(a) The User Charge System Management shall review, annually, the wastewater contribution of users and user classes in order to maintain a proportional distribution of operation and maintenance costs among users and user classes.
(b) The sewer service charges, and the surcharge rates for high strength sewage, noted herein, shall be reviewed by the User Charge System Management annually. If the review indicates that the total operation and maintenance costs of the wastewater treatment works are not being met by the revenue generated through the User Charge System, then, said service charges and/or surcharges shall be adjusted to compensate for any imbalance. If the revenue generated is grossly excessive in proportion to the total operation maintenance costs, then, said service charges and/or surcharges shall be adjusted and brought into line with expected costs for the following year. Excess revenues collected shall be applied in the following year to the costs of operation and maintenance attributable to the users or class of users who were responsible for the generation of the excess revenue.
(c) The U.S. EPA Regional Administration may review the User Charge System and its implementation in order to assure that the Federal Requirements of the System are being continuously met. (Ord. 19-1980. Passed 10-13-80.)
