[Adopted 1-11-1996 by Ord. No. 901]
There will be a charge of $500 for a tapping fee whenever the
owner of any property connects such property with a sanitary sewer
system constructed or acquired by the Borough of Charleroi.
Said tapping fee shall be in addition to any charges assessed
and collected against such property in the construction or acquisition
of such sanitary sewer by the Borough of Charleroi.
Whenever a sanitary sewer system or any part or extension thereof, owned by the Borough of Charleroi, has been constructed by the Borough of Charleroi at the expense of a private person or corporation or has been constructed by a private person or corporation under the supervision of the Borough of Charleroi at the expense of the private person or corporation, the Borough of Charleroi shall charge a tapping fee as set forth in § 268-1 and refund said tapping fee or any part thereof to the person or corporation who has paid for the construction of said sanitary sewer system or any part or extension thereof. The total of said refunds shall never exceed the cost of said system or any part or extension thereof to the person or corporation paying for the construction thereof.
In any case where the property connected or to be connected
with the sanitary sewer system of Charleroi Borough is not equipped
with a water meter, the Borough of Charleroi may install such a meter
at its own cost and expense. If the property is supplied with water
from the facilities of a public water supply agency, the Borough of
Charleroi shall not install such meter without the consent and approval
of the public water supply agency.
