(A) The city shall conduct one wastewater treatment system (WTS) surcharge sample per location per calendar year, without cost to the person, industry or company. This sample shall be obtained any time during the calendar year and shall serve as the basis for future WTS surcharges. If a person, industry or company requests, in writing, another WTS sample before the normally scheduled yearly sample by the city, the full cost of the sample (including labor, equipment and analytical costs), shall be payable by the requesting party. After the sample is completed, the new results, higher or lower than the previous sample, shall become the basis for the WTS surcharge.
(B) If a person disagrees with the analysis on which the WTS surcharge is based, he may request, in writing, an additional sampling and analysis which shall be conducted in a manner acceptable to the city. The cost of such additional sampling and analysis shall be borne in full by the requestor.
(C) In the event an analysis of the wastes is not furnished to the city when requested, the WTS surcharge shall be based on a chemical analysis of similar process or other data acceptable to the city and shall continue in effect until such time as an analysis of the wastes is submitted by the company and confirmed by the city.
