Where an industry now, or hereafter, discharging any wastes into a sewer connected to the Cincinnati Metropolitan Sewerage System contemplates providing facilities for pretreatment of such wastes so as to reduce the strength of such wastes, the industry can, by special agreement with the City of Cincinnati entered into within six months after the effective date of this chapter (Ordinance 6-53, passed May 8, 1953), bind itself to construct such pretreatment facilities within twelve months after the date the collection of the sewerage surcharge becomes effective. If any industry provides satisfactory pretreatment within the prescribed time, it shall be entitled to a refund in an amount equal to the difference between the surcharge actually paid and the surcharge that would have been paid had its pretreatment facilities been in operation on the date the sewerage surcharge went into effect.
(Ord. 6-53. Passed 5-8-53.)
