The user charge ordinance shall be reviewed not less often than every year regarding the wastewater contribution of users and user classes, the total costs of the operation and maintenance and replacement of the treatment works, and its approved user charge. The charges for users or user classes shall be revised to accomplish the following:
(A) Maintain the proportionate distribution of operation and maintenance costs among users and user classes;
(B) Generate sufficient revenue to pay the total costs necessary to the proper operation and maintenance (including replacement) of the treatment works and;
(C) Apply excess revenues collected from a class of users to the costs of operation and maintenance attributable to that class for the next year, and the rates shall be adjusted accordingly.
(D) Revenues from the project (e.g. sale of treatment related by-product; lease of the land; sale of crops grown on the land purchased under the loan agreement) shall be used to offset the cost for the OM&R. The city shall proportionately reduce all user charges.
