(a) Prior to March 1 of each year, the user charges shall be reviewed by the City in order to determine whether or not they are sufficient to defray the fixed charges, debt service costs and annual cost of operation and maintenance of the sewerage system. If the difference between the total annual revenue derived and the total annual cost is sufficient to justify an increase or decrease in the user charges, the City will adjust the rates as required. The purpose of the annual review is also to maintain a proportional user charge system.
(b) Each user is to be notified at least annually, in conjunction with a regular bill, of the rate and that portion of the sewer service charge which is attributable to operation, maintenance and replacement costs of wastewater treatment services, and that portion which is attributable to debt.
