§ 15.34.030. Fees and charges.

A.

Sewer Service Charge. Properties having direct access to either a gravity sewer line or to a collector force main will be billed for sewerage service, in accordance with the Metropolitan Code of Laws Section 15.40.060, whether or not a connection is made. Therefore, properties having previously been granted an exemption from this charge solely on the basis of not having gravity access will become subject to the charge once access is provided. Exemptions from sewer service charges previously granted for any other reason will not be affected by this provision.

B.

Connection Fee (Tap Fee). All connections of a RSSP to the public sewer system will require the payment of the department's standard residential connection fee (tap fee) before service will be provided, unless an agreement entered into between the department and the developer/homeowner expressly exempts the payment of such a fee.

C.

Maintenance Fee. Developer installation of a RSSP will require the payment of a one-time nonrefundable maintenance fee per residential connection as set by the wastewater hearing authority. The initial fee will remain two thousand five hundred dollars until revised by the wastewater hearing authority. This fee will not be required for department installations nor for homeowner installations, except as provided in Section 15.34.050C.
