Devices for measuring the volume of waste discharged may be
required by the Village if this volume cannot otherwise be determined
from the metered water-consumption records. Metering devices for determining
the volume of waste shall be installed, owned, and maintained by the
discharger. A maintenance schedule must be accepted by the Village.
Following approval and installation, such meters may not be removed
without the consent of the Village.
Wastes discharged into the public sewers shall be subject to
periodic inspection and a determination of character and concentration
of said wastes. The sampling may be accomplished either manually or
by the use of mechanical equipment acceptable to the Village. The
use of flow-proportional composite sampling is preferred.
The Village may reassign sewer users into appropriate sewer
service charge classes if wastewater sampling program and other related
information indicate a change of classes is necessary.
No user shall receive free service or pay a sewer user charge
less than the user's proportional share of operation, maintenance,
and replacement (O,M&R) costs.
All users within the sewer service area of the Village shall
be treated equally as to sewer use charges, except that users outside
the Village boundaries shall pay a surcharge equal to 125% of the
total sewer service charge less the sewer user charge.
