(a) In addition to the tap-in charge required in accordance with the provisions of Section 911.09(b), the applicant shall deposit with the City seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) per dwelling unit or three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) per commercial structure for each tap-in permit for which the applicant has applied. This tap-in deposit shall cover the cost of any sewer user charges, as per Section 915.04, that are due the City after the installation of the sanitary sewer connection which were not billed by the Cleveland Water Department, hereinafter referred to as delinquent sewer user charges. (b) Delinquent sewer charges shall be calculated at the current rate per 1,000 cubic feet (1 MCF) in Section 915.04 times 2 MCF per dwelling unit, or for a multi-family dwelling or commercial structure 2 MCF per benefitted unit as listed in Section 911.09, per calendar month or fraction thereof that such charges are delinquent. Delinquency shall be measured from the date of installation of the sewer connection in the case of an existing structure, or from the date of the issuance of an occupancy permit for a new structure, to the date of initial sewer service as shown on the bill from the Cleveland Water Department. (c) The applicant must comply with the following requirements: 1. The applicant must call the North Olmsted Engineering Department for inspection if in the City of North Olmsted or verification if in Olmsted Township of the sewer tap- in and connection upon completion of the installation of the piping. 2. If a new dwelling or building in Olmsted Township, the applicant must provide the North Olmsted Engineering Department with a copy of the occupancy permit issued by Olmsted Township. 3. The applicant must furnish the North Olmsted Engineering Department with a copy of the first bill from the Cleveland Water Department showing the sewer user charge for the address for which the tap-in permit was issued. (d) Failure to comply with any of the above requirements shall result in forfeiture of the deposit. Upon compliance with all of the above requirements, the City shall refund to the applicant the deposit minus any applicable delinquent charges. The deposit shall apply to all tap-in permits that have been prepaid but for which the permit has not yet been issued. (e) For an existing dwelling unit proposed to be connected to the sanitary sewer system, an applicant may file a request with the Service Director for a hardship waiver of the $750.00 deposit required for a dwelling unit. If a waiver is granted, and the applicant subsequently is delinquent with respect to sewer charges, the waiver shall not prevent the City from using other available remedies for collecting delinquent charges." SECTION 2: That any Ordinance, or part of any Ordinance, which is inconsistent with or in conflict with this Ordinance, shall, to the extent of any such inconsistency or conflict, be, and hereby is, repealed. 2
