(A) The city establishes a sanitary sewer service charge system (SSCS) whereby all revenue collected from users of the wastewater treatment facilities will be used to affect all expenditures incurred for annual operation, maintenance, replacement, and debt service on capital expenditure incurred in constructing the wastewater treatment works.
(B) Sanitary sewer service rates and charges to users of the wastewater treatment facility shall be determined and fixed in a sanitary sewer service charge system developed according to the provisions of this subchapter. The sanitary sewer service charge system shall be adopted by ordinance upon enactment of this subchapter, shall be published in the local newspaper and shall be effective upon publication. Subsequent changes in sanitary sewer service rates and charges shall be adopted by Council resolution or ordinance and shall be published in the local newspaper.
(C) Revenues collected for sanitary sewer service shall be deposited in a separate fund known as "The Sanitary Sewer Fund." Income from revenues collected will be expended to offset the cost of operation, maintenance, and equipment replacement for the facility and to retire the debt for capital expenditure.
(D) Sanitary sewer service charges and the Sanitary Sewer Fund will be administrated in accordance with the provisions of § 52.128.
(E) Rates for significant industrial users (SIU) sanitary sewer services shall be calculated based upon their impact on the plant's capacity and treatment systems (TSS, BOD, phosphorous, ammonia, and the like) as outlined in their discharge permit.
