The City Council has determined that, in order to provide safe, adequate water to the users of the system, and to assure safe transportation and treatment of sewage discharged into the system by all users of the system, the system must receive sufficient total annual revenue to ensure the proper operation and maintenance of the system, the development and perpetuation of the system, and the preservation of the financial integrity of the system. The City Council has also determined that the system shall be self- sustaining, supported solely by the revenues of the system and not dependent upon the property tax payers of the city. To meet those ends, City Council shall annually fix the rates and charges to be imposed on all users of each component of the system in accordance with the principles and standards set forth in this article.
