To protect the health, safety and general welfare of the public and to comply with the city's obligations under law to provide an equitable system of rates and fees with the view toward attempting to make the city's utility systems self-supporting, there is established a system of periodic rates and fees for the purpose of equitably imposing upon all users the costs and expenses of operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the municipal water, wastewater and electrical systems.
