In order that the rates and charges may be equitably adjusted to the service rendered, the city shall have the right to base its charges not only on volume, but also on the strength and character of the sewerage and wastes which it is required to treat. The city shall have the right to measure and determine the strength and content of all sewerage and wastes discharged, either directly or indirectly, into the city’s sanitary sewerage system, in such manner and by such method as it may deem practicable in the light of the constructions and attending circumstances of the case, in order to determine the proper charge.
