Each year the department and the City Manager or his designee shall consider service charges. These considerations shall be in accordance with the following requirements.
(A) The rates shall cause the distribution of the costs of operation and maintenance of the wastewater system within the city's jurisdiction to each user class in proportion to the user's contribution to the total wastewater loading of the wastewater system. Factors such as strength, volume and delivery flow rate characteristics shall be considered and included as the basis for the user's contribution, to ensure a proportional distribution of operation and maintenance (including replacement) costs to each user's class.
(B) The rates shall be reviewed annually and revised periodically to reflect actual wastewater system operation and maintenance costs.
(C) The rates shall generate sufficient revenue to offset the costs of all wastewater system operation and maintenance.
