The sewer connection fees and surcharges shall be deposited
in a capital account that could be accessed by the sewer district
to repair, upgrade and/or expand the wastewater treatment plant and
the sewer collection system or for such other purposes allowed under
law. The dollar charge per EDU may be modified from time to time by
resolution of the Town Board as necessary to ensure adequate funding
is available for the long-term capital needs of the sewer district.
Sewer connection fee: Except as noted below, the sewer connection fee for a connection shall be payable at or prior to the issuance of any building permit for the structure to be serviced by the sewer system. An allocated GPD issued pursuant to §
61-78B above will, if the connection has not occurred, expire within 24 months from the date of issuance unless the sewer connection fee is paid prior to expiration of the initial twenty-four-month period.
The meaning of the terms used in this article shall be as set
forth below:
ALLOCATED GPD
The thirty-day average gallons per day assigned to that tax
parcel in accordance with Appendix C.
EDU
Water usage proportional to that equivalent sewage usage
for a typical single-family residence within the designated service
area. One EDU is 223 gallons of water use per day for a thirty-day
average.
GPD
The thirty-day average gallons per day discharged to the
sewer collection system.
For connections outside of the sewer district, an additional charge will be required to compensate the sewer district for its embedded costs. The additional charge will be determined by the Town Board at the time that a petition is submitted for the extension of the sewer district or to connect to the sewer collection system. The purpose of the additional surcharge is to compensate the sewer district for the value of its sewage treatment plant and collection system which will now be shared with properties outside the sewer district. Any sewer connection for a parcel outside the sewer district to which the Town Board allows to contribute flows is subject to the rules set forth in Article
XII, although all allocated GPD will be subject to the connection fee.
