§ 60-3. Sewer charges for nonresident users.

(a)

Charges. There are hereby established charges against every person, partnership, corporation, association, and other entity outside the city limits having a connection with the city's sanitary sewer system or discharging sewage, industrial waste, water or other liquids into the city's sewer system. All charges billed shall be prorated per day during the billing period. Such charges are to be the sum of service charges and volume charges to be computed and charged as follows:

(1)

Metered connections with municipalities and political subdivisions. Bulk flows through a metered interconnection with a municipality or other political subdivision shall be charged and pay a rate of $3.34 per 100 cubic feet (ccf), or portion thereof, with no service charges.

(2)

Unmetered connections with municipalities and other political subdivisions. Bulk flows through an unmetered interconnection with a municipality or other political subdivision shall be charged and pay a rate of $4.97 per 100 cubic feet (ccf), or portion thereof, of actual water consumption for all residential, commercial and industrial customers, and shall also pay a service charge of $14.40 per month for each such customer.

(3)

Unmetered connections with municipalities and other political subdivisions; no water consumption records. Where actual water consumption records are not available, bulk flows from a municipality or political subdivision through an unmetered interconnection shall pay a sewer charge of $49.77 per month per dwelling unit or equivalent dwelling unit.

(4)

Individual non-resident customers billed directly by the city. Individual non-resident customers billed directly by the city shall pay a service charge of $31.80 per month, plus a volume charge of $12.60 per 100 cubic feet (ccf), or portion thereof.

(5)

Accounts with high concentration discharges. High concentration discharges are those in which the BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), SS (suspended solids), and/or O&G (oil and grease) concentrations are in excess of the maximum concentration of these components in normal sewage as defined in article IV of this chapter. In addition to other sewer service and volume charges, a surcharge, as established by the formulae defined and set forth in article IV of this chapter, shall be levied on high concentration discharges received from any non-resident user.

For surcharge rate formulae calculation purposes, the following rates are hereby established:

RB (surcharge per pound of excess BOD) = $0.446

RS (surcharge per pound of excess SS) = $0.220

RG (surcharge per pound of excess O&G) = $0.191

The director is hereby authorized to develop various groups and classes to facilitate the equitable distribution of surcharge fees among like groups of customers.

(b)

Definition. "Month" or "monthly," as used in this section shall refer to a time period of approximately 30 days.

(c)

Applicability. This section may not be applicable where arrangements for sewer service and sewer service charges are established by an existing or future contract or cooperative agreement.
