§ 86-237. Residential equivalency charge.

(a)

A residential equivalency charge is hereby imposed upon each lot, parcel of land, building or premises served by the wastewater works or otherwise discharging sewage, including nondomestic and industrial wastes, into the system. Such residential equivalency charge shall be payable as provided in this division and shall be on the basis of one unit for each residential equivalent unit.

(b)

On or before September 1 of every year the village clerk shall recompute the assignment of residential equivalent units to all users within the system. Such summation of residential equivalent units will then be divided into the yearly debt service to arrive at the charge per residential unit. The recalculation shall be based upon the average water used by each customer, other than single-family dwellings, for the quarters ending March, June and December compared to the average amount of water used by all single-family dwellings for the quarters ending March, June and December. The assignment method shall apply only to buildings that are attached to and are customers of the village water utility. Other users shall be assigned REC's in accordance with section 86-263. The residential equivalency charge chart is attached as Appendix A of this article.
