Section 14-141 Basis.
Charges for sewerage service shall be made and billed in compliance with the EPA user charge system approved by the city council by resolution prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this section derives. The user charge system shall result in the calculation of three (3) unit charges: (a) An administrative charge to be calculated based on the administration costs and the number of wastewater customers to be assessed on each connection for which a separate bill is issued; (b) An operation, maintenance, and replacement fee based on the volume of water used by wastewater customers and the total operation, maintenance, and replacement costs incurred by the city to be assessed on the basis of water used per thousand gallons; and (c) A surcharge rate may be applied to all over-strength wastes to be based on the strength and volume of such wastes and the costs of treatment. However, the utility reserves the right to reject over-strength waste, require pretreatment, or limit quantities. If the utility agrees to accept over-strength waste, the surcharge rate shall be calculated based on strength above over-strength limit divided by the over-strength limit, times the prevailing volume rate. (Code 1958, 19-70)
