The Town Board may adopt a manual of service, tap-in and pretreatment
charges and fees from time to time by resolution. These charges and fees shall
be collected at the time of tap-in, or in accordance with a schedule determined
by the Town Engineer.
Annual charges for all sewer districts may be composed of a frontage
charge, an assessed valuation charge and an EDU charge. These charges, the
components of the charges, and the weightings assigned the respective variables,
may be varied and revised annually as part of the annual budget process. These
charges will be collected at the same time and in the same manner as general
Town taxes, as provided by law. The charges shall be for operations, maintenance,
treatment, debt service and any and all other costs of the district.

The Town may adopt charges and fees, which may include:
A.
Fees for reimbursement of costs for establishing, operating
and maintaining the Town's pretreatment program.
B.
Fees for monitoring, inspection and surveillance procedures.
C.
Fees for reviewing accidental discharge procedures and
construction.
D.
Fees for filing appeals.
E.
Fees for consistent removal (by the Town) of pollutants
otherwise subject to federal pretreatment standards.
F.
Fees for industrial wastewater discharge permits.
G.
Fees for the acceptance of trucked-in waste.
H.
Other fees as the Town may deem necessary to carry out
the requirements contained herein.
No statement contained in Part 1 of this chapter shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the Town and any industrial concern whereby abnormal industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the Town for treatment, subject to payment therefor by the industrial user. However, in no event will a waiver be granted which could result in a violation of any federal, general or categorical standard or prohibition.
If any water or wastes are discharged or proposed to be discharged to
the public sewers, which waters contain abnormal-strength sewage or which,
in the judgment of the Town Engineer, may have a deleterious effect upon the
wastewater facilities or receiving waters, or which may otherwise create a
hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Town Board may:
A.
Reject the wastes;
B.
Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for discharge
to the public sewers;
C.
Require control over the quantities and rates of discharge;
and/or
D.
Require payment to cover the added cost of handling and treating the wastes not covered by existing taxes or sewer charges. BOD, TKN, TSS and phosphorous may be considered as surchargeable parameters, if prior approval is given by the Town Engineer. When the Town Engineer determines the volume and character of such wastes to otherwise be in compliance with all pertinent federal, state and local regulations and all other provisions of Part 1 of this chapter, and not to cause overloading of the Town's facilities, then approval for such discharge may be granted subject to payment of a surcharge determined by the Town Engineer.
