(A) In order that the rates and charges may be justly and equitably adjusted to the service rendered to industrial users, the town shall base its charges not only on the volume, but also on the strength and character of the stronger-than-normal industrial sewage and wastes which it is required to treat and dispose of. The town shall require the owner or other industrial user to determine the strength and content of all sewage and wastes discharged, either directly or indirectly, into the sanitary sewage system, in a manner and by the method as the town may deem practicable in the light of the conditions and attending circumstances of the case, in order to determine the proper charge. The owner or other user shall furnish a central sampling point available to the town at all times.
(B) Normal domestic waste strength should not exceed a biochemical oxygen demand of 200 milligrams per liter of fluid or suspended solids in excess of 200 milligrams per liter of fluid.
(C) Additional charges for treating stronger-than-normal industrial waste shall be made on the following basis.
(1) Rate surcharge based upon suspended solids. There shall be an additional charge of $0.16 per 1,000 gallons of flow for each 100 milligrams, or fraction thereof, of suspended solids in excess of 200 milligrams per liter of fluid.
(2) Rate surcharge based upon B.O.D. There shall be an additional charge of $0.16 per 1,000 gallons of flow for each 100 milligrams, or fraction thereof, of biochemical oxygen demand in excess of 200 milligrams per liter of fluid.
