Campgrounds; rates for sewage service
Status: in_force

Sec. 21.1. (a) This section applies to a campground that:

(1) is connected with the sewage works of a district established for the purpose described in IC 14-33-1-1(a)(5); or

(2) uses or is served by the sewage works of a district established for the purpose described in IC 14-33-1-1(a)(5).

(b) Beginning September 1, 2009, if a campground is billed for sewage service at a flat rate under section 21(a)(1) of this chapter, the campground may instead elect to be billed for the sewage service under this subsection by installing, at the campground's expense, a meter to measure the actual amount of sewage discharged by the campground into the district's sewers. If a campground elects to be billed by use of a meter:

(1) the rate charged by the district's board for the metered sewage service may not exceed the rate charged to residential customers for equivalent usage; and

(2) the amount charged by the board for the campground's monthly sewage service for the period beginning September 1 and ending May 31 must be equal to the greater of:

(A) the actual amount that would be charged for the sewage discharged during the month by the campground as measured by the meter; or

(B) the lowest monthly charge paid by the campground for sewage service during the previous period beginning June 1 and ending August 31.

(c) If a campground does not install a meter under subsection (b) and is billed for sewage service at a flat rate under section 21(a)(1) of this chapter, for a calendar year beginning after December 31, 2009, each campsite at the campground may not equal more than one-third (1/3) of one (1) resident equivalent unit. The basic monthly charge for the campground's sewage service must be equal to the number of the campground's resident equivalent units multiplied by the rate charged by the board for a resident unit.

(d) The board may impose additional charges on a campground under subsections (b) and (c) if the board incurs additional costs that are caused by any unique factors that apply to providing sewage service for the campground, including, but not limited to:

(1) the installation of:

(A) oversized pipe; or
