SEWER SERVICE CHARGES
(A) The purpose of this subchapter shall be to generate sufficient revenue to pay all costs for the operation and maintenance of the complete wastewater system. The costs shall be distributed to all users of the wastewater system in proportion to each user’s hydraulic contribution to the total loading of the treatment works for residential users contributing domestic strength waste defined in §§ 9-2B-3 and 9-2B-4.
(Prior Code, § 9-2B-1)
(A) The town, or its engineer, shall determine the total annual costs of operation and maintenance or the of sewerage system which are necessary to maintain the capacity and performance, during the service life of the treatment works, for which such works were designed and constructed.
(B) The total annual cost of operation and maintenance shall include but need not be limited to labor, repairs, equipment replacement, maintenance, necessary modifications, power, sampling, laboratory tests, and a reasonable contingency fund.
(Prior Code, § 9-2B-2)
(A) The town, or its engineer, shall determine average user’s average daily volume of wastewater, which has been discharged to the wastewater system, which shall then be divided by the average daily volume of all wastewater discharged to the wastewater system, to determine each user’s volume contribution percentage.
(B) The amount used as the total average daily volume of wastewater shall exclude infiltration and inflow. Residential users contributing domestic strength waste will be assessed charges based on hydraulic loading only.
(Prior Code, § 9-2B-3)
(A) The town, or its engineer, will determine the average suspended solids (SS) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) daily loadings for the average residential users. The town will assess a surcharge rate for all nonresidential users discharging wastes with BOD and SS strengths greater than the average residential user.
(B) Such users will be assessed a surcharge sufficient to cover the costs of treating such user’s above normal strength wastes. Normal strength domestic wastes are considered to be 180 ppm BOD and 240 ppm SS. The surcharge rate structure for such above normal strength waste dischargers is contained in Appendix A of Ord. 229, on file in the office of the Town Clerk-Treasurer.
(Prior Code, § 9-2B-4)
(A) Each nonresidential user’s wastewater treatment cost contributions as determined in §§ 9-2B-3 and 9-2B-4 shall be added together to determine such user’s annual wastewater service charge. Residential users will be considered to be one class of user and an equitable service charge will be determined for each user based upon an estimate of the total wastewater contribution of this class of user.
(B) The governing body may classify industrial, business, commercial, and other nonresidential establishments as a residential user; provided, that the wastes from these establishments are equivalent to the wastes from the average residential users with respect to volume, suspended solids, and BOD. Each user’s wastewater treatment cost contribution will be assessed in accordance with the rate schedule contained in Appendix A of Ord. 229, on file in the office of the Town Clerk-Treasurer.
(Prior Code, § 9-2B-5)
The town shall submit a quarterly statement to the user for the user’s monthly wastewater service charge to be included with the monthly water utility billing. Should any user fail to pay the user wastewater service charge within six months of the due date, the town may stop the wastewater service to the property.
(Prior Code, § 9-2B-6)
