§ 51.077 CONTRACT CUSTOMERS.
   (A)   Contract customer rates are applicable only to those users that meet the criteria described in the definition of a contract customer. If a user does not meet the criteria in the definition of a contract customer, the user will be considered to be a retail customer and retail rates shall apply.
   (B)   In the event City Utilities consummates a contract to serve as a regional treatment plant to a contract customer the following fees and charges shall apply:
      (1)   Treatment charge (per 100 cubic feet).
      (2)   Conveyance charge (per 100 cubic feet). A variable charge for conveyance and collections costs attributable to each contract customer’s portion of the city conveyance system, operating costs associated therewith, shall be computed by the city and added to the treatment to arrive at the contractee’s total metered rate.
      (3)   Monthly service charge.
      (4)    Surveillance/evaluation charge. All contract customers discharging wastes into the system that require continuing surveillance sampling and waste evaluation, shall be subject to the charges set forth in § 51.071 or as otherwise specified in the customer’s contract.
      (5)   Excess strength of waste. In the event a contract customer user contributes waste having a strength of sewage in excess of domestic waste characteristics, as hereinbefore defined, a surcharge shall be implemented per § 51.072 or as otherwise specified in the customer’s contract.
      (6)   Capital surcharge. In the event a contract customer delivers sewage for treatment to the city for three consecutive billing periods (approximately 90 consecutive days) which is in excess of the base volume limit guaranteed in the contract, then the customer will be subject to a capital surcharge, computed at the capital rate per 100 cubic feet in effect for outside the city customers set out elsewhere herein. The capital rate per 100 cubic feet shall be multiplied by the excess percentage of volume calculated by dividing the daily average for three billing periods by the contracted volume limit.
      (7)   Volumetric exceedance fee. The additional fee for exceedances to the contractual volume limits to be collected from contract customer users discharging sewage to the water pollution control utility. This fee (also defined and specified in contracts under different terminology, such as the “Treatment Plant Capital Surcharge”) shall be collected as specified in each contract and calculated as defined by the contract. Such fees shall contribute to the payment of costs associated with operation, installation, adjustment or other improvements to the water pollution control utility intended to serve the contract customer when it discharges flows exceeding the capacity allocated per the contract.
      (8)   Peak flow exceedance fee. The additional fee for exceedances to the contractual peak flow limits to be collected from contract customer users discharging sewage to the water pollution control utility. This fee (also defined and specified in contracts under different terminology, such as “Peak Penalty Rates”) shall be collected as specified in each contract and calculated as defined by the contract. Such fees shall contribute to the payment of costs associated with operation, installation, adjustment or other improvements to the water pollution central utility intended to serve the contract customer when it discharges flows exceeding the capacity allocated per the contract.
      (9)   Other provisions. In the event sewage received pursuant to any contract entered into under this section exceeds any of the limitations imposed by this chapter, City Utilities shall have the right to impose all limitations, charges and penalties applicable to any non- contract customer user. Each contract entered into by City Utilities pursuant to the foregoing rate classification shall provide that the contract customer shall agree to enact and maintain a sewer use ordinance and user charge system acceptable to City Utilities and in conformance with City Utilities’ obligations under § 204(b)(1), Public Law 92-500 as amended and supplemented, and guidelines and regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and 40 CFR 35-905-8, 35-928-1 and 35-928-2 and 35-935-13.
