as appears to it:
(i) to be adequately served with existing on-site sewage disposal systems;
(ii) would not be adequately served by connection to the sewerage system.
5.
Any property lot that does not abut a public road where the existing sewer main passes,
or where the connection pipe would cross a third party property will only be considered if the
application indicates that a surveyed legal easement(s) for the sewer line shall be obtained prior
to the installation of said sewer line. And further, an approval for such a connection shall be
granted only when evidence satisfactory to the Engineer demonstrates that the surveyed legal
easement has been granted by the owner of the servient tenement.

assessment to him and the account payable.

of the Treasurer, be collectable at the same time, and by the same proceedings, as taxes, pursuant
to Section 81 of the Municipal Government Act.
12.
The Municipal Council may levy a capital charge to property owners when new
expansions are built to the West Pubnico Sewerage System. This capital charge shall be applied
to those residents in the expansion area in conformance with the By-law. The capital charge
shall be calculated by dividing the net capital cost by the total number of equivalent units in the
expansion area.
P a g e | 10-15 West Pubnico Sewer By-Law, No. 29
Municipality of the District of Argyle
The Municipal Council may levy a capital charge to property owners in the serviced area
resulting from repairs or improvements to the West Pubnico Sewerage System including the
Sewage Treatment Plant, which is part of the sewerage system. The capital charge shall be
calculated by dividing the net capital cost by the total number of equivalent units.

All costs associated with the installation, connection, maintenance or repair of a building
sewer connection to the municipal sewerage system, whether in a street, highway or easement,
including the costs of any necessary permits, are the sole responsibility of the owner. When any

connecting a building service connection with the municipal sewer shall pay a fee of $1,000.00
and shall accompany the application to connect.
2.
The construction and installation of any building service connection shall be conducted
subject to the inspection and review by the Engineer and the specifications for labour and
materials under which the municipal sewer was constructed are to be considered as part of the
specifications for any such building service connection, modified, however, so as to be
applicable to the building or buildings situate on the property to be served by such building
service connection. All individual connections shall be to the sewer main.

Whenever any building sewer connection is abandoned, the owner shall effectively block
up the connection at the property line so as to prevent sewage from backing up into the soil, or
dirt being washed into the sewer.
6.
Where the owner does not effectively block up the building sewer connection as required
under the provisions of Part 5, Section 6 herein within Thirty (30) days from receipt of a notice
from the Engineer, requiring him to do so, the Engineer may cause the same to be done and the
cost of such work may be recovered as a first lien in accordance with Section 507 of the

PART 6 - FINANCES
1.
The owner of any property, which is served by the West Pubnico Sewerage System, shall
pay an annual service charge. The basic annual service charge shall be calculated based on an
amount budgeted by Council to be the amount required to maintain and operate the system for
the year plus an amount to be set aside as a reserve for future capital expenditures and/or major
repairs to the system which will be determined and prescribed, by Council on an annual basis.
Once the budget has been determined, the charge per equivalent unit shall be determined by
dividing the estimated budget amount for maintenance and operation by the total number of
equivalent units serviced by the sewerage system. The annual service charge for each property
shall then be determined by multiplying the basic annual charge by the number of units for the
property.
2.
Vacant lots, which have previously been serviced, that are located in the service area will
be charged an annual rate of $20.00 dollars.
