Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the municipal water and sewer connection fees unlawfully failed to credit earlier connection rights for the demolished house.
Decisione estratta
The municipal rules allowing credit for earlier fees on replacement buildings were not unconstitutional; the challenged water and sewer fees were upheld.
Motivazione estratta
The fees were connection charges, not general betterment contributions. A new building creates a new charging event; allowing only limited credit for prior fees on replacement buildings is reasonable and not arbitrary. No violation of equality or property rights was shown.
