A one-time annual pool credit will be credited to

using the number of gallons above the average consumption on the bill
reflecting the increased usage, not to exceed $35.
Bills for said sewer service shall be rendered
at the time, in the manner and in the form to be prescribed by the
Borough. All bills for sewer services shall be rendered to the owner
or tenant of the premises to which the sewer service is furnished.
If any tenant of premises fails to pay any such bill within 45 days
following its due date, the Borough shall give notice of such nonpayment
to the owner of said premises and such owner shall be liable for payment
of such bill.
The Borough Council shall have ultimate responsibility
for management of the sewer system and it shall issue such rules and
regulations governing the use, operation and maintenance of said sewer
system as from time to time shall be deemed necessary.
The Borough shall collect and receive all sewer
rates and charges prescribed by this article. All such moneys shall
be deposited to the credit of a special fund, to be designated the
"Kane Borough Sewer Revenue Fund," pursuant to the terms of the aforesaid
Agreement of Lease,[1] which shall be a separate and distinct fund of the Borough
of Kane.

Editor's Note: The Agreement of Lease is on

The sewer rates imposed by this article shall
become effective upon substantial completion of the construction of
and initial operation of the sewage treatment plants, but in no event
later than for all of the calendar quarter of the year beginning on
