1.

Lateral Extension. The Owner of a house, building or property within the City limits who is directed or required to connect to the public sewer system under the conditions set forth in Section 30.02(2)(f) or elects to abandon a septic system serving their property shall be eligible for a septic tank credit. The amount of the credit shall be based on the proximity of the property in question to the closest available public sewer. For property that is less than 100 feet from the sewer, the credit shall be $1,746 per property. If the owner or tenant in the case of rental property has been paying the capacity charge component of the monthly wastewater user fee, an additional credit equal to the capital portion of the capacity charge shall be granted.
