(A) Annual audit. The city shall review, at least every year, the wastewater contribution of its sewer users, the operation and maintenance expenses of the wastewater treatment facilities, and the sewer service charge system. Based on this review, the city shall revise the sewer service charge system, if necessary, to accomplish the following:
(1) Maintain a proportionate distribution of operation and maintenance expenses among sewer users based on the wastewater volume and pollutant loadings discharged by the users;
(2) Generate sufficient revenues to pay the operation and maintenance expenses of the wastewater treatment facilities; and
(3) Apply excess revenues collected from a class of users to the operation and maintenance expenses attributable to that class of users for the next year and adjust the sewer service charge rates accordingly.
(B) Annual notification. The city shall notify its sewer users annually about the sewer service charge rates. The notification shall show what portion of the rates are attributable to the operation and maintenance expenses and debt service costs of the wastewater treatment facilities.
