§ 86-238. Sewer use charge.

(a)

A sewer use charge is hereby imposed upon all users of the wastewater works based upon the metered water used thereon or therein as calculated by the water utility. On or before September 1 of every year, the village clerk shall recompute the sewer use charge per 1,000 gallons of water used. This charge shall be computed by dividing the proposed net yearly operation and maintenance budget by the previous year's average water consumption. The residential water consumption for sprinkling during the quarter ending in September and any refrigeration, air conditioning system or industrial cooling water not entering the sewer system shall not be used in computing the sewer use charge.

(b)

For residential users during the quarter ending September 30, the charge shall be the same as that assessed for the last quarter previous, ending June 30, unless the water consumption for this quarter is less than that for the quarter ending June 30, in which case the charge shall be for the actual water used. For all other users, the charge shall be per 1,000 gallons based on the metered water used.
