PSC 187.03 Application. This chapter applies to any person who connects a sewer main extension into a sewer main for which there has been a developer contribution, and whose property is outside of the subdivision of the developer who made the developer's contribution. A person making a sewer main extension from a previously installed sewer main extension for which a developer is paying or has paid shall pay to the developer a fee as defined under
s. PSC 187.05. This chapter does not apply to a combined water and sewer utility under s.
66.0819, Stats.
PSC 187.03 Note
Note: This chapter does not apply to limit any sewerage service charges or other means of collecting costs of providing wastewater treatment service as permitted under s.
66.0821, Stats., by municipalities owning wastewater facilities or portions thereof for which no developer contribution has been made.

PSC 187.04 Notice. The municipality in which a sewerage project is located for which a developer is paying or has paid shall inform a person who wishes to connect an extension into a sewer main in the sewerage project of the requirements of this chapter.

PSC 187.05(1)
(1) Where the cost of the sewer main extension is to be collected through special assessment by the municipality against the abutting property, the procedures set forth under ss.
66.0701 and
66.0703, Stats., shall apply, and no additional contribution for the cost of the sewer main extension will be required and no refund will be made to the developer.
PSC 187.05(2)
(2) When a new sewer main is extended from an existing sewer main, which was not financed by developer contributions, the new sewer main extension shall not be subject to this chapter.
PSC 187.05(3)
(3) Where the developer is paying, or has paid, all or part of the cost of a sewer main extension, part of the contribution may be refundable. If a person whose property is outside of the development connects a sewer main extension to a developer-financed sewer main within three years after the date of completion of the developer's sewer main installation, within 60 days of connection the person shall pay to the developer the following:
PSC 187.05(3)(a)
(a) Calculation of sewer main extension refund. The developer shall be refunded a percentage of the costs of the original sewerage project calculated using the Diameter Squared, Length of Sewer Main method, where
Refund ($) = C × P
C = the cost or portion of the cost of the original sewerage project paid or to be paid by the developer ($)
P = [L2 × (D2)
2 ] ÷ [L1 × (D1)2]; when P ≥ 0.50, set P = 0.50 (i.e. P may never be greater than 0.50 in calculating the refund)
L1 = Lineal feet of sewer main installed with the original sewerage project
D1 = Diameter in inches of sewer main L1
L2 = Lineal feet of sewer main installed with new sewer main extension
D2 = Diameter in inches of sewer main L2
PSC 187.05 Note
Note: Where multiple sewer main diameters are involved, calculating “P" requires summing the individual products of each length of sewer main multiplied by its respective diameter squared.
PSC 187.05(3)(b)
(b) Calculation of additional sewer main extensions. As additional sewer main extensions are made to the sewer main, paid or to be paid by the developer, the cost of the original sewerage project shall be redistributed on the basis of proportionality by expanding the Diameter Squared, Length of Sewer Main Method to include the additional extensions. Any calculations previously made under the formula shall be recalculated to adjust and determine new reimbursement payments to all parties. Reimbursement to the original developer shall never exceed 50% of the original sewerage project cost. No refunds will be made for sewer main extensions that do not directly connect to the sewer mains serving the original development.
