(A) Wastewater charges will be established based on equivalent residential units (ERU). One ERU is defined as a unit of wastewater volume of 240 gallons per day with a theoretical waste strength of 300 mg/l of BOD, 200 mg/l of TSS and 50 mg/L O&G. The assignment of ERUs will be made by the city. Commercial properties will have multiple units as identified by the City Administrator or his or her agent.
(B) Users may appeal the number of ERUs assigned to a particular connection by installing and maintaining, at their own expense, water meters of a type approved by the city. The meters shall be equipped with remote registering recorders located at an accessible site on the owner’s property.
(C) (1) The city may, at its discretion require nonresidential users to install water meters for the purpose of determining wastewater volume. The city may require residential connections to install water or wastewater meters within the HVSTSA as part of a comprehensive program to install meters.
(2) When so required, the meters shall be of a type approved by the city and equipped with remote registering recorders, and located at an accessible site on the owner’s property.
