(A) The sewer service charge shall be calculated based on the volume of wastewater discharged directly or indirectly into the POTW system and shall be measured by the water used by each sewer user as shown by the water meter readings. The sewer service charge for users of the city sewerage system are shown in the Appendix.
(B) The sewer service charge will be audited annually by the City Council to assure that the system is and will continue to be self sufficient and that sufficient revenue is being generated from each user class in proper proportions.
(C) The sewer service charge herein assessed shall be in addition to the charge made for water.
(D) The users whose entire water usage is not disposed of through the POTW system may apply for and be allowed a credit on their sewer bill for water metered at an external point beyond their water meter that does not enter the POTW system. A flow meter shall be installed on the external water usage to record the amount of sewer service credit.
(E) Where a private water supply is used by a user, the authority may require a meter be installed, at the user's expense, on that source to determine the sewer service charge, or may at its option charge a flat rate per month for sewer service as shown in the Appendix.
