§ 52.093  SUMMER SEWER CREDIT.
   (A)   Summer sewer credit qualification. Residential users of the sewage works system may receive a reduction of their sewage bills for lawn sprinkling during summer months by qualifying a residence for the summer sewer credit in the manner described in this section. To qualify a residence for the summer sewer credit, a residential user must:
      (1)   Present conclusive evidence that the user is a residential user, that the user's residence is a single-family dwelling, that the residence was regularly used as such during the preceding winter, that the user does not have a separate irrigation account, and that no part of the residence is used for a commercial or industrial purpose;
      (2)   Request, in advance and on forms prescribed by the town, that the Town Clerk-Treasurer place the user's name on the summer sewer credit list; and
      (3)   Affirm, in advance and on forms prescribed by the town, or reaffirm at the request of the town during the year, to the Clerk-Treasurer that the user is sprinkling water on the user's residential property, and that the user will continue to do so throughout the summer months, as hereinafter defined.
   (B)   Summer sewer credit calculation. For each sewage bill during the months of June, July, and August of a residential user who is qualified under division (A), if the total amount of the bill would be higher than the average sewer bill amount paid by the user for the preceding December, January, and February, then such average amount shall be assessed instead.
   (C)   The town may, by motion, declare that the summer sewer credit for a given year shall be available during different, fewer, or additional months.
