NEW PROVIDENCE APARTMENTS CO., L.L.C. VS. MAYOR AND
COUNCIL OF BOROUGH OF NEW PROVIDENCE, ET AL.
A-2924-10T4
A municipal ordinance that imposes a $100 annual fee per
apartment unit for sewer service upon owners of apartment
houses, but does not impose this fee upon owners of singlefamily
houses, complies with the statutory mandate that sewer
fees shall be "uniform and equitable for the same types and
classes of use and service" and the equal protection guarantees
of the United States and New Jersey Constitutions, because the
fee is reasonable designed to reduce the gross disparity in the
contributions to the costs of sewer service derived from real
estate taxes paid by apartment owners and owners of singlefamily
houses. 12-01-11
