Su = Amount of SS from industrial user lbs./unit of time.
(b) 
The unit costs applicable to volume, BOD and SS shall be the total of the unit costs from capital investment and from operation and maintenance. The total capital investment costs will be allocated as a percentage to BOD, volume and SS so that the total equals 100% and similar the operation and maintenance costs will be allocated on a percentage basis to volume, COD and SS. The allocations for capital costs may be different than operation and maintenance costs allocations and shall be applied so as to represent the total costs associated with each parameter.
(1995 Code of Ordinances, Title V, Chapter 51, Section 51.17)
(a) 
The city shall adjust charges at least annually to reflect changes in the characteristics of wastewater based on the results of sampling and testing.
(b)

(d) 
The city shall bill the discharger by the month and shall show industrial waste charges as a separate item on the regular bill for water and sewer charges. The discharger shall pay monthly in accordance with practices existing for payment of sewer charges.
(1995 Code of Ordinances, Title V, Chapter 51, Section 51.18)
Volume increases or changes in the characteristics of the waste flow or increased standards set by regulatory authorities may require that wastewater collection, treatment or other disposal facilities of the city be improved, expanded or enlarged in order to treat the waste. The capital investments made by the city will be calculated into the industrial user charges so that the industrial will pay its fair and equitable share of the total costs of the treatment system. If a federal government grant is obtained for waste system improvements, then significant industrial users (as defined by government grant regulations) shall pay a cost recovery charge (in addition to the city's industrial user charge) on that portion of the federal grant applicable to the treatment of the industrial user's waste. The cost recovery charge shall be calculated and applied in accordance with the requirements of the federal government grant.
