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 single- family 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 single- family houses. 12-01-11
