(A) If the characteristics of the wastewater of any user as determined by the town shall be such as to impose a burden upon the POTW, then an additional charge or surcharge as determined by the Council shall be charged the user responsible before such wastewater may be discharged into the system. This surcharge fee shall be collected on the basis of estimating the surchargeable amount with each monthly billing.
(B) The surcharges to be charged for the treatment of extra strength sewage shall be determined by the following table.
(C) The surcharge shall come into effect should the concentration of BOD5, TSS and ammonia as nitrogen exceed the concentrations listed in the first column. The surcharge shall be charged for each gallon or pound of the particular pollutant in excess of these concentrations.
