§ 8.10.110 SERVICE RATES.
   No collector shall increase its rates to provide solid waste and recyclables collection services to any commercial/industrial customer during any 12-month period by an amount exceeding the greater of 5% or the percentage increase in the current Consumer Price Index (CPI), per year. Should an uncontrollable circumstance necessitate a rate increase of more than 5%, or the percent of any CPI increase in any one year, then any commercial/industrial customer shall have the right to discontinue service with the collector without penalty, and enter into a service agreement with another permitted collector. Prior to any increase in rates, the collector shall provide the commercial/industrial customer with 30 days' prior written notice of the amount of the prospective rate increase. Should a commercial/industrial customer request a change in the level of service provided, the collector shall have the authority to adjust its rates accordingly.
