(A) The Wastewater User Charge System (UCS) strives to ensure an equal distribution of collection and treatment costs to the wastewater users. All customers with normal strength sewage, whether residential or commercial, will receive the same minimum bill and will be charged the same cost per equal volume of flow treated.
(B) The UCS will combine all costs to operate, maintain and repair the wastewater transportation and treatment system. Fixed cost (debt service) will also be included in the UCS.
(1) The wastewater user rate for Marion will be based on a percentage of the water user rate, sufficient to cover the costs included in division (B) above.
(2) The cost must be paid equally by each customer based on their actual water use.
