§ 51.44. INDIVIDUAL CONNECTION TO SEWERS.

(A) Where an individual connection is sought for developed areas already being served by an interceptor or trunk sewer and local sewers, a connection charge shall be paid to the city which shall be based upon the size of the water meter. Only one water meter, of adequate size to properly serve the facility, shall be permitted in a structure/building. The connection charges shall be as follows:

Water Meter Size (Inches)	10-01-2008	7-01-2009	1-01-2010
5/8 - 3/4	$1,000	$1,100	$1,200
1	$2,500	$2,750	$3,000
1 1/4	$4,000	$4,400	$4,800
1 1/2	$5,800	$6,380	$6,960
2	$10,000	$11,000	$12,000
3	$23,000	$25,300	$30,000
4	$40,000	$44,000	$48,000

The above schedule reflects the initial sewage connection fees. After the initial connection is made, if the service is ever up-graded from the initial service to a larger service, the property owner shall pay the difference between the connection fees for the larger service and the existing service that is effective at such time.

(B) Except for single-family residences where a user has consumed metered water for a continuous 12-month period beginning 6 months after time of connection, the city will review its unit cost set forth for the preceding 12-month metered period and will adjust the unit cost in accordance with actual usage, either upward or downward, as the metered usage reflects. This adjustment will determine the unit cost for the particular user and no further adjustment will thereafter be made. For the purpose of reviewing the unit cost, the usage of a single-family residence will be considered 6,000 gallons per month.
