For the purpose of calculation of RS above, the highest value of B.O.D. 5 and SS and P found in any month will be used for the subsequent month(s). Bylaw No. 740, 2009 6 of 17 CONNECTION CHARGES - WATER AND SEWER: Where a water and/or sewer service connection has not been provided to a property or an upgrade in service is required and a service is requested to be provided by the District, connection charges shall be charged to the property owner at cost, plus a 10% administration fee. Included in the District's calculation of costs will be any necessary road crossing cuts, borings, patching and other road/sidewalk works deemed necessary to provide the service connection. External contractors may be hired by the District to complete aspects of connections. The District will request a deposit based on 125% of the estimated connection charges. The property owner shall pay to the District the total estimated charges for the work prior to the issuance of a Building Permit or commencement of the work, whichever is the earliest. A refund or invoice will be issued once all works are complete and all costs have been accounted for. Additional Provisions: 1. A penalty of ten percent (10%) will be imposed on all "flat rate" consumers, on any balance of water and sewer rates remaining unpaid after the first day of July of the current year. 2. A penalty of 1% per month shall be charged on all metered billings outstanding after thirty (30) days. 3. Water and sewer rates for the current year remaining unpaid after the thirty-first (31st) day of December of that year shall be deemed to be taxes in arrears and shall forthwith be entered on the real property tax roll by the collector as taxes in arrears against the property to which the rates apply. 4. The owner of a real property located on the East or West side of the Sicamous Narrows not connected to the sanitary sewer system by the connection deadline as specified within the District of Sicamous Sewer Rates and Regulation Bylaw No. 194, 1996 as amended from time to time will pay an annual non-compliant rate. 5. Upon installation and inspection of a meter, the flat rate charge will be credited for the remaining months of the year and the meter rate will be billed from that date forward. 6. Emergency call-out rates are a minimum of $200.00 per person, which covers two hours. Any additional time will be charged at $100.00 per hour per person. 7. Where a second water meter is added to a property to support a secondary dwelling unit, as defined under the Zoning Bylaw, and that unit is providing long-term housing, the fixed fee for both water and sewer will be discounted by 50% for the second meter. This discount is to support additional housing within the District. The property owner must make a declaration that the additional meter is for a long-term living arrangement, and not for short-term rental purposes. 8. Where any water meter is unable to be read or where any water meter fails to register or properly indicate the quantity of water consumed, consumption of water shall be estimated. When estimating, previous usage will be used with consideration of seasonal variations. A notice will be included on invoices with estimates, outlining the requirement for the property owner to have their meter fixed or replaced. If a meter cannot be read for two consecutive billing periods, charges will be based on flat metered rates until the District is advised by the property owner that the meter is again in service or replaced. If flat metered rates are not to the benefit of the District, estimates may continue to be used at staff's discretion. 9. Water and sewer consumption charges will not be adjusted for periods dating back more than 2 years or for charges paid by a previous owner. It is the responsibility of the property owner to review their utility invoices and fix plumbing issues in a timely manner.
