There is hereby established and imposed an annual sewer rent on all users, to be determined by multiplying the unit charge times the number of units assigned to each user based upon the schedule of units of use in § 137-3 of this Part 1. The unit charge shall be established annually by the Town Board at the time of the adoption of the Town budget.
All Town sewer rents shall become and be payable
at the same time and in the same manner as other Town charges. Sewer
rents shall constitute a lien upon the real property of the users
on the first day of January in each year. Penalties and interest for
sewer rents in arrears shall be imposed and collected in the same
amounts and in the same manner as they are imposed on other Town charges.
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding in
this Part 1, if a property owner in the district becomes a user, as
defined herein, between the first day of January and the 31st day
of October in any year, the sewer rent for such year shall be prorated
for the number of months commencing with the month in which such owner
becomes a user and ending with the last month of such year and shall
be paid at the time such owner becomes a user. In the event that such
sewer rent is not paid at such time, it shall be added to the annual
sewer rent due and payable during the following year and shall be
collected at the same time and in the same manner as the annual sewer
rent due in the following year. If a property owner in the district
becomes a user, as defined herein, between the first day of November
and the 31st day of December in any year, the sewer rent for such
year shall be prorated for the number of months commencing with the
month in which such owner becomes a user and ending with the last
month of such year. Such prorated sewer rent shall be added to the
annual sewer rent due and payable during the year following the next
succeeding year and shall be collected at the same time and in the
same manner as the annual sewer rent.
Revenue derived from sewer rents, including
penalties and interest, shall be credited to a special fund to be
known as the "Sewer Rent Fund," and moneys in such fund shall be used
as provided by law.
