Any person refusing to allow their property to be <br />inspected within (14) days of the date City employee(s) or their designated <br />representative(s) are denied admittance to the property, shall become subject <br />to the surcharge hereinafter provided for. Any owner of a property found to be <br />discharging storm water into the municipal sewer system, either directly or in- <br />directly shall make the necessary changes and furnish proof of the changes to <br />the City by November 1, 2004 to comply with the Ordinance. <br /> <br />Subd. 4 Future Inspections: At any future time, if the City has reason to suspect <br />that an illegal connection may exist in a premises, the owner, by written notice <br />shall comply with the provisions of Chapter 907.6, Subd. 3. <br /> <br />Subd. 5. Incentive: There are a number of methods to dispose of sump effluent. <br />These include pumping the water into a cistern or discharging it within the <br />property. Any property which has an existing illegal connection may apply for <br />City financial assistance by requesting a City inspector to verify the illegal <br />connection, have the repair completion verified and submit a receipt(s) for <br />labor and/or materials (self-help labor rate valued at $60.00 for the complete <br />job). Upon verification of the corrective action and costs, the City will remit to <br />the property owner one-half of the cost to correct the illegal connection to a <br />maximum of $300.00 per installation. The property owner may petition the City <br />to abate the illegal connection and assess the property owners the cost for the <br />corrective work over a 3-year period. This incentive program is in effect until <br />November 1, 2004. <br /> <br />Subd. 6 Surcharge: A surcharge of $75.00 per quarter shall be imposed and <br />added to every sewer billing mailed on and after January 1, 2005 to property <br />owners that are not in compliance with this ordinance.
