§ 53.074 DOMESTIC STRENGTH DISCHARGE; SERVICE CHARGE FORMULA.

   (A)   The sewer service charge for normal domestic strength discharges shall be computed in accordance with the formula presented below:

      T = FC + (V x COV) + (V x CDV) + SCi

   (B)   For the above formula:

      (1)   T = total sewer service charge;

      (2)   FC + (V x COV) = user charge;

      (3)   (V x CDV) = debt service charge;

      (4)   FC = fixed charge;

      (5)   COV = charge per 1,000 gallons for OM&R costs, less revenues generated through surcharges;

      (6)   CDV = charge per 1,000 gallons for debt service costs;

      (7)   V = billable wastewater volume in 1,000 gallons; and

      (8)   SCi = surcharge, as described in § 53.078, for users with higher than normal domestic strength waste.

   (C)   (1)   The value of COV is determined by dividing the yearly estimated operation, maintenance, and replacement costs, less fixed administrative costs, by the annual billable wastewater flow;

      (2)   The value of CDV is determined by dividing the yearly debt service charge for the bond by the annual billable wastewater flow; and

      (3)   The value of FC is determined by dividing the yearly fixed administrative costs of operation and maintenance by the total number of billings.
