The basic sewer service charge includes the following two components:
(A) A user charge as provided for in § 50.055, established and administered in accordance with USEPA rules and regulations and sufficient to produce revenues necessary for the proper operation, maintenance and replacement of the city's sewage treatment system.
(B) If required, a debt retirement charge as provided for in § 50.056.
(Ord. 63-90, passed 9-10-90)
(A) Extra Strength Surcharge. Where flows and loads are discharged in excess of normal strength limitations as defined in § 50.001, a surcharge over and above the charges provided for in § 50.057 shall be levied on all flows and loadings which exceed normal strength limitations in accordance with USEPA rules and regulations.
(B) Monitoring and Surveillance Charges. Where flows and loadings are discharged in excess of normal strength limitations as defined in § 50.001 and by reason of such flows and loadings, the city shall monitor discharges by sampling, analyzing or otherwise administering the provisions of §§ 50.055 to 50.071 including a pretreatment program; appropriate charges shall be developed and administered to adequately recover the cost of performing such service from users discharging such flows and loadings.
(Ord. 63-90, passed 9-10-90)
(A) For any such lot, parcel of land, building or premises situated within or outside the corporate limits of the city, the service charge or rate shall be based upon the quantity of water used thereon or therein as the same is measured by the city water meter in use.
(B) On any such premises using water supplied either in whole or in part from sources other than the waterworks system of the city, the Safety-Service Director may require the owner or other interested party to install water meters satisfactory to the Director to the extent necessary to measure all such supplies of water, and the quantity of water consumed on the premises shall be deemed to be the aggregate amount disclosed by the meters. The owner of such premises shall report such other sources of water to the Safety-Service Director within thirty days after the sewer charge herein provided shall become effective with respect to such premises.
(C) In the event it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Safety- Service Director with respect to any premises, that a portion of the water from any source consumed on such premises does not and cannot enter the system, then in each such case, the owner or other interested party, may at his expense install and maintain separate metering devices to the extent necessary to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Safety-Service Director the portion of the water consumed on the premises which is discharged into the system, which portion shall constitute the basis for measuring the sewer charge for the premises under the provisions of this section.
(D) (1) For any lot, land, building or premises for which connection is made with the city sanitary sewerage system, and which begins to discharge sewage, any industrial waste, water or other liquids into the city sanitary sewerage system, either directly or indirectly, a charge shall be made pursuant to this chapter.

(A) Replacement Fund. The sum of money designated annually for replacement costs as established by USEPA rules and regulations shall be deducted from the revenues resulting from user charges as provided for in § 50.055 and deposited in a Replacement Fund, to be used or accumulated for obtaining repair parts, replacing equipment, accessories or appurtenances during the useful life of the sewage disposal system which are necessary to maintain or regain the capacity and performance for which such equipment and plant were designed and constructed.
(B) Sanitary Sewer Fund. The sum of money received from revenues resulting from user charges as provided for in § 50.055 less replacement requirements set forth in subsection (A) hereof, shall be deposited in a Sanitary Sewer Fund, to be used for operation and maintenance of the City's sewage disposal system.
(C) Debt Service Fund. The sum of money received from revenues resulting from debt retirement charges as provided for in § 50.056 shall be deposited in a Debt Service Fund to be used to pay outstanding indebtedness incurred on behalf of the sewage disposal system. Unless the debt retirement charge fully complies with USEPA user charge requirements, moneys in this Fund shall not be used for operation, maintenance or replacement.
In no event shall any of the funds be used for any other purpose as set forth or that would be contrary to the purposes permitted under R.C. § 729.52.
(Ord. 63-90, passed 9-10-90)
