SEWER AVAILABILITY CHARGE TO PAY RESERVE CAPACITY COSTS OF THE METROPOLITAN SEWER BOARD. 1. Recitals. As the Metropolitan Sewer Board has determined to reserve unused capacity in the metropolitan disposal system each year commencing in 1973 for local government units in which new buildings to be connected to the system and new connections to the system are commenced during such year; and to allocate the debt service costs of such unused capacity for the year among such local government units as affected, and as the Village of Lino Lakes is affected beginning on March 1, 1973; and in order for the Village of Lino Lakes to pay such costs allocated to it each year, it will be necessary to establish sewer service availability and connection charges for all buildings to be constructed or connected to the metropolitan disposal system on or after March 1, 1973. 2. Establishment of Charges. For the purpose of paying costs of reserve capacity so allocated to the Village of Lino Lakes each year by the Metropolitan Sewer Board, there is hereby established a charge for: (a) the availability of treatment works and interceptors comprising the metropolitan disposal system; and (b) connections, direct and indirect, to the metropolitan disposal system. The charge is imposed on each building or structure in the Village of Lino Lakes, and each connection to the metropolitan disposal system directly or through the Village's system, inside any Sewer Service Area established by the Metropolitan Sewer Board, con- struction of which is commenced on or after March 1, 1973. The charge shall be payable upon the issuance of a building permit or a connection permit, as the case may be, but no charge shall be due upon the issuance of a connection permit if a charge was paid upon issuance of a building permit. The charge for each building or structure shall be equal to the number of units of sewage volume which it will discharge, multiplied by $275 for 1973, $300 for 1974, $325 for 1975, $350 for 1976 and $375 for 1977. A unit of sewage volume shall be 100,000 gallons per year and shall be assigned as follows: (a) Single family houses, townhouses and duplex units shall each comprise one unit; (b) Condominiums and apartments shall each comprise 80% of a unit; (c) Mobile homes shall each comprise 80% of a unit; (d) Other buildings and structures shall be assigned one unit for each 100,000 gallons of flow or part thereof which it is estimated they will discharge; (e) Public housing units and housing units subsidized under any federal program for low and moderate income housing shall be counted as 75% of the unit equivalent for that type of housing; (f) Units existing or for which building permits were issued prior to March 1, 1973, shall be counted as one-half the unit equivalent for that type of housing, if connected to the Metropolitan Disposal System prior to January 1, 1974, and shall be counted at the full rate thereafter. 3. The Administration. The Village Clerk -Treasurer shall prepare or revise building permit or sewage connection permit application forms to provide information necessary for the com- putation of the number of units assignable to the building or structure in question, and shall collect the applicable charge before issuance of a permit. The Clerk -Treasurer shall make such information available to the Sewer Board upon request. If upon filing a report covering such permit with the Metropolitan Sewer Board, the Board determines that a greater number of units is assignable to the building or structure in question, any additional amount of cost allocated to the Village of Lino Lakes as a result shall be paid by the person or company to whom the permit was granted. 4. Credit Toward Payment under Section 14-1 of this Ordinance. Any monies paid pursuant to this section shall be deducted from and credited toward the Sewer Availability Charge required in Section 14-1 of this Ordinance when the charge required to be later paid thereunder falls due upon actual connection to the Municipal Sanitary Sewer System within the Village of Lino Lakes.
