A. Where premises served by the sewer system are located within a lift station service area designated by the city council in the manner hereinafter provided by Article V of this Chapter and are connected to the sewer system by way of a sewer main or trunkline which is tributary to the lift station, the monthly sewer service fee assessed and levied on the owner of such premises in the manner required by this Article shall include a lift station surcharge, as determined from the lift station service rates established by resolution of the city council.
B. The city council shall adopt a resolution establishing lift station service rates for each lift station service area at the time of initially designating the service area and at the commencement of each fiscal year thereafter, and shall base the lift station service rates, as set forth therein, on all of the following factors:
1. The estimated monthly cost of operating and maintaining the lift station during the ensuing fiscal year and/or remaining portion of the current fiscal year;
2. The total number of dwelling units on all of the residential premises within the lift station service area then connected to the sewer system by way of a sewer main or trunkline tributary to the lift station, and the total quantity of waste water discharged from all of the nonresidential premises within the lift station service area then connected to the sewer system by way of a sewer main or trunkline tributary to the service area as measured in cubic feet;
3. That part of the estimated monthly cost of operating and maintaining the lift station which can reasonably be attributed to each dwelling unit located on residential premises then connected to the sewer system by way of a sewer main or trunkline tributary to the lift station; and,
4. That part of the estimated monthly cost of operating and maintaining the lift station which can reasonably be attributed to each cubic foot of waste water discharged from nonresidential premises then connected to the sewer system by way of a sewer main or trunkline tributary to the lift station.
