Annually, on or before November 1, the Board of Public Utilities shall prepare a recommended schedule of sewer service charges. The Board shall submit such schedule at the first regular Council meeting in November for ratification and incorporation into the City ordinances. The schedule shall be in accordance with the following requirements:
(a) The schedule shall result in the distribution of the costs of operation and maintenance of the treatment works within the City's jurisdiction to each user class in proportion to such user's contribution to the total wastewater loading of the treatment works. Factors such as strength, volume and delivery flow rate characteristics shall be considered and included as the basis for the user's contribution to ensure a proportional distribution of operation and maintenance (including replacement) costs to each user's class.
(b) The schedule shall be reviewed annually and revised periodically to reflect actual treatment works operation and maintenance costs.
(c) The schedule shall generate sufficient revenue to offset the costs of all treatment works operation and maintenance.
