This article establishes a user charge system
and provides for the assessing of charges for the collection, conveyance,
treatment and disposal of sewage from users of public sewers and any
debt incurred thereby (hereinafter called the wastewater treatment
system).
On or after March 13, 1989, charges for the
use of the wastewater treatment system shall be based on the use of
such system.
A. Sewer rent. Except as provided in this chapter, the
sewer rent shall be the total water use.
B. The amount of such sewer rent shall be charged at
a rate of $3 per 100 cubic feet of water used, subject to a minimum
charge of $18 per quarter for all users.
In the event that any user's discharge to the
sewer treatment system is of such a strength, such a volume, at such
a delivery flow rate or otherwise in violation of this chapter, the
sewer rent for such user shall be increased to ensure a proportional
distribution of treatment cost to each user.
The system of sewer rents (user charges) described
herein shall take precedence over any inconsistent agreements.
