(b) If any facility whose
connection fee is based on a water meter size is not connected to a metered water system,
the county administrator may require the installation of a meter or may make a reasonable
estimate of the meter requirements for the facility for the purpose of establishing the
appropriate connection fee.
(c) The provisions of this section
shall not apply to premises which have paid the applicable connection fee or arranged to
pay the applicable connection fee through agreement with the county prior to the date of
adoption of this section.
(d) A credit of $500 shall be allowed against
the above fees when a grinder pump is installed to service an existing
premise as part of a County financed sewer extension project in accordance
with regulations adopted pursuant to Section 18.1-3.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of
paragraph (a) of this section, the connection fees established by the
governing body in 1998 with the adoption of chapter 18.1 shall apply to any
development or site plan having final approval from the county prior to
September 1, 2002. In addition to these developments, the connection fees
adopted in 1998 shall also apply for any project being financed by the
county for which the preliminary design has started by September 1, 2002.
For such projects, the regular connection fee shall be that fee which is in
effect at the time of connection.
(f) Property owners may prepay the initial
sanitary sewer connection fee for those properties that are included in a
service area defined in the Utilities Strategic Capital Plan. Upon payment
of the initial connection fee the provisions of Section 18.1-72 (a) will
