(a) Rates for sewer service charges and user charges are based on the metered consumption of water. All users discharging waste to the wastewater collection system shall be billed for wastewater treatment services as per the most current Fee Ordinance.
(1) Annual Review of Charges. The sewer service charge and user charges shall be reviewed annually by the City in order to determine whether or not they are sufficient to defray the fixed charges, amortization costs and annual cost of operations and maintenance of the wastewater system. If the difference between the total annual revenue derived and the total annual cost is sufficient to justify an increase or decrease in the sewer service charge or user charges, the City will adjust the rates as required. The purpose of the annual review is also to maintain a proportional user charge and industrial cost recovery system.
(2) Late payment Charges. All users will be billed on the first of the month for their sewer service. Bills for sewer service that are not paid by the 18th of the month shall be subject to a penalty as per the current Fee Ordinance.
(b) Sewer service shall be terminated by terminating water service.
