Annexed areas to pay connection fee. If land to be benefited by a
connection to the Village water or sewer system has not been specifically
assessed for water or sewer main extension in the street abutting
such property, for the reason that the property to be so benefited
was not within the corporate limits of the Village at the time the
assessment was levied for such water or sewer main extension, the
owner thereof shall, prior to annexation, pay a connection fee to
the Village in an amount equal to the amount which the property would
have been assessed for such service had the connection been made to
the Village water or sewer system when the mains were laid, together
with interest thereon at a rate not to exceed 8% per annum from such
date to the date of payment. The estimate of the Village Public Works
Director as to the cost of such sewer and water service shall be binding
on all parties.
This article shall apply to all land presently located within the
corporate limits of the Village. In the event the Village elects at
any time to extend service to any area outside of the corporate limits
of the Village, the owners of such land are also subject to the connection
fees set forth in this article in addition to the excess fee prescribed
in the schedule of sewer service charges.[1]
Penalty for violation. Any person who violates any provision of this
article or any order, rule or regulation made hereunder shall be subject
to a penalty as determined by Village Board.
The owner of any property upon which it is necessary for the activation
of any existing lateral that is currently sold or upon which a lateral

in the schedule of fees.
The owner shall pay all excavation costs incurred. The inspection
of such construction shall be directed to the Public Works Department.
All fees shall be paid along with other building permit fees. Payment
