If another municipality contributes wastewater to the POTW, the City shall enter into an intermunicipal agreement with the contributing municipality. If a user located outside the City contributes wastewater to the POTW, the City may enter into an intermunicipal agreement with the municipality in which the out-of-City user is located addressing the out-of-City use. Alternatively, and upon authorization of the Common Council, the City may enter into an agreement directly with the out-of-City user; in that event, the requirements of Subsections B and C of this § 389-44 shall be addressed as applicable within such agreement.
[Amended 11-21-2017]

The requirement shall specify that such ordinance and limits must be revised as necessary to reflect changes made to this chapter 389 or local limits;
(2)
A requirement for the contributing municipality to submit a revised

A.
The rates for out-of-City users of the City's sewage facilities
shall be set annually during the budget process and approved by the
Common Council. City and out-of-City rates may be the same. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Common Council, in its discretion and at times
that may not necessarily coincide with the annual budget process,
shall have the power to charge different rates for out-of-City users
(whether higher or lower than City rates) based on such factors as
the Common Council may deem relevant and appropriate. The sewer users
shall be billed at the same times and concurrently with the water
billing.

and $10 for business and industrial users.
The City Treasurer be and is hereby authorized, empowered and
directed to bill the users of City sewage facilities outside the corporate
limits of the City in the amounts and in the manner set forth in this
chapter.
