6. a. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 1 of P.L.1976, c.125 (C.58:14-35) or any other provision of law, rule or regulation to the contrary, the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners shall establish within its leases, contracts, rates or schedules, as appropriate, a 50% reduction in the connection fee or tapping fee assessed for new connections to the sewerage system which are to be charged to public housing authorities and to non-profit organizations building affordable housing projects.
b. For units previously connected to the sewerage system that were demolished or refurbished to allow for new affordable housing units and for which a connection fee was previously paid, the commissioners shall establish within its leases, contracts, rates or schedules, as appropriate, a credit against the connection fee or tapping fee to be assessed for connection with the sewerage system to public housing authorities and non-profit organizations building affordable housing projects. The credit shall be the connection fee or tapping fee previously assessed and paid for connection with the sewerage system for units previously connected to the sewerage system.
c. The connection fee or tapping fee assessable against a public housing authority or non-profit organization, for units previously connected to the sewerage system that were demolished or refurbished to allow for new affordable housing units, shall be the lesser of the reduced rate provided for in subsection a. of this section, or the current non-reduced rate applicable to other types of housing developments minus the credit provided under subsection b. of this section for units for which a connection fee or tapping fee was previously paid, provided that said public housing authority or non-profit organization can establish that the connection fee or tapping fee was previously assessed and paid for connection with the system.
If the same cannot be established, the reduced rate provided for in subsection a. of this section shall be assessed.
