(A) Basis for wastewater service charges. The wastewater service charge for the use of a service supplied by the wastewater facilities of the village shall consist of a basic user charge for operation and maintenance plus replacement, and a surcharge, if applicable.
(B) Basic user charge. The basic user charge shall be based on water usage as recorded by water meters and/or sewage meters for wastes not exceeding the following normal concentrations:
(1) A five-day, 20°C biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of 200 mg/l;
(2) A suspended solids (SS) content of 250 mg/l; and
(3) Fats, oil and grease (FOG) content of 100 mg/l.
(C) A treatment service surcharge shall be levied to all users whose wastewater exceeds the normal concentrations listed in division (B) of this section as determined by wastewater sampling. A basic surcharge will be computer based upon normal operating cost of the POTW as proportioned to the above constituents, based upon the design criteria of the POTW. Sewer users whose wastewater exceeds 250% of the limit of pollutants indicated in division (B) of this section shall be subject to a 100% increase in the surcharge for that pollutant. Sewer users whose wastewater exceeds 500% of the limit of any pollutants indicated in division (B) of this section shall be subject to a 200% increase in the surcharge for that pollutant.
(D) A surcharge will be levied to all users whose waters exceed the normal concentrations for BOD (200 mg/l) and SS (250 mg/l). The surcharge will be based on water usage as recorded by water meters and/or sewage meters for all wastes which exceed the 200 mg/l and 250 mg/l concentration for BOD and SS, respectively.
