Pursuant to Article 14-F of the New York State General Municipal
Law (the "Sewer Rent Law"), and in order to defray the cost of maintaining
and improving the Village's sanitary sewer system, sewer rents are
hereby established. The revenue collected by these sewer rents shall
be used for the general operation, maintenance, repairs and improvements
of the municipality's sanitary sewer system in accordance with state
law.
All revenues generated from sanitary sewer rents, including
interests and penalties, shall be kept in a separate account to be
designated as the "sewer rent fund." All such funds, together with
the interest thereon, shall be used in accordance with General Municipal
Law § 453 and this article.
The sanitary sewer rent fee as provided in §
282-5 herein shall be effective for sewer use beginning with the May through July calendar quarter or month of May for those accounts billed monthly, and shall appear on the August water bill or in the case of accounts billed monthly the June water bill and the water bill for every quarter or month thereafter as applicable.
Each user which discharges any toxic pollutant which causes
an increase in the cost of managing the effluent or the sludge of
the wastewater treatment works shall pay for such increased costs.
