A. Request For Review Of Charges: Any sewer user who feels his sewer user charge is unjust and inequitable as applied to that person's premises under the foregoing provisions may, within thirty (30) days of the City Council's resolution establishing charges or within thirty (30) days of receipt of the first billing under this chapter, make written application to the City Manager requesting a review of their user charge. Said written request shall, where necessary, show the actual or established average flow of that person's wastewater in comparison with the values upon which the charge is based, including how the measurements or estimates were made.
B. Recomputation Of User Charge: If the City Manager determines the request is substantiated, the user charge for the user shall be recomputed, based on the approved revised flow or strength data and the new charge shall be applicable retroactively up to six (6) months, as appropriate. Any refund shall be applied as a credit to future water and sewer billings.
C. Appeal By User; Payment Of Fees: Any appeal undertaken herein shall not excuse the user from paying all sewer user charges as they are assessed. Failure to pay such charge shall subject the user to the penalties provided in section 8-2-6 of this chapter. A subsequent ruling on appeal favorable to the sewer user shall not act to extinguish any penalties or interest assessed against the user for nonpayment of any user fees; provided, however, that such penalties and interest shall be recomputed consistent with any reduction in user fees allowed on appeal.
