§ 110-116. Agreements or contracts for service.

(a)

With water service application. Applications for sewage disposal service are automatic when sewage disposal service is available to the property.

(b)

New sanitary sewer service. Agreements or contracts for sewage disposal service are effective 30 days after the installation of a new sewer abutting the property within the county.

(c)

Bulk sewage disposal agreements. Sewage disposal service on a volume basis may be obtained by means of cost-sharing arrangements outlined in contractual agreements with the county. Such agreements apply only to other utilities. Other bulk sewer service users shall pay for services at the rates established from time to time by the county.

(d)

Developer agreements. Agreements for the provision of sewage disposal service for new properties requiring the construction of sewer facilities shall, upon request by a developer, be prepared by the county (see sections 110-118(b) and 110-119). Final zoning approval of a property must be obtained prior to the county's preparation of the agreement.

(e)

Limitation of use. No customer shall extend his plumbing across a street, alley, lane, court, avenue or other highway or property line without unity of title in order to furnish service for an adjacent property through one service lateral, even though such adjacent property is owned by him. If such unauthorized connection occurs, the customer's service shall be subject to discontinuance until such unauthorized connection has been discontinued and full payment has been made of all bills for service, calculated under proper classifications and rate schedules, and until reimbursement in full has been made to the county for all extra expenses incurred for clerical work, testing and inspections.
