SECTION 201.05 EXCEPTIONS TO CONNECTIONS This article shall not be construed to require or entitle any person to cross the private property of another to make any such sewer or water connection. SECTION 201.06 CONNECTIONS MAY BE MADE BY COUNTY If any owner of any lot or parcel of land within the County shall fail and refuse to connect with and use the facilities of the water and sewer system of the County after notification by the Department, as provided herein, then the Department shall be authorized to make such connections, entering on or upon any such lot or parcel of land for the purpose of making such connections. The base facilities charge of the County shall apply beginning 20 days after notification by the Department to connect. The County shall thereupon be entitled to recover the cost of making such connection, together with accrued base facilities charges, impact fees, interest and attorney's fees, by suit in any court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, and as an alternative means of collecting such costs or making such connections, the County shall have a lien on such lot or parcel of land for such cost, which lien shall be of equal dignity with the lien of state and county and municipal taxes. Such lien may be foreclosed by the County in the same manner provided by the laws of Florida for the foreclosure of mortgages upon real estate. SECTION 201.07 EQUIVALENT RESIDENTIAL UNITS Each water and sewer customer's impact fees and base facility charge shall be established on the basis of the number of equivalent residential units (ERUs) of service required by each customer. The following chart shows the basis for calculating each customer's minimum number of ERUs. In cases where a customer's property use extends to more than one category listed below, the number of ERUs shall be calculated as the sum of the number of ERUs associated with each type of property use and its respective square footage or other dbt075/040.51 4
