Title
An Ordinance to Create Section 1.060 of the Revised Municipal Code Relating to User Fees for the Residential Private Property Sanitary Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Program.

Body
The Common Council of the City of West Allis do ordain as follows:

PART 1. Section 1.060 of the Revised Municipal Code is hereby created to read:

1.060 Residential Private Property Sanitary Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Program.

(1) Purpose. It is determined and declared to be necessary and conducive to the protection of the public health, safety, welfare and convenience of the City to collect charges from all residential users of the City's sanitary collection system. This fee is collected under police power by the City of West Allis to satisfy the current stipulation with the State of Wisconsin to reduce Inflow and Infiltration from private property sources. The proceeds of such charges will be used solely to fund the reduction of Inflow and Infiltration in the sanitary system from residential private property sources, to include repair and/or replacement of structurally failed residential sanitary laterals, the rehabilitation of residential sanitary laterals, either in areas targeted for sanitary flow reduction, or by request from the property owner, deemed by the City Engineer to be excessively leaking and/or failing.

The City has determined that private sanitary laterals are a significant source of infiltration and inflow and that these flows increase as the laterals deteriorate. Residential sanitary laterals are expected to last approximately one hundred years and all residential sanitary laterals will need to be replaced or rehabilitated over time. This program provides a means to repair, replace and/or rehabilitate the aging laterals and reduce flows to the City's sanitary sewers.

(2) Definitions. Unless the context specifically indicates otherwise, the meaning of terms used in this section shall be as follows:
