Bc
=
O & M cost for treatment of a unit of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)

=
Concentration of suspended solids from a user above a base level (240 mg/l)
Sc
=
O & M cost for treatment of a unit of suspended solids
P
=
Concentration of any pollutant from a user above a base level
Pc
=
O & M cost for treatment of a unit of any pollutant
Vu
=
Volume contribution from a user per unit of time
