(A) (1) If the character of the sewage effluent of any user imposes an unreasonable additional burden upon the sewage disposal system of the village, an additional charge shall be made over and above the rates charged for sewage disposal service.
(2) Effluent in excess of the normal domestic sewage limit imposed by this chapter shall be deemed prima facie evidence that an unreasonable burden has been placed upon the system and shall be subject to surcharge.
(B) (1) (a) If necessary to protect the system or any part thereof, the village shall deny the right of any user to discharge such sewage into the system. Surcharges required by this section shall be computed as the prorated share of the annual cost of operation and maintenance attributable to treating the substance multiplied by the ratio of weight of surchargeable excess of the discharged substance to the total weight of such substance that is treated in that year.
(b) This amount shall be collected, on the basis of estimated surchargeable amounts, with each periodic billing and shall be adjusted annually to reflect actual operation and maintenance costs.
(2) For all sewer services provided on or after July 1, 1993, surcharge rates shall be computed as follows.
BOD (Biochemical oxygen demand, per pound) | $0.1618 |
Suspended soils, per pound | $0.1266 |
