17, promulgated by MMSD, as now in effect and as the same
may be amended from time to time hereafter, is hereby incorporated
by reference and shall be of full force and effect as though set forth
in its entirety herein.
A.
Intent. The City of Muskego has contracted with the Milwaukee Metropolitan
Sewerage District (MMSD) to provide sewer service within a certain
area of the City pursuant to the terms and conditions of said contract.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of said contract, there is a
limitation on the amount of base flow which the City may utilize and
certain procedures after which certain amounts of base flow will be
considered to have been utilized by the City and thereafter removed
from the amount of base flow which can be utilized in the future by
the City. In adopting this section, the City is attempting to prevent
the allocation of portions of the base flow to sewer extensions that
will not be constructed within a defined time period.
B.
Application for sewer extension permits. Any person who wishes to
obtain a sewer extension permit within the MMSD contract area of the
City must file with the City an application for a sewer extension
permit in a manner as designated by the City. Said application will
be considered by the Public Works and Safety Committee of the City
of Muskego and shall only be granted if the Committee determines that
the amount of capacity allocated by the granting of said permit will
not jeopardize the ability of the City to comply with the terms and
conditions of said MMSD contract and it is reasonably anticipated
that the extensions will be constructed and utilized within the time
period stated in this section.
C.
Termination of permit.
(1)
Except as provided herein, all sewer extension permits granted under
this section shall automatically terminate and the allocation of said
capacity shall cease to the extent that said sewer extension is not
certified, by a representative appointed by the City to make said
certification, to be completely constructed and approved within one
year of the granting of said permit.
(2)
Any sewer extension permits granted under this section may be extended beyond the one-year period specified in Subsection C(1) above if, prior to the end of said one-year period, the period is extended by a subdivider's/developer's agreement entered into between the holder of said permit and the City. Said extension shall only be granted if installation of the sewer extensions is secured by either a letter of credit or, when not prohibited by other ordinances or resolutions of the City, other security deemed appropriate by the City. Said letter of credit or security shall be sufficient to ensure the installation of the sewer extension under terms and conditions satisfactory to the City for that phase of the development covered by the subdivider's/developer's agreement.
(3)
Any subdivider's/developer's agreement entered into pursuant to Subsection C(2) above shall also contain a provision, satisfactory to the City, indicating that all other sewer extension permits granted under this section and not secured as required in Subsection C(2) above shall automatically terminate and the allocation of said capacity shall cease to the extent that said sewer extension is not certified, by a representative appointed by the City to make said certification, to be completely constructed and approved within four years of the execution of the subdivider's/developer's agreement.
(4)
If the development noted above is being developed in phases, then the developer may, within the four-year period referred to in Subsection C(3) above, request that the City enter into an additional subdivider's/developer's agreement for the next phase of said development. Any such developer's agreement shall contain provisions as required in Subsection C(2) above to secure and ensure installation of sewers for that phase and shall also contain a provision as provided in Subsection C(3) above for the remaining extension permits.
D.
Permission for use of sewer extensions previously granted.
(1)
As to all sewer extensions that would now be under this section but
were approved prior to the initial adoption of this section on July
3, 1991, all of the persons or entities granted such permission shall
be given notice of the passage of this section and shall be considered
to have been granted a sewer extension permit as of the date they
are mailed notice of the adoption of this section. No permit fee will
be required under this subsection. The sewer extension permit granted
under this subsection shall terminate and the allocation of said capacity
shall cease to the extent that said sewer extension is not certified,
by a representative appointed by the City to make certification, to
be completely constructed and approved within one year of the mailing
of the notice of the adoption of this section.
(2)
Any sewer extension permits granted under this section may be extended beyond the one-year period specified in Subsection D(1) above if, prior to the end of said one-year period, the period is extended by a subdivider's/developer's agreement entered into between the holder of said permit and the City. Said extension shall only be granted if installation of the sewer extensions is secured by either a letter of credit or, when not prohibited by other ordinances or resolutions of the City, other security deemed appropriate by the City. Said letter of credit or security shall be sufficient to ensure the installation of the sewer extension under terms and conditions satisfactory to the City for that phase of the development covered by the subdivider's/developer's agreement.
(3)
Any subdivider's/developer's agreement entered into pursuant to Subsection D(2) above shall also contain a provision, satisfactory to the City, indicating that all other sewer extension permits granted under this section and not secured as required in Subsection D(2) above shall automatically terminate and the allocation of said capacity shall cease to the extent that said sewer extension is not certified, by a representative appointed by the City to make said certification, to be completely constructed and approved within four years of the execution of the subdivider's/developer's agreement.
(4)
If the development noted above is being developed in phases, then the developer may, within the four-year period referred to in Subsection D(3) above, request that the City enter into an additional subdivider's/developer's agreement for the next phase of said development. Any such developer's agreement shall contain provisions as required in Subsection D(2) above to secure and ensure installation of sewers for that phase and shall also contain a provision as provided in Subsection D(3) above for the remaining extension permits.
E.
Permit fees. Upon filing of an application, the applicant shall pay
a permit fee as may be determined by resolution of the Common Council
from time to time per application per type of development (residential,
multifamily, commercial, or industrial).
F.
Permit not a guarantee. Any applicant who has obtained a sewer extension
permit pursuant to the provisions of this section shall also be subject
to applicable rules and regulations of the Milwaukee Metropolitan
Sewerage District as well as all applicable state and federal laws.
The issuance of a sewer extension permit under this section is not
a guarantee that an applicant will be allowed to connect to the sewerage
system.
