* Editor's note – As set forth in Coun. J. 11-16-11, p. 14596, Art. III, § 1. Future legislation will correct the provision if needed.
Beginning June 1, 2016, and every year thereafter, the annual rates shall be adjusted upwards, if applicable, by applying to the previous year's rates the rate of inflation, calculated based on the Consumer Price Index – Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (Chicago All Items) published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics for the 365-day period ending on the most recent January 1. Any such annual increase, however, shall be capped at 105% of the previous year's rate. The above schedule of charges shall apply to direct connections, which directly link the subject property to the city's sewer system, and to indirect connections, which link the subject property to the city's sewer system through an intervening pipe or set of pipes that themselves are not part of the city's sewer system. In applying the above schedule of charges, the amount due for a single connection to the city's sewer system (whether a direct connection or an indirect connection) serving two or more buildings shall be the product of the applicable rate for the size of the pipe at said connection multiplied by the number of individual buildings discharging through said connection.
