which utilize the Village sewer system as out-of-district users.
B.
For the purpose of operating and maintaining the sewage systems of

As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
The number of gallons of water billed to a property by the

will be used to compute the sewer rental fee for the next succeeding

June 1, 2011, the sewer rental fee will be based upon water consumption
for the period July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010.

pursuant to this article, and any and all amendments thereto, for
the use of the collection and conveyance system operated, owned or
maintained by the Village of Brockport, or any part or parts thereof.
A.
The sewer rental fee will be assessed on a monthly or quarterly basis
and computed solely based upon annual water consumption as herein
defined in this article.
B.
The sewer rental fee will be based upon the following formula:
|

of gallons of water consumed by system users = Sewer rental fee per
1,000 gallons.
|
C.
Sewer rental fees for system users shall appear on the regular water
bills issued by the Village, which are issued alternatively either
on a monthly or quarterly basis.
D.
Every year the Village Board shall review and may revise the sewer
rental fee rate as may be deemed necessary. System users shall be
notified of rate changes on an annual basis.
E.
All sewer rental fees are due and payable at the same time as the
regular water bill. In the event payment is not made by the date designated
for payment of the regular water bill, then a penalty of 10% shall
be added to the sewer rental fee.
F.
Sewer rental fees and any corresponding penalties which become due
and owing as provided in this article may be included as part of the
Village tax levy, accounted for and collected pursuant to Article
14 of the Village Law of the State of New York and/or may be collected
pursuant to the provisions of Article 14-F of the General Municipal
Law of the State of New York.
This article is effective immediately beginning with the fiscal
year which commences June 1, 2011, and will be included with the regular
