Upon acceptance of the annual budget, the Authority will establish a schedule of entrance and user fees for the ensuing fiscal year. User fees shall be assessed on four classes of users: residential, commercial, public and industrial as defined in Article I of this chapter. Sewer user charges shall be payable in two installments on July 1 and January 1 of each and every year, and shall be due and payable within 30 days, except for bills of $100 or less, which shall be paid in a single installment on July 1. In case of a property which was not connected during the entire period, the user charge shall be prorated on a monthly basis for the actual number of months within the stated period that the property was connected. A period of less than 15 days shall be disregarded and a period in excess of 15 days shall be deemed a full month. Minimum charges as previously stated shall prevail. The schedule of fees shall be effective after publication of a legal notice in a newspaper having a general circulation in the Town and filing with the Town Clerk's office.
During the thirty-day period following the due date, sewer users may appeal their user fee assessment. The appeal shall be made on a form provided by the Authority and shall include the account number, name and address of the account holder. The appeal shall also include the service address of the account, if different from the address of the account holder. The appeal shall state the specific reason(s) for the appeal, including any documentation requested by the Superintendent. Finally, the appeal shall be signed and dated by at least one of the account holders and shall be receipted with the date and initials of the Superintendent or his designee.
The owner of record as of January 1 and July 1 of each year of the property on which a building is located shall be liable for the payment of sewer user charges.
A. 
All overdue sewer user charges shall be administered in accordance with Section 7-258 of the General Statutes, as amended.
B. 
In general, any charge for the use of the sewer system not paid within 30 days of the due date shall thereupon be delinquent and shall bear interest from the due date at the rate and in the manner provided by said statutes for delinquent property taxes. Each addition of interest shall be collectible as part of such user charge. Any such unpaid connection or user charge shall constitute a lien upon the real estate against which such charge was levied from the date it became delinquent. Each such lien may be continued, recorded and released in the manner provided by said statutes for continuing, recording and releasing property tax liens.
Sewer user charges collected for the purpose of operating and maintaining the treatment works (including treatment costs, replacement costs, salaries, utility costs, administration costs and other associated costs) shall be deposited in a separate account for such purposes. All obligations shall be drawn from this account as authorized by the Authority.
