the meanings indicated:

by the Town of Webster Assessor, other than classification codes 210
and 220, including, but not limited to; churches, motels, hotels,
apartments, institutions, stores, and commercial, industrial and other
residential and nonresidential establishments. The number of applicable
sewer units shall be determined by dividing the annual water consumption
on said premises by 60,000 gallons. Each of said premises, however,
shall constitute a minimum of one rental unit.
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES
All one- and two-family dwellings with Assessor's real
property classification codes of 210 and 220.
SANITARY SEWER
A sewer intended to carry only sanitary or sanitary and industrial
wastewaters from residences, commercial buildings, and institutions
to which stormwaters, surface waters and groundwaters are not intentionally
admitted through either direct or indirect connection or lack of maintenance
or neglect.
SEWAGE
A combination of the water-carried wastes from residences,
business buildings, institutions and commercial establishments, together
with such groundwater, surface water and stormwater as may be inadvertently
present.
SEWAGE SYSTEM
All facilities for collecting, regulating, pumping, transporting
and treatment of sewage, including, but not limited to, pipes, mains,
pumps, equipment, facilities, and treatment plants.
SEWER RENT UNIT
A sewer rent unit is equal to 60,000 gallons of use as measured
by a water supply meter or calibrated sewer flow meter. All single-family
homes shall be considered one sewer rent unit regardless of actual
water use. All two-family homes shall be considered two units regardless
of actual water use. All other properties shall have the sewer rent
units calculated by dividing the use by 60,000. One unit shall be
the minimum number of units used to calculate the sewer rent for any
property. Any sewer user whose sewer rent is based on annual water
consumption may elect to measure the actual amount of its sewage discharge
into the sewer system. All measuring devices, equipment, sub-meters,
and installations shall be installed at the sewer user's expense
in accordance with the Village of Webster Sewer Department's
specifications, inspection and approval. All flow measuring devices,
if used, shall be calibrated annually at the owner's expense.
All expenses incurred by the Village at any time in connection with
its inspection and approval of such installations which relate to
measurement of sewage discharge into the sanitary sewer system shall
be reimbursed to the Village by the sewer user upon notice thereof.
