Under Ordinance No. 4131, the City of Grand Island, Nebraska, has agreed to account for its revenues and expenditures in a specified manner. It is considered that the requirements for user charge accounting systems can be met by following the accounting procedures outlined in Ordinance No. 4131 and supplemental ordinance which have been issued subsequently for additional bonds.
Where, in the judgment of the council, special conditions surround the use of city water to the extent that the application of the service charges, rates, or rentals as specified by this Article would be inequitable and unfair to either the City or such consumers, the council shall establish a special rate applying to such consumers. Such special rates when adopted by ordinance by the city council shall apply to all consumers under like circumstances.
Septic tank sludge may be deposited at the City's Wastewater Facility in a location designated by the superintendent of the said plant or his representative after payment of a fee in accordance with the City of Grand Island Fee Schedule for ordinary septage, having strength up to 6,000 mg/l BOD, and 20,000 mg/l SS.
Per 100 gallons or fraction thereof of tank capacity in accordance with the City of Grand Island Fee Schedule.
For septage having strength of more than 6,000 mg/L BOD, and 20,000 mb/L SS, the fee shall be charged according to the current Fee Schedule for charges of high septic sludge.
Waste from a recreational vehicle may be deposited at the City's water pollution control plant in a location designated by the superintendent of said plant. Fees for such discharge of recreational waste shall be on a voluntary basis.
The City will review the user charge system at least every two years and revise user charge rates as necessary to insure that the system generates adequate revenues to pay the cost of operation and maintenance, including replacement, and that the system continues to provide for the proportional distribution of operation and maintenance, including replacement expenses among users and user classes.
Any user which discharges any toxic pollutants which cause an increase in the cost of managing the effluent or the sludge from the City's treatment works, or any user which discharges any substance which singly or by interaction with other substances causes identifiable increases in the cost of operation and maintenance, including replacement of the treatment works, shall pay for such increased cost.
