(a) Sewage or industrial wastes with above normal sewage strength, but acceptable for discharge into the sanitary sewerage system, shall be subject to a surcharge. The surcharge shall be determined on the basis of either or both of the following two constituents of water or wastes:
(1) Total SS; and/or
(2) Five-day BOD at twenty degrees C. and as herein provided.
(b) When either or both the total SS and the BOD of a water or waste accepted for admission to the system exceeds the values of their constituents for normal sewage, the excess concentration in either, or both, as the case may be, shall be subject to a surcharge as follows:
(1) Pounds of excess SS per day x $.32/lb. = SS surcharge.
(2) Pounds of excess BOD per day x $.37/lb. = BOD surcharge.
(c) In addition to the surcharge, the user will pay the use charges as defined in Section 1044.04.
(d) The pounds of BOD per day and/or pounds of SS per day, above the concentrations previously described for normal strength sewage that are discharged into the sewerage system, shall be determined by the City or its authorized representative.
(e) In addition to a surcharge on BOD and SS, the City shall have the right to surcharge any user for the discharge of any other pollutant into the sewerage system.
