CAPITAL COST CHARGE
5.1
A Capital Cost Charge is hereby imposed upon the owners of the Mansfield Water
Works Area.
5.2
The total of the Capital Cost Charge shall cover 100% of the Capital Cost of the
Mansfield Water Works, less the contribution by The Corporation of the Township
of Mulmur, estimated in the amount of $262,000.00 and $54,759 and less any other
grants provided by other levels of government.
5.3
The Capital Cost shall include:
5.3.1 The inputted cost on money supplied from the funds of the Township to
finance the owners' share of the cost of the Mansfield Water Works, and
5.3.2 The rate of interest to be applied shall be the rate as certified in writing by the
Treasurer of the Township that the Township would have expected to pay to
finance the owners' share of the cost of the Mansfield Water Works by
debentures issued on the day named in the certificate having a schedule of
maturity dates that would have coincided with the system of collecting the
Capital Cost Charges as established under this by-law, the day named in the
certificate being not earlier than sixty days prior to the first reading of this by-
law.
5.4
Debentures issued and other borrowings to finance the Mansfield Water Works
shall be authorized in a separate by-law, passed for that purpose. The debentures
issued under the authority of the separate by-law shall be the Debentures for the
purposes of this by-law.
5.5
The revenue derived in any year from a rate imposed under this by-law for the
Mansfield Water Works for the Capital Cost of the Mansfield Water Works shall be
applied and used towards payment of principal and interest due in that year upon
the Debentures other borrowed moneys, and Council shall reduce the amount of the

other borrowed moneys in any year upon the rateable property liable therefore by
the amount of revenue estimated to be derived in that year from the rate imposed
under this by-law.

and interest due as specified in the previous section, shall be credited by the
Township to its general revenues.
5.7
The Capital Cost Charge shall be as provided in Schedule "D". Council has
established the Capital Cost Charge by a combination of the following methods:

last returned assessed roll
5.7.2 The study carried out by Hemson Consulting Ltd., dated June, 2005, and
subsequently confirmed in 2009, entitled Mansfield Water System Analysis
and Recommendations, the methodology of which Council considers to be fair
5.8
The Capital Cost Charge structure also takes into account the differences in the
kinds of benefits accruing and other relevant matters to ensure that rates are
imposed on a fair basis.

5.9
Any person whose lands are liable to the Capital Cost Charge may commute such
rate for a payment in cash. The commutation rate shall be the balance of the unpaid
Capital Cost Charge on the lands at the Immediate Benefit rate until payment is
made in full, less the unearned interest component, as calculated by the Treasurer.
5.10 Where the Capital Cost Charge is imposed for a Deferred Benefit, it shall be
changed to a rate imposed for Immediate Benefit as soon as the Immediate Benefit
is derived or derivable.
5.11 The Capital Cost Charge imposed on any owner or occupant of land is a lien and
charge upon the land, and, if the rate or any part thereof remains unpaid after due
date, the amount unpaid may be collected by distress upon the goods and chattels of
such owner or occupants. Alternatively the Treasurer of the Township, upon notice
to the owner or occupant of the amount due, the person by whom it is due and the
land upon which a lien is claimed, shall enter the same upon the collector's roll,
and the collector shall proceed to collect it in the same way, as nearly as may be, as
municipal taxes are collectable.
5.12 Except as provided in the next section, no property is exempt from the Capital Cost
Charge by reason only that it is exempt from taxation under the Assessment Act.
5.13 Only the following properties and classes of properties shall be exempt from the
Capital Cost Charge, and they shall be exempt only to the extent provided: None
5.14 If a new part or parcel of land is created within an existing part or parcel of land in
respect of which the Capital Cost Charge is imposed, a new rate shall be applied to
the parts or parcels, based on Schedule "D" which need not be the same or equal to
the rate imposed on the previous part or parcel. The revenue from the Capital Cost
Charge imposed under this section, if not required for payment of any part of the
outstanding Capital Cost of the Mansfield Water Works, shall be used only for
future Capital Improvements of the Mansfield Water Works.
5.15 The Clerk of the Township shall give the owners of the parts into which the land is
divided at least fourteen days' notice by mail of the time and place Council will
determine the rates under the previous section.
5.16 Council in determining the rates shall have regard to the effect of the Mansfield
Water Works on each part into which the parcel of land is divided and such other
matters as it considers appropriate. The decision of Council with respect to the
imposition of rates under this section is final.
5.17 The order of Council imposing the rate shall be filed with the Clerk of the
Township and thereafter the rates shall be imposed and collected in accordance
with the order of Council.
