   There is hereby imposed upon each customer served by the sewer system a monthly user charge for the use thereof as follows.

   (A)   Sewer rates.

      (1)   A charge for waste based on a monthly charge per 1,000 gallons of wastewater discharged into the sewer system applicable to all customers; and

      (2)   This user charge shall be based on the following.

         (a)   Charge levied on the town by the City of Boynton Beach for transmission and treatment of all of the town’s sewage; and

         (b)   Charges incurred by the town in:

            1.   Operation and maintenance;

            2.   Capital cost; and

            3.   Other as applicable.

   (B)   Sewer surcharge. A surcharge for waste in excess of the parameters for strength as established in the § 52.31(B), which may be assessed to all applicable customers. It is deemed that in the majority of instances, such high-strength waste would affect only the regional treatment facility. As such, all surcharge funds received by individual collection systems shall be made payable to the town on a monthly basis.
