7-4-15: METHODS OF COMPUTATION OF USER CHARGE SYSTEMS AND INDUSTRIAL COST RECOVERY SYSTEMS:
(A)   Definition of symbols and identification of available data:
1. The symbolic representation of the data shall be:
(a) BOD = 5 day biochemical oxygen demand
(b) SS = suspended solids
(c) Q = flow
The data which quantify the twelve (12) month average values for sewage treatment plant influent data are as follows:
(d) BOC = 152 mg/l
(e) SS = 181.4 mg/l
(f) Q = 450,000 g/d
2. The symbolic representation of the discharge data for the i'th industry shall be: n/a
(a) BOD i = 5 day biochemical oxygen demand
(b) SS i = suspended solids
(c) Q i = flow (Any user's 12 month average metered water usage should be adjusted for any quantities of water which are not discharged to the sewer system.)
The data which quantity the twelve (12) month average values for the discharge data for the industrial users of the sewerage works are as indicated in this chapter.
3. The symbolic representation of the twelve (12) month annual average values for the discharge data for the i'th nonindustrial user of the sewerage works shall be:
Q i = flow (Any user's 12 month average metered water usage should be adjusted for any quantities of water which are not discharged to the sewer system.)
and the five (5) day biochemical oxygen demand and the suspended solids concentrations are unknown.
4. The symbolic representation of the domestic population using the sewerage works shall be:
DP = domestic population
(B)   Definition of symbols and computation of characteristic values for nonindustrial waste discharges:
1. The symbolic representation of the twelve (12) month average characteristic values for flow are:
(a) Q NI     = total nonindustrial discharge
(b) q = per capita nonindustrial discharge
and the computed values are:
n
(c) Q NI = [summation] q i = 450,000 g/d DP=5231
i=1
(d) q = Q NI /DP = 86.03 g/cap/d
2. The symbolic representation of the twelve (12) month average characteristic values for five (5) day biochemical oxygen demand are:
            
(a) BOD = concentration of 5 day biochemical oxygen demand
(b) bod = per capita 5 day biochemical oxygen demand
and the computed values are:
                                              n
(c) BOD = [(BOD x Q) - (summation BOD i x Q i )] ÷ Q NI = 152 mg/l
i =1
n
(d) bod = [(BOD x Q) - (summation BOD i x Q i )] x 8.34 + DP = 0.109
#/cap/d i=1
3. The symbolic representation of the twelve (12) month average characteristic values for suspended solids are:
(a) SS = concentration of suspended solids
(b) ss = per capita suspended solids
and the computed values are:
n
(c) SS = [(SS x Q) - (summation SS i x Q i )] ÷ Q NI = 181.40 mg/l
i=1
n
(d) ss = [(SS x Q) - (summation SS i x Q i )] x 8.34 ÷ DP = 0.130 #/cap/d
i=1
(C)   (Reserved for possible future use for definition of symbols and computation of industrial population equivalents.)
(D)   Determination of user charges for operation, maintenance, and replacement:
1. Computation of unit costs:
(a) Where costs cannot be allocated among five (5) day biochemical oxygen demand, suspended solids, and flow:
(1) The symbolic representation of the cost for operation, maintenance, and replacement shall be:
$BOD,SS,Q -= total operation, maintenance, and replacement costs
(2) The symbolic representation of the per capita cost for operation, maintenance and replacement shall be:
$BOD,SS,Q/cap -= per capita operation, maintenance, and replacement costs
(3) The value of the per capita operation, maintenance, and replacement cost is:
$BOD,SS,Q/cap = $BOD,SS,Q ÷ [DP ÷ 1/3 x (summation PE BODi
i=1
÷ PE SSi ÷ PE Pi ] = $30.45/year/person
2. Computation of user charge rate per gallon of discharge for nonindustrial users of the sewerage works:
(a) Where costs cannot be allocated among five (5) day biochemical oxygen demand, suspended solids, and flow:
(1) The symbolic representation of the user charge rate per gallon of discharge for nonindustrial users shall be:
$/g = user charge rate per gallon of discharge
(2) The value of the user charge rate per gallon of discharge is:
$/g = $BOD,SS,Q/cap x DP ÷ Q NI = $0.00094/g
3. Summary of user charges:
(a) For nonindustrial users and for the normal strength component of wastes from industrial users:
(1) The symbolic representation of the user charge for normal strength wastes, as contained in this chapter is:
CU = user charge
(2) The relationship between "CU" and "$/g" is as follows:
CU = $/g x 1000
inasmuch as "CU" is a charge per one thousand (1,000) gallons of sewage discharge
(b) For the higher than normal strength component of wastes from industrial users:
(1) The symbolic representation of the surcharge for higher than normal strength wastes, as contained in this chapter is:
CS = surcharge for an industrial user
(2) The relationship between "CS" and "SC i " is as follows:
CS = SC i

7-4-16: USE OF CITY SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT:
(A)   Any person may transport and dump raw sewage, at his own expense, at the place provided therefor at the sewage disposal plant maintained by the city. It shall be unlawful, however, to dump raw sewage at the sewage disposal plant which contains prohibited substances not permitted or allowed to flow in the sanitary sewer system of the city under section 7-4-6 of this chapter.
(B)   The fee for such dumping of raw sewage shall be one dollar ($1.00) per one hundred (100) gallons.
(C)   In addition to other penalties, any person who violates this section by dumping raw sewage containing prohibited substances as defined in said section 7-4-6 of this chapter shall not be permitted to use the sanitary sewer system and sewage disposal plant of the city, or any part thereof, until satisfactory bond and surety shall be given to the city that such violation shall not be repeated. (Ord. 75-271, 8-4-1975; amd. Ord. 77-336, 2-7-1977)

The offender shall, within the period of time stated in such notice, permanently cease all violations. The city may revoke any permit for sewage disposal as a result of any violation of any provision of this chapter.
