(A) Industries shall remit to the city, in addition to the normal sewage service charges, the industries' share based on strength and volume of its wastes, of the federal grant funds applied to the construction of the sewage treatment facility and other grant applicable projects.
(B) Industries which are required to contribute cost recovery of applicable costs are categorized as those industries which discharge any waste other than normal domestic waste to the sewage system.
(C) Industries shall submit cost recovery payments annually for a period not to exceed 30 years.
(D) Industrial cost recovery payments are based on the amount of federal grant funds allocable to the design flow, B.O.D., and suspended solids of the sewage treatment facility. The design costs are divided by the 30-year recovery period to give the cost per year. These costs are divided by the design daily flow, B.O.D., and suspended solids for the year. The addition of the elements of cost constitute the amount an industry pays for cost recovery for the applicable year. Industry will be responsible for monitoring its wastes in § 52.51 and submitting monthly analyses to the Mayor. Rates and industrial cost recovery will be based on the industrial analyses. Samples will be taken by the Mayor, his representative, or duly authorized employees of the city, on an irregular basis for the purpose of validating the results of industrial samples (see § 52.32). If an industry does not wish to monitor its wastes, rates and industrial cost recovery will be based on results obtained from samples taken by the city plus a monitoring charge.
(E) Industrial cost recovery payments, payable to the city, shall be collected semiannually. However, an industry may fulfill its cost recovery obligation by making a lump sum payment for its entire share of project costs. An industry shall be required to make an additional payment over and above the lump sum if and whenever the flow or strength of its waste increases.
(F) In the case of nonpayment, an industry shall be subject to a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500.00) per day until such payment is made.
(G) Industrial cost recovery funds collected by the city shall be held in federally insured, interest bearing accounts. The city shall annually remit 50% of the total amount collected to the U.S. Treasury. Forty percent will be held for future grant applicable construction of sewage facilities, and 10% may be used as the governing body of the city shall determine.
