Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).
The property owner shall maintain sewer service from the street main to the house, including all controls between the same, without expense to the City, except when they are damaged as a result of negligence or carelessness on the part of the City. All sewer services must be maintained free of defective conditions by and at the expense of the owner or occupant of the property. When any sewer service is to be relaid and there are two or more buildings on such service, each building shall be disconnected from such service, and a new sewer service shall be installed for each building. If maintenance activities require that driveways, landscaping, etc., be disturbed or removed, the property owner shall be responsible for such costs.
A. 
General. The rules, regulations and sewer rates of the City of Monona hereinafter set forth shall be considered a part of the contract with every person, company or corporation who is connected to or uses a City sewer system, and every such person, company or corporation by connecting with the sewer system shall be considered as expressing its assent to be bound thereby. Whenever any of said rules and regulations, or such others as the City may hereafter adopt, are violated, the use or service shall be shut off from the building or place of such violation (even though two or more parties are receiving service through the same connection) and shall not be reestablished except by order of the Public Works Committee and on payment of all arrears, the expenses and established charges of shutting off and putting on, and such other terms as the Common Council may determine, and a satisfactory understanding with the party that no further cause for complaint shall arise. In case of such violation, the Public Works Committee, furthermore, may declare any payment made for the service by the party or parties committing such violation to be forfeited, and the same shall thereupon be forfeited. The right is reserved to the Public Works Committee to change these said rules, regulations and sewer rates from time to time as it may deem advisable and make special rates and contracts in all proper cases.
B. 
Adoption of rules. The following rules and regulations in this section for the government of licensed plumbers, sewer users and others, are hereby adopted and established.
C. 
Plumbers. No plumber, pipe fitter or other person will be permitted to do any plumbing or pipe fitting work in connection with the sewer system without first receiving a license from the State of Wisconsin and obtaining permission from the sanitary district in which the work is to be performed. All service connections to the sewer main shall comply with the State Plumbing Code.
D. 
Mandatory connection.
(1) 
Within the City of Monona, the owner of each parcel of land adjacent to a sewer main on which there exists a building usable for human habitation or in a block through which such system is extended shall connect to such system within 365 days of notice in writing from the City. Upon failure to do so, the Public Works Committee may 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. However, the owner may, within 30 days after the completion of the work, file a written request with the Public Works Committee stating that he or she cannot pay such amount in one sum and ask that the sum be levied in eight or less equal installments. The amount shall be so collected with interest at the rate of 1% above the City's current borrowing rate per annum from the completion of the work, the unpaid balance being a special tax lien, all pursuant to § 281.45, Wis. Stats.
(2) 
In lieu of the above, the Public Works Committee, at its option, may impose a penalty for the period that the violation continues after 10 days' written notice to any owner failing to make a connection to the sewer system as set forth in § 1-4 of the Code. Upon failure to make such payment, said charge shall be assessed as a special tax lien against the property, all pursuant to § 281.45, Wis. Stats.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).
(3) 
This section ordains that the failure to connect to the sewer system is contrary to the minimum health standards of the City of Monona and fails to assure preservation of public health, comfort and safety.
E. 
Application for sewer service.
(1) 
Every person desiring to connect property to the sewer system shall file an application in writing to the City on such forms as are prescribed for that purpose. Blanks for such applications will be furnished at the Monona City Hall. The application must state fully and truthfully all the wastes which will be discharged. If the applicant is not the owner of the premises, the written consent of the owner must accompany the application. Persons connected to the sewer system of the City of Monona are referred to herein as "users."
(2) 
If it appears that the service applied for will not provide adequate service for the contemplated use, the Public Works Committee may reject the application. If the Public Works Committee approves the application, it shall issue a permit for services as shown on the application.
A. 
Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings under this section:
DEBT SERVICE CHARGES
All costs associated with repayment of debts incurred for the construction and/or rehabilitation of wastewater collection system and treatment facility.
NORMAL DOMESTIC STRENGTH WASTEWATER
Wastewater with concentrations of CBOD, suspended solids, total kjeldahl nitrogen, and total phosphorus no greater than 200, 250 and 40, and 10 milligrams per liter (mg/l), respectively.
NORMAL USER
A user whose contributions to the sewerage system consist only of normal domestic strength wastewater originating from a house, apartment, flat or other living quarters occupied by a person or persons constituting a district household, business or commercial enterprise.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS
All costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the sewerage system.
REPLACEMENT COSTS
All costs necessary to replace equipment as required to maintain capacity and performance during the design life of the facility. A separate, segregated, distinct replacement fund shall be established and used only for replacement of equipment.
B. 
Policy. It shall be the policy of the City of Monona to obtain sufficient revenues to pay the costs of the operation and maintenance of the sewerage system, including a replacement fund (i.e., a cash account to be used for future expenditures for obtaining or installing equipment, accessories or appurtenances which are necessary to maintain the capacity and performance of the sewage system during the service life for which such facilities were designed and constructed), through a system of sewer service charges as defined in this section. The system shall assure that each user of the sewerage system pays his or her proportionate share of the cost of such facilities.
C. 
Basis for service charge.
(1) 
The annual service charge shall be sufficient to pay the billing and customer-related administration expenses and the operation and maintenance expenses, including any replacement costs, of the sewerage system.
(2) 
The rates in this chapter shall be reviewed not less than biennially. Rates shall be adjusted, as required, to reflect actual number and size of users and actual costs. Users will be notified annually of the portion of service charges attributable to operation and maintenance.
D. 
Sewer service charges. The sewer service charge is hereby imposed upon each lot, parcel of land, building or premise served by the public sewer and wastewater facilities or otherwise discharging sewage, including industrial wastes, into the public sewerage system. Such sewer service charge shall be payable as hereinafter provided and in amount determinable as follows:
E. 
Category.
(1) 
Category A service charges shall be imposed on users whose water use is metered and whose sewer discharges are normal domestic strength wastewater. A Category A sewer service charge is of the following form:
Service Charge = Customer Charge + Volume Charge
Customer Charge = A flat rate based on the size of the water meter.
Volume Charge = The volume of metered water in thousands of gallons multiplied by the volume rate.
Volume Rate = The volume unit price expressed in dollars per 1,000 gallons.
(2) 
Category B service charges shall be imposed on users whose water use is not metered and whose sewage discharges are normal domestic strength wastewater. The Category B sewer service charge shall be of the form as follows:
Service Charge = Equivalent Residential Units multiplied by the Equivalent Residential Units Rate.
No user shall be assigned less than one equivalent residential unit. The number of residential unit equivalents for nonresidential users shall be as determined by the approval authority.
(3) 
Category C service charges shall be imposed on users whose sewage discharges are high-strength wastewater having organic concentrations of carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD) greater than 200 milligrams per liter (mg/l) and/or suspended solids greater than 250 milligrams per liter (mg/l) and/or total kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) greater than 40 milligrams per liter (mg/l), and/or total phosphorus (TP) greater than 10 milligrams per liter (mg/l). The minimum Category C service charge shall be based on a concentration of 200 mg/l CBOD, 250 mg/l suspended solids, and 40 mg/l TKN, and 10 mg/l total phosphorus. The form of the Category C service charge is as follows:
Service Charge = Customer Charge + Volume Charge + High Strength Surcharge.
The customer charge and the volume charge are similar to those components of the Category A service charge.
High Strength Surcharge = The excessive CBOD, suspended solids, TKN, and total phosphorus multiplied by the respective CBOD, suspended solids, TKN, and total phosphorus rates. The excessive CBOD, suspended solids, TKN, and total phosphorus are the portions of each of these constituents that are in excess of normal domestic strength wastewater. The excessive amounts of CBOD, suspended solids, TKN, and total phosphorus are expressed in pounds, and their respective rates are expressed in dollars per pound.
F. 
Reassignment of sewer users. The sanitary district will reassign sewer users into appropriate sewer service charge categories if wastewater sampling programs and other related information indicate a change of categories is necessary.
Use of the public sewers shall be in accordance with Chapter V of the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District Sewer Use Ordinance.
