18-310 : Charges and fees (user charge system).

  1. It is the purpose of this chapter to provide for the recovery of costs from user of the town's sewage system for the implementation of the program established herein. The applicable charges or fees shall be set forth in the town's water and sewer rate ordinance.
  2. Where there are residences within the town's corporate limits where a sewer line comes within one hundred feet (100') of the property line of the residence but the water supplied to the residence is from a well or another utility which cannot be supplied by the town due to federal regulations, the sewer usage fee shall be calculated as follows:

    1. The sewer usage fee of a residence is determined by a percentage of the metered water use at the residence.
    2. Where no metered water exists, the town shall use the most realistic statistic from which to determine normal water usage of a residence which is unknown to the town is the national average usage which is four thousand gallons per month, which the board of mayor and alderman feels is a fair and equitable amount to base the sewer usage for fee purposes. Where this pertains, the following formula will be used to determine the sewer fee of a residence where the sewer connection is the only service provided by the Dandridge Water Management Facility:
      1. Fees shall be based upon four thousand gallons of water usage at the rate set forth by the current sewer rate in force.
      2. In the event the owner or occupant desires to obtain the water service provided by the Dandridge Water Management Facility, the sewer rates will be determined by the current water and sewer rate in effect at the next billing date from the time of connection.
      3. The residence's owner or occupant shall be responsible for installing the line from the resident to the sewer line and current tap fees.
