BE IT ENACTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WATERLOO, IOWA: SECTION 1. Building Sewer Connection Charges. The charge for making connection to an existing public sewer in the near vicinity of a property for which it is desired that service be provided shall be determined as follows: a. Where the property to be served has been specifically assessed for the sewer facilities prior to the time of the application for connection there shall be no additional connection charge, unless at the time of assessment a deficiency was allowed, then the sewer connection charge shall be equal to the deficiency previously allowed. b. Where the property to be served has not been assessed or is not subject to an assessment of a special tax for the construction of the sewer facilities to which connection is sought and said sewer was built through assessments the connection charge shall be equal to the average front footage charge assessed to all property on the sewer involved applied to the front footage of the property to be served. Where the property has frontage on two intersection streets the footage to which the charge shall be applied shall be the one considered the front in all usual proceedings for assessments. Where unusual parcel shape would make the charge inequitable to the owner or to the city, the frontage shall be taken as the lot width at the face of the building. c. Where the property to be served has not been subject to assessment for the cost of the public sewer and the cost thereof was paid by general taxation, the sewer connection charge shall be calculated on the basis of $5.50 per front foot of actual lot frontage as hereinbefore defined plus $50.00 hook on. SECTION 2. Cross and Lateral Sewer Connection Charges. Before a permit for a new cross or lateral sewer connection to a main sewer shall be granted, the applicant shall have complied with the terms and conditions for such connection established by the City Council as authorized by -2- Section 391.17 of the 1966 Code of Iowa. Such terms and conditions may include, but not be limited to, engineering design, construction standards, requirements for inspection of construction of the applicant's sewer, and the setting of equitable fees to be paid for the right to connect to the City's main sewer and all sewerage facilities to which the sewer will be contributory. SECTION 3. Use of Sewer Connection Charges. Such charges shall be due without regard to whether the sewer involved, trunk sewers, or sewage treatment plants have been paid for in full or whether prior assessments and other resources will cover all costs for such facilities. Connection charges shall be deemed a refund of amounts yet to be or previously paid by the City from its funds for the additional service made available to the applicant. Building sewer connection charges shall be deposited in a separate fund to be known as the "Sewer Connection Fund" and shall only be disbursed and used for the following purposes: a. To meet interest and principal payments on bonds legally authorized for the financing of sanitary utilities. b. To pay any costs of the construction, maintenance or repair of such sanitary facilities or utilities, including payments to be made under any contract between municipalities for the provision of sewer facilities or sewer services. Cross and lateral sewer connection charges shall be deposited in the sanitation fund. SECTION 4. Where Connections Permitted. No building sewer connection shall be made to a public sanitary sewer which is not in front of the property to be served unless the public sewer cannot feasibly be extended and the building sewer can be connected without creating difficulties for other utilities in the street or unless any such difficulties are offset by a definite public advantage in having the connection. No building sewer shall be connected directly into a manhole more than six inches above the flow line therein. Where a public sewer is extended by an applicant at his own expense it shall be constructed in accordance with the specifications of the City for public sewers, and connection charges may be reduced by the cost thereof, in whole or in part. -3- SECTION 5. Violations and Penalties. Any person, firm, or corporation which shall make a connection without paying connection charges due under this ordinance or in any manner violate the other terms of this ordinance shall be, upon conviction, deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to fine and imprisonment as provided by law. SECTION 6. Repealer. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance are hereby repealed. SECTION 7. Severability. Should any section, clause or provision of this ordinance be declared by the court to be invalid, the same shall not affect the validity of this ordinance as a whole or any part thereof, other than the part so declared to be invalid. SECTION 8. When Effective. This ordinance shall be effective August 1, 1970, and after due and legal publication thereof. Passed and adopted this 13th day of July ,1970.
