(A) In order to comply with the federal regulations, in the case of federal grant assistance for the construction of waste treatment works, where it has been determined that industrial users are required to reimburse a portion of the federal grant amount allocable to the capital cost of constructing facilities for the treatment of industrial wastes, rates, and charges shall be collected from each industrial user connected to the municipal sewage works or who otherwise discharges sewage, water, or liquids, either directly or indirectly, into the municipal waste treatment system, which charges shall be payable as hereinafter provided, and shall be in an amount determinable as follows.
(B) (1) The industrial cost recovery charges for the treatment of industrial wastes shall be based on the volume of sewage flow billed to industrial users, as determined in accordance with appropriate provisions for determining billed flow included in §§ 51.035 through 51.040. The strength and character of industrial wastes shall be measured at the industrial users’ expense as provided for in § 51.039. The owner or industrial user shall furnish a central sampling point available to the city at all times. In the event that measurement of the strength and character of industrial wastes are not provided to the city on a timely basis, the measurements of the strength and character of industrial wastes shall be determined by the city on the basis of a sample to be taken by the city for the purpose of appropriate billing.
(2) The industrial cost recovery rate for the treatment of wastes shall be as follows:
Waste Factors | Charges |
B.O.D. in excess of 204 mg/l | $0.018 per pound |
Monthly volume flow | $0.116 per 1000 gallons |
S/S in excess of 240 mg/l | $0.015 per pound |
(C) However, in the event an industrial user can and does show, to the satisfaction of the city, that a portion of the total monthly billed sewage flow is from sanitary conveniences, then the flow to which the industrial cost recovery charge is applied shall be determined on the basis of net flow excluding sanitary conveniences.
(D) The industrial cost recovery charges for treatment services shall be prepared and billed quarterly.
(E) The industrial cost recovery rates and charges shall be prepared, billed, and collected in the manner provided by law and ordinance.
(F) The industrial cost recovery charges for treatment services shall become effective for services rendered during the first calendar quarter following completion of construction, and shall be prepared and billed quarterly.
