(B) Each user shall pay its proportionate share of operation and maintenance costs of the treatment works, based on the user’s proportionate contribution to the total wastewater loading from all users.
(C) Each user shall pay capital recovery charges as determined by the City Council.
(D) Sewer service rates and charges to users of the wastewater treatment works shall be determined and fixed in a sewer service charge system, developed with the assistance of Donohue and Associates, Inc., according to the provisions of this chapter. The sewer service charge system shall be adopted by resolution, shall be published in the local newspaper, and shall be effective upon publication. Subsequent changes in sewer service rates and charges shall be adopted by Council resolution and shall be published in the local newspaper.
(E) Revenues collected for sewer service shall be deposited in a separate fund known as the Sewer Service Fund. Income from revenues collected will be expended to offset the cost of operation and maintenance for the facility and the cost of capital-related expenditures.
(F) Sewer service charges and the Sewer Service Fund will be administered in accordance with the provisions set out herein.
