18-106 : Wastewater charges and fees.
- Purpose of charges and fees. A schedule of charges and fees shall be adopted by the board of public utilities which will enable it to comply with the revenue requirements of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, PL 92-500. Charges and fees shall be determined in a manner consistent with regulations of the federal grant program to ensure that sufficient revenues are collected to defray the "board's" cost of operating and maintaining adequate wastewater collection and treatment systems and to provide sufficient funds for capital outlay, bond service costs, capital improvements, depreciation, and equitable industrial cost recovery of EPA administered federal grants.
- Classification of users.All users are to be classified by the manager either by assigning each to a "user classification" category according to the principal activity conducted on the user's premises, by individual user analyzation, or by a combination thereof. The purpose of such collective and/or individual classification is to facilitate the regulation of wastewater discharges based on wastewater constituents and characteristics to provide an effective means of source control, and to establish a system of charges and fees which will insure an equitable recovery of the "board's" cost.
- Type of charges and fees.The charges and fees as established in the "board's" schedule of charges and fees, may include, but not limited to:
- User classification charges;
- Fees for monitoring, maintenance, and analysis;
- Fees for permits;
- Surcharge fees; and
- Discharge permit fees.
- Basis for determination of charges.
- Charges and fees may be based upon a minimum basic charge for each premises, computed on the basis or "normal domestic wastewater."
- All unoccupied rental property will be charged a minimum monthly basic sewer service fee during the first year of operation.
- Computation and assessments. The computation of an assessment of surcharges, monitoring charges, maintenance charges and testing or analysis charges will be subject to the appeals procedure provided in the ordinance. (Ord. #02-16-99-1, March 1999)
