(A) The following schedule of user charge rates shall apply to each user of the wastewater treatment works. This schedule includes rates for OM&R and rates for debt service charges, each based on the volume of metered or estimated consumption.

(B) For residential, industrial, institutional and commercial users, monthly user charges will be based on actual water usage. If a residential, commercial, institutional or industrial user has a consumptive use of water, or, in some other manner, uses water which is not discharged into the wastewater collection system, the user charge for that contributor may be based on readings of a wastewater meter(s) or separate water meter(s) installed and maintained at the user’s expense.
(C) (1) For those users whose wastewater has a greater strength than normal domestic wastewater, a surcharge in addition to the normal user charge, will be collected.
(2) The following surcharge rates shall apply to each user of the treatment works that has received permission from the manager or designated authority to contribute excessive strength sewage:
Surcharge Rates
| |
BOD | $1.34 per pound |
SS | $1.34 per pound |
(D) Method of billing surcharges.
(1) The excessive strength surcharge shall be based on a formula (see example below), with the total applied to the monthly bill of affected users:
Example formula
(A(D-275) + B (E-275)) x .00834 x G = Surcharge Payment ($/Month)
Where formula components are as follows:
A = Surcharge rate for BOD, in $/pound
B = Surcharge rate of SS in $/pound
C = Surcharge rate for other pollutant(s) in $/pound
D = User’s average BOD concentration, in mg/l
E = User’s average SS concentration, in mg/l
F = User’s average other pollutants concentration, in mg/l
G = User’s monthly flow so wastewater works, per 1,000 gallons
(2) No reduction in wastewater service charges, fees or taxes shall be permitted because of the fact that certain wastes discharged to the wastewater works contain less than 275 mg/l of BOD and 275 mg/l of SS.
