[Adopted 4-29-1980]
There is hereby levied and assessed upon each lot or parcel of land currently within the Village adjacent to the original sewer construction, a contribution in aid of construction charge (CAC). Such CAC charge shall be payable as herein provided and shall be on the basis of one CAC charge for each building connected to the public sewer. Said CAC charges shall be assessed and collected as determined by the Village Board.
For the purposes of this article, buildings in the Village shall be classified as existing buildings or future buildings. Existing buildings shall be those in existence and buildings for which a building permit has been issued and construction started as of Midnight, April 1, 1980. Future buildings shall be those not in existence as of Midnight, April 1, 1980.
A. 
All buildings in the Village shall be further classified as single-family residential or commercial. Single-family residential shall include only those buildings intended for habitation by a single family unit. Commercial buildings shall include all buildings in the Village other than single-family residential, including multiple-use buildings. The school shall be considered separately.
B. 
For purposes of this article, multifamily buildings shall be classified as commercial.
C. 
The Village upon application for a connection permit shall, in consultation with the Village's Engineer, determine the building use and classification and shall set a CAC charge in accordance with that use and the schedule of charges in effect at the time.
A. 
Payment of the CAC charge for all existing buildings is due upon issuance of a connection permit but not later than August 1, 1981. An installment payment plan may be used if requested with payment over a three-year period at an annual interest rate of 12% on the unpaid balance. Each annual installment, together with interest due through December 31, shall be due and payable together with interest on the same day as the first installment of real estate taxes assessed against the property for the preceding year. Any amount not paid when due shall bear interest at 12% per annum from January 1 of the year due until paid. The entire unpaid principal balance may be paid by any time, together with interest to date of payment.
B. 
Payment of the CAC charge for future buildings on lots which had a sewer lateral installed during the original construction may be paid in full at the time of application for a lateral installation, may be paid on the installment plan over a three-year period at an annual interest rate of 12% on the unpaid balance as described above for existing buildings, or shall be paid in full when a connection permit is issued at the CAC charge in effect at that time.
C. 
Payment of the CAC charge for future buildings on lots adjacent to the public sewer but which did not have a sewer lateral installed during the original construction shall be paid in full upon issuance of a connection permit.

B. 
Any category of building not listed above shall be assigned a CAC charge by the Village upon application and after recommendation by the Village's Engineer. The Village may, at any time hereafter, review and consider the charges and, in unusual circumstances or upon proper evidence, make justifiable changes. The Village shall set special charges for large commercial service or industrial users not defined above.
C. 
With regard to existing buildings, included in the CAC charge is the cost of the lateral to be installed by the Village (Village lateral) which will extend from the sewer main to the easement line or property line. Any required lateral from that point to the building will be the responsibility of the property owner.
A. 
Any property owner desiring a wye only, or a lateral to a vacant lot, or an extra wye or lateral may request it prior to the time that construction crews reach his property. The charges for such wye or lateral shall be as follows:
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
(1) 
Wye only: $100.
(2) 
Village lateral: $500.
B. 
In addition to said wye or lateral charge, the appropriate CAC charge for future buildings having a Village lateral installed during the original construction shall also become due and payable as described herein. In the alternative, said charge may be paid in full at the time the lateral is utilized in the amount then prevailing for said CAC charge.
C. 
When laterals are requested after sewer construction has passed the point of the requested lateral, the cost of such lateral shall, in its entirety, be the responsibility of the property owner and the appropriate CAC charge for future buildings not having a lateral installed during the original construction shall be due and payable at the time of such application.
Each CAC charge is hereby made a lien upon the corresponding lot, land or premises served by the connection to the public sewer and if not paid said charge shall constitute a lien on the property served and be inserted in the tax roll.
