<br /> <br />determined by the city and those determined by the industrial user, the values determined <br />by the city shall be used for billing purposes. <br />(2) Determination of user charges for normal domestic strength users. User charges for normal <br />domestic users, except senior citizens and unmetered water users, shall be calculated on a unit <br />charge for each 1,000 gallons. However, under no circumstance will a user be billed less than <br />the minimum charge. Senior citizens shall be charged for the actual metered usage at the unit <br />cost per 1,000 gallons. Unmetered users shall be charged a flat fee calculated from the average <br />domestic usage throughout the community. The user charges for the three classifications of <br />domestic users shall be as follows: <br />a. Metered water users. The per-month billable wastewater volume shall be an average of the <br />metered water usage during the months of November, December, January, February, and <br />March. <br />b. Unmetered water users. The charge shall be a flat rate per household unit. <br />c. Senior citizens. The charge shall be for the actual metered water usage (rounded to 1,000 <br />gallons). <br />(3) Determination of user charges for nondomestic users. <br />a. Sewer service charges for users who discharge wastewater with concentrations greater <br />than normal domestic strength or wastes of unusual character shall be calculated in <br />proportion to the wastewater flow and loading at the treatment plant. No user shall be <br />charged at a rate less than that of normal domestic strength wastewater. <br />b. The measurements of such wastes shall be conducted according to the latest edition of <br />Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, in a manner acceptable <br />to the city, as provided for in division 2 of this article. <br />c. A study of unit costs of collection and treatment processes attributable to flow, BOD, TSS <br />and other significant loading shall be developed for determining the proportionate <br />allocation of costs to flows and loadings for users discharging wastes of greater than <br />normal domestic strength or wastes of unusual character. <br />d. In addition to the charges provided for in this section, the city may impose a surcharge on <br />any industrial user based on some other pollutant loading factor which requires special <br />treatment at the wastewater treatment plant. <br />(Code 1982, § 1302.06) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Page 2 <br />
