(A) The city hereby determines that a just and equitable rate of charges to be paid to said city for the use of its sewer utilities by every city sewer utilities user whose premises are served by a connection to such sewer utility directly or indirectly shall be as set forth below.
(B) Such charges have been determined, as nearly as possible in the judgment of the governing body, equitable and in proportion to the services rendered taking into consideration the quantity of sewage produced and its concentration, strength, and river pollution qualities in general. These rates are determined by the relationship of the metering of private water supplies on each premises served by such sewer, and in doing so, the governing body has taken into consideration the amount or proportion of water which is used on said premises in such manner that it does not reach or burden said sewer utilities. Such charges shall be collected at the same time and place in conjunction with the water rentals. A minimum service charge of $2 per month for each household or commercial unit plus a charge of $1.15 per thousand gallons of metered water determined by using the average number of gallons of metered water for each user during the months of November, December, January, and February of the prior year.
(C) Service charges for trailer courts for which one meter is used for two or more trailers and the charges are paid for by the trailer court owners shall be the same as set forth above provided, however, that the number of gallons of metered water shall be based upon the actual number of gallons used. Water meters will be read every two months, and the next month’s bill will include sewer charges based upon the gallons of water metered over the prior two months. Sewer charges for these customers will be billed every other month and will alternate months with water billings so that both water and sewer are not billed to the customer the same month.
