927.17 AIR-CONDITIONING RATE.

   (a)    On premises utilizing water produced otherwise than from the City water works system for air-conditioning or cooling purposes, the waste from which process is discharged into the system, an additional sewer charge shall be made in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the charge that would accrue if a like quantity of water had been used from the City water works system.

   (b)    Also, if the Director of Public Service determines that the amount of water so discharged is excessive and unduly burdensome to the system, an increased rate may be established by the Director. All owners or users of premises employing water produced otherwise than from the City water works system for air-conditioning or cooling purposes are hereby required, forthwith, to report the same to the Director of Public Service whenever the system is in operation or is placed in operation.

   (c)    If, in the judgment of the Director of Public Service, the discharge from the cooling or air-conditioning system is overloading the sewer or treatment plant and the water is not contaminated by objectionable materials, the Director may require the owner to dispose of the water in such other way as may be best in the judgment of the Director.
