935.12 PACKAGE PLANTS; CHARGES.

   For the use of and the service rendered by a wastewater treatment package plant, rates and charges shall be collected from each user connected with such wastewater treatment package plant based upon the volume of water usage. The total service charge (TSC) for residential, commercial, institutional, governmental and industrial users of such wastewater treatment package plant shall be the sum of the following amounts in effect on the dates as hereafter indicated:

 

	Effective Dates
	Jan. 1, 2003	Jan. 1, 2004	Jan. 1, 2005
Basic Billing Charge	$ 2.31	$ 2.35	$ 2.40
Service Charge (SC) per 100 cubic feet	5.31	5.42	5.53
Surcharge for BOD5 in excess of 200 mg/l (per pound of BOD5)	0.724	0.739	0.753
Surcharge for SS in excess of 250 mg/l (per pound of SS)	0.918	0.936	0.955

   Because a meter reading for all customers cannot be accomplished on the effective date of the above rate charge, and because it is therefore not possible to measure precisely between usage at the former rate and the usage at the above rate, the service charges based on the meter readings or usage estimates obtained or derived in January shall be billed at the preceding year’s rate. All sewer charges based upon meter readings or usage estimates, which occur for months other than January following the effective date of the above rate increases shall be billed entirely at the above-established rates.
