On or before March 1, the Director of Public Service shall annually submit to City Council the proposed sewer rate schedule for the ensuing year, including the Consumer Price Index annual cost of living adjustment, for review by City Council. The resulting adjusted rates, together with a table or schedule of the adjusted sewer rates for each classification of sewer user, shall go into effect upon the effective date of the ordinance.
