(a) Surcharges shall be determined on the basis of the following constituents of the wastewater that are in excess of “Normal Strength” Wastewater:
(1) Total suspended solids (nonfilterable residue);
(2) BOD, 5-days at 20° C.
(3) Total phosphorous (P).
(b) When any or all of the total suspended solids or BOD or phosphorous of a wastewater accepted for admission to the City’s sanitary sewer system exceeds the values of the above specified constituents for “Normal Strength” Wastewater, the amount of the treatment surcharge to be paid will be based on the cost per pound of removing the excess quantity of each constituent.
(c) Extra Strength Surcharges are hereby established as follows:
(1) Suspended solids | $0.07 per lb. |
(2) 5 day Biochemical Oxygen Demand | 0.09 per lb. |
(3) Total phosphorous (P) | 0.34 per lb. |
(d) An Industrial Wastewater Surveillance Charge is hereby established of two hundred dollars ($200.00) per year for each connection discharging industrial wastewaters to the sanitary sewer system. Where it has been reported that no industrial wastewaters are being discharged, a fifty dollars ($50.00) charge shall be levied only once per year to cover the cost of verifying such report. The moneys collected from this charge shall be used to cover the cost of making surveys, record keeping and occasional analytical work necessary for verification of owner reported results.
