When at the end of any fiscal year user charges
have been collected in excess of those required to defray construction,
operating, maintenance and replacement expenses, the surplus shall
be applied to reduce user charges for the next fiscal year.
No statement contained within this chapter shall
be construed as prohibiting the collection of additional fees for
initial sewer system connection, sewer expansions or extensions, dedicated
(reserved) transport or treatment capacity in excess of current actual
use or pretreatment of industrial wastes.
Each user shall, not less than once annually,
be notified, in writing, of the computed user charge. The notification
shall clearly identify the amount required for local collection and
that imposed for treatment by the Atlantic County Sewerage Authority.
The Margate Water and Sewer Utility shall, at
least once annually, review and, if necessary, revise this chapter
and associated user charges to ensure that revenues are sufficient
to offset the total costs of operating and maintaining the Margate
City sewer system and to maintain the proportionate distribution of
costs among users and user classes.
