The rates of surcharge shall be reviewed and calculated annually in accordance with the federally approved user charge system by the Approving Authority in order to determine whether or not they are sufficient to defray the fixed charges, amortization costs and annual cost of operation as determined from the sewage treatment plant records. If the difference between the revenue derived from the rates of surcharge and the total annual cost is sufficient to justify an increase or decrease in the rates, the Approving Authority shall make the appropriate change. The rates of surcharge shall be as set forth in § 1046.04 of this chapter.
