(A) The rates and charges computed on the basis of water used as set forth in § 52.051 of this chapter shall be as follows:
(1) Base customer charge: $9.13/month;
(2) Normal treatment charge (excluding restaurants): minimum 6,000 gallons at rate of $0.8085 per 1,000 gallons or $4.85 per month. All water consumed in excess of the 6,000-gallon-per-month minimum as established in division (B) below shall be subject to a $0.8085 per 1,000 gallon surcharge for normal treatment; and
(3) Customers located outside the town limits shall be charged two times the rates shown in this section for normal treatment.
(B) Residential customers not connected to the town’s water distribution system shall be billed for a quantity of 6,000 gallons per month on a monthly basis and at the rates in division (A) above.
(C) Commercial users not connected to the town’s water distribution system shall be billed based on the method prescribed by the Town Manager as representative of the user’s wastewater contribution volume and at the rates in division (A) above.
(D) In addition to the rates and charges imposed by divisions (A) through (C) above, significant industrial users will be assessed a surcharge for extra strength wastewater discharges. Significant industrial users located within and without the town, which discharge biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) which exceeds the normal domestic strength BOD (280 mg/l) will be assessed a surcharge as determined by the Town Manager.
(1) The total BOD surcharge is computed by the following formula:
S = a x b x c
Where:
S = BOD, surcharge amount
a = Normal domestic BOD rate per 1,000 gallons
b = % by which the classification average discharge BOD exceeds the normal domestic
discharge BOD (280 mg/l)
c = Water volume used to calculate the wastewater user charge
(2) The biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) quantity charge is $0.5834 per 1,000 gallons for normal domestic sewage.
(E) In addition to the base customer charge imposed by division (A) above, restaurants shall also be assessed a normal treatment charge as follows: minimum 6,000 gallons at rate of $1.2400 per 1,000 gallons or $7.4403 per month. All water consumed in excess of the 6,000-gallon-per-month minimum as established in this section shall be subject to a $1.2400 per 1,000 gallon surcharge for normal treatment.
(F) In addition to the base customer charge imposed by division (A) above, fast food restaurants shall be assessed a normal treatment charge as follows: minimum 6,000 gallons at the rate of $0.9974 per 1,000 gallons or $5.9842 per month. All water consumed in excess of the 6,000-gallon-per-month minimum as established in this section shall be subject to a $0.9974 per 1,000 gallon surcharge for normal treatment.
(G) On an annual basis, these rates shall be adjusted by the amount of the previous year’s Denver- Boulder-Greeley Consumer Price Index with no further action of the Board of Trustees. The annual adjustment will take place in the January billing beginning in 2020.
