(A) The Town Council shall review not less often than once per year the sewage contributions of users, the total costs of operation and maintenance (including replacement) of the sewerage facilities, and the user charge system. The Town Council shall revise the user charges, if necessary, to accomplish the following:
(1) Maintain the proportionate distribution of operation and maintenance costs among users and user classifications. Each user shall pay its proportionate share of operation and maintenance (including replacement) costs;
(2) Generate sufficient revenue to pay the total operation and maintenance costs necessary for the proper operation and maintenance (including replacement) of the sewerage facilities; and
(3) Apply excess revenues to a capital reserve account.
(B) Charges shall be based on actual costs.
(C) Each user discharging any toxic pollutants which cause an increase in the cost of managing the effluent or the sludge from the treatment works shall pay for 100% of such increased costs.
(D) All flow to the sewerage facilities not directly attributable to the users (i.e., infiltration and inflow) shall be distributed among all users and user classes of the sewerage facilities in the same manner that operations and maintenance costs are distributed.
(E) Domestic wastewater charges shall be applicable to all sewer system users. Industries with discharges from sanitary conveniences only are considered domestic customers.
(F) The domestic wastewater charge is hereby established at a rate as shown in the town’s fee schedule.
