    • Municipal Code §198-10(E)(1)

    • Sewer connection charges for buildings not presently connected to the wastewater treatment works, or for buildings that have a change in use that requires a larger water meter, shall be based on equivalent residential meters based on the Sewer Connection Fee Schedule located in the City's annual fee schedule established by the Common Council. For buildings with a change in use the charge would be the difference between the amount for the existing meter size and the amount for the proposed meter size. Buildings connecting directly to the City's collection system will be charged both the conveyance and treatment connection charges. Buildings connecting to the wastewater treatment works via a collection system outside of the city will be charged the treatment connection charge only.
