§ 19-463. Priorities for new or increased capacity

The priorities for new or increased sewer capacity shall be in the following order:

(1) Public facilities found to be necessary for the public health, safety or welfare by a majority vote of both the town council and the commission. Such facilities need not be owned by the town, but in all cases shall not be conveyed for nonpublic use without a two-thirds vote of both the town council and the commission. Such facilities include, but are not limited to, marine pump-out stations, public schools, affordable housing, day care centers, houses of worship, and public safety facilities.

(2) All other uses.

(3) Where an application for a sewer allocation amounts to 25 percent of the total available allocation in a particular year or 20,000 gallons, whichever is less, the sewer commission may require special conditions or cost sharing and contributions in aid of construction from such applicant if it agrees to provide service. (See section 19-411.)
