Over and above the rates and charges established by Section 923.02, there may be established, in special instances and upon special agreement between the City and the owner of any premises served by the system, such additional charges for industrial wastes of unusual strength or composition, or for other unduly burdensome discharges into the system which are accepted by the City for treatment as may be determined to be fair and equitable. Each such special agreement and the charges established thereby shall not become effective until ratified by ordinance duly passed by Council.
(1957 Code §16-21)
The following measures shall be used to determine sewer charges provided by Section 923.02 (except with respect to subsection (e) and the air conditioning rate provided in subsection (f) of such section) upon all premises served by the system:
(a) On all premises using water exclusively supplied by the City, water consumption on the premises shall be measured by water meter acceptable to the Director of Public Safety and Service.
(b) On premises using water supplied either in whole or in part from sources other than the waterworks system of the City, the Director may require the owner or other interested party to install water meters satisfactory to the Director to the extent necessary to measure all such supplies of water and the quantity of water consumed on the premises shall be deemed to be the aggregate amount disclosed by the meters.
(c) In the event it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Director with respect to any premises, that a portion of the water from any source consumed on the premises does not and cannot enter the system, then in each such case the owner or other interested party may, at his expense, install and maintain separate metering devices to the extent necessary to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Director the portion of the water consumed on the premises which is discharged into the system, which portion shall constitute the basis for measuring the sewer charge for the premises under Section 923.02.
(1957 Code §16-22)
The sewer charges levied, at the rates established by Section 923.02, shall take effect on July 1, 1954, and shall thereafter be billed and become payable in the following manner: charges levied with respect to premises served by the City's waterworks system shall be included in and be payable with the City's water bill to such premises and shall be billed quarterly, bimonthly or monthly in accordance with the billing period for City water furnished to such premises. In respect of premises not served by the City's waterworks system, such charges shall be billed and payable quarterly, unless, upon application to the Director of Public Safety and Service, he shall approve a different billing period for such premises and, in either case, shall be payable at the same times, respectively, as City water bills are rendered and become payable. Any premises making connection with the system and using the same after July 1, 1954, shall be charged a per diem pro rata amount, based upon the minimum charge, from the time such connection is made or such discharge into the system is begun, until the commencement of the next following billing period applicable to the premises, except that should the measured service exceed the minimum charge, the measured rate shall be charged. In case of failure to pay any bill for sewer charges when due, a penalty of five percent of such charges shall be added to such bill.
