(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 in not discharged into the wastewater collection system, the user charge for the contributor may be based on readings of a wastewater meter(s)or separate water meter installed and maintained at the user's expense.
(C) 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. At this time there is no industrial discharge to the City of Marion, Kentucky Wastewater Treatment Plant. A surcharge system will be developed at such time that higher than ordinary strength wastes are discharged to the treatment plant.
