There is established a minimum charge and a basic user rate for the use of and for service supplied by the wastewater facilities of the city to be applied separately to single metered or multiple unit premises served:
(A) A minimum charge of $8.05 per month shall be applied to all single metered users. The minimum charge shall allow the use of 165 cubic feet per month, as measured by the water meter.
(B) A basic user rate of $2.15 per 100 cubic feet in excess of the first 165 cubic feet per month shall be applied to all single metered users of the sewer service. The meter reading shall be to the nearest cubic foot of water used.
(C) A minimum charge of $8.05 shall be applied to each unit in a multiple unit user which is served through a single meter. The minimum charge shall allow the use of 165 cubic feet per unit per month. For example, the calculation for the minimum charge for a four-unit apartment building is as follows: $8.05/unit x 4 units = $32.20.
(D) (1) All usage in excess of 165 cubic feet per unit in a multiple unit user per month as measured by the water meter shall be billed at the rate of $2.15 per 100 cubic feet. The meter reading shall be to the nearest cubic foot of water used. For example, the usage in excess of 165 cubic feet per unit is calculated as follows for a four-unit apartment building:
[Usage in cubic feet - (165 cubic feet/unit x 4 units)] x $2.15/100 cubic feet.
(2) If the month’s usage is less than 165 feet per unit then only the minimum charge shall apply.
(E) All nonmetered residential users of the wastewater facilities shall pay a minimum flat monthly charge of $58.30 to cover the cost of the minimum debt service charge, debt service rate charge of $4.50 per 100 cubic feet, the minimum service charge and the basic user rate of $2.15 per 100 cubic feet. The flat rate charge shall allow a maximum of 665 cubic feet as follows:
(1) Minimum debt service charge $17.00 per month;
(2) Debt service to 665 cubic feet at
$4.50 per 100 cubic feet
over minimum allowance of
165 cubic feet per month $22.50 per month;
(3) Minimum basic service charge $8.05 per month;
(4) Basic service to 665 cubic feet
at $2.15 per 100 cubic feet over
minimum allowance of 165 cubic
feet per month $10.75 per month;
(5) Total flat rate $58,30 per month.
(F) Commencing on October 1, 2015, and continuing until May 1, 2025, the basic user rate shall be increased annually by $0.50 in the following manner:
Period | Minimum Charge for 165 Cubic Feet per Month | Basic User Rate per 100 Cubic Feet in Excess 165 Cubic Feet per Month | Minimum Flat Monthly Charge for Non-Metered Residential Users (Allows for 665 Cubic Feet) |
Period | Minimum Charge for 165 Cubic Feet per Month | Basic User Rate per 100 Cubic Feet in Excess 165 Cubic Feet per Month | Minimum Flat Monthly Charge for Non-Metered Residential Users (Allows for 665 Cubic Feet) |
