(3) User Charges. There is hereby imposed a charge on each user in this municipality who discharges wastewater, directly or indirectly, into the wastewater system operated by the District. Such charge shall be in the amount specified below for the various classes of users.
A. Residential Users. The residential users charge shall be based on a uniform charge, as follows:
The uniform charge for each residential unit shall be calculated by dividing the wholesale residential user charge (i.e., the charge by the District to the municipality) by the number of residential units in the municipality. Individual residential user charges shall be calculated as the user’s number of residential units times this uniform charge.
B. Non-Certified Commercial Users. The retail non-certified commercial user charge shall be based on a volumetric charge, as follows:
The volumetric charge shall be calculated by dividing the wholesale non-certified commercial user charge (i.e., the charge by the Commission to the municipality), excluding connection charges, by the total volume of non-certified commercial water consumption. Individual non-certified commercial user charges shall be calculated by multiplying the user’s volume of water consumption times this volumetric charge plus the user’s number of service connections times the connection charge.
C. Discharge Certified Commercial Users. Each retail discharge certified commercial user charge shall be equal to each wholesale discharge certified commercial user charge submitted to the municipality pursuant to Chapter 17, MMSD Rules.
D. Wastestrength Certified Commercial Users. Each retail wastestrength certified commercial user charge shall be equal to each wholesale wastestrength certified commercial user charge submitted to the municipality pursuant to Chapter 17, MMSD Rules.
E. Non-Certified Industrial Users. Each retail non-certified industrial user charge shall be equal to each wholesale non-certified industrial user charge submitted to the municipality pursuant to Chapter 17, MMSD Rules.
F. Discharge Certified Industrial Users. Each retail discharge certified industrial user charge shall be equal to each wholesale discharge certified industrial user charge submitted to the municipality pursuant to Chapter 17, MMSD Rules.
G. Wastestrength Certified Industrial Users. Each retail wastestrength certified industrial user charge shall be equal to each wholesale wastestrength certified industrial user charge submitted to the municipality pursuant to Chapter 17, MMSD Rules.
(4) Local Capital Recovery Charges. There is hereby imposed a local capitol recovery (LCR) charge on each industrial user in this municipality whose function is described by the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Division D (“LCR user”). The LCR charge shall be in the amount specified below for the various classes of LCR users:
A. Non-Certified Industrial Users. Each retail non-certified industrial LCR charge shall be equal to each wholesale non-certified industrial LCR charge submitted to the municipality pursuant to Chapter 17, MMSD Rules.
B. Discharge Certified Industrial Users. Each retail discharge certified industrial LCR charge shall be equal to each wholesale discharge certified LCR charge submitted to the municipality pursuant to Chapter 17, MMSD Rules.
C. Wastestrength Certified Industrial Users. Each retail wastestrength certified industrial LCR charge shall be equal to each wholesale wastestrength certified industrial LCR charge submitted to the municipality pursuant to Chapter 17, MMSD Rules.
(5) Industrial Cost Recovery Charges. There is hereby imposed an industrial cost recovery (ICR) charge on each ICR user (as defined in District Rules and Regulations, Chapter 17 ) in this municipality. The ICR charge shall be in the amount specified below for the various classes of ICR users.
A. Non-Certified Industrial Users. Each retail non-certified industrial ICR charge shall be equal to each wholesale non-certified industrial ICR charge submitted to the municipality pursuant to Chapter 17, MMSD Rules.

The annual charge may be billed on the real estate tax bill for the property upon which the sanitary sewer user, LCR and ICR charge apply. In the event that such bill is not paid when due, a penalty of one percent (1%) per month shall be added thereto.
B. All bills shall be payable to the Village Treasurer at the Village Hall. (Rep. & Rec. Ord 516, 11/16/11)
(7) Local Sewerage Charges. In addition to the charges imposed pursuant to subsections (1) through (4) above with respect to the usage of the waterwaste system of the District, this municipality is also empowered pursuant to Section 66.076(4), Wis. Stats., to establish and impose sewer charges necessary to meet the capital and operating and maintenance expenses of its local sewerage system. Such charges are imposed and governed by Section 13.29 of the Village Code of Ordinances. The provisions of this ordinance repeal or replace said Section 13.29 or any other ordinance only to the extent of direct conflict herewith, i.e., only to the extent that any other such ordinance purports to establish rules applicable for the collection of User, ICR and LCR charges with respect to the wastewater system operated by the District, rather than the local system.
