[Amended 10-5-2015 by L.L. No. 6-2015]
A.
The Town Board of the Town of Seneca Falls, in an effort to ensure
that the Town remains an attractive place for industrial and other
economic development, adopts the following policy of a discounted
sewer rate for high-volume water users.
B.
This recommendation is based upon the following:
(1)
Such bulk users may be eligible to apply for a permit to discharge
into the canal system and more favorable rates would deter consideration
of such an alternative.
(2)
Experience in processing wastewater has indicated that, once processing
costs are met at certain volume of treatment, treatment in excess
of such volume involves negligible further cost.
(3)
The existence of a discounted sewer rate for high-volume users, which
would be industrial users, would be an attractive incentive for industry
and other economic development to locate or remain in this area.
A discount of 50% on their applicable sewer rates will apply to all users of the Town of Seneca Falls sewer system who use in excess of 100,000 cubic feet of water per month. This discount does not apply to significant industrial users, as defined in § 230-5 of this Code.
