(A) Purpose. It is the purpose of this section to provide for the payment of fees from dischargers to the Authority’s wastewater disposal system, to compensate the Authority for the administration cost of the pretreatment program established herein.
(1987 Code, § 9-17)
(B) Yearly program fee.
(1) A yearly list of program industries will be drawn up for facilities on a scheduled surveillance inspection and monitoring visits for the entire fiscal year. The discharger will be given a designated number of visits corresponding to the total number of scheduled yearly inspections and monitoring days. A total number of visits will be derived for all dischargers designed as program industries. Each discharger’s designated yearly visits will be decided by the total number of visits to all program industries. The figure derived will be adjusted to correspond to a percentage of the total number of visits. The derived percentage is the discharger’s designated program use.
(2) The yearly projected program cost (cost of the equipped surveillance vehicle operation, cost of in-plant industrial analysis, cost of any outside lab industrial analysis, administrative cost, and any other program cost deemed necessary by the Authority) will be multiplied by the discharger’s designated program use percentage, and the number derived is the yearly fee charged to the discharger.
(1987 Code, § 9-18)
(C) Charges for unscheduled inspection and monitoring visits.
(1) Inspection and monitoring fee: the quotient of the yearly program cost divided by the number of total yearly scheduled discharger visits;
(2) Industrial discharger disclosure form: in the amount given in Appendix B, Table G, of this chapter; and
(3) Flow measurement and/or sampling: the above inspection fee per set-up and tear-down plus equipment rental plus manhole set-up cost.
(1987 Code, § 9-19)
(D) Additional charges. The following additional charges shall be established yearly by the Authority:
(1) Laboratory fees for each parameter tested in both scheduled and unscheduled analysis; and
(2) Rental rates for the use of the flow measuring equipment and the automatic sampling equipment.
(1987 Code, § 9-20)
(E) Revision of charges and fees. Prior to January 1 of each year, the Authority shall submit to the Board of Public Works and Safety a comparison of the calculated yearly program costs, the yearly program dischargers and their designated percentages, the yearly fee charged to the program dischargers, and all other charges associated with the program. The Board may determine whether the current charges and fees are adequate or should be changed by the City Council.
