(A) Biennial review. The Sewer Department will review, not less often than every two years, the wastewater contribution of users and user classes, the total costs of operation and maintenance of the POTW, and its approved user charge system. The Sewer Department shall, at that time, recommend a revision in the sewer service charge and user classes to accomplish the following:
(1) Maintain a reasonable proportionate distribution of operation and maintenance costs among users and user classes;
(2) Generate sufficient revenue to pay the total operation and maintenance costs necessary to the proper operation and maintenance (including replacement) of the treatment works; and
(3) Apply excess revenues collected from a class of users to the costs of operation and maintenance attributable to that class for the next year, and adjust the rate accordingly.
(B) Notification of users. Each user will be notified, at least annually, in conjunction with a regular bill, of the user charge rate and that portion of the total charges which are attributable to user charges.
(C) Inconsistent agreements. The user charge system set forth in this subchapter is applicable to all agreements or contracts between the city and users including industrial users, other municipalities or federal agencies or installations, and the terms of this subchapter shall take precedence over any such agreements or contracts which are inconsistent with the requirements of this subchapter.
