(Ordinance 75, sec. 14, adopted 3/11/80)
(a) 
Sampling shall be conducted according to customarily accepted methods, reflecting the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and determining the existence of hazards to health, life, limb, and property. (NOTE: The particular analyses involved will determine whether a 24-hour composite sample from all outfalls of a premises is appropriate or whether a grab sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not always, BOD and suspended solids analyses are obtained from 24-hour composites of all outfalls. Where applicable, 16-hour, eight-hour or some other period may be required. Periodic grab samples are used to determine pH.)
(b) 
Examination and analyses of the characteristics of waters and wastes required by this article shall be:
(1) 
Conducted in accordance with the latest edition of “Standard Methods”; and
(2) 
Determined from suitable samples taken at the control manhole provided or other control point authorized by the approving authority.
(c) 
BOD and suspended solids shall be determined from composite sampling, except to detect unauthorized discharges.
(d) 
The city may select an independent firm or laboratory to determine flow, BOD, and suspended solids.
(e)

(Ordinance 75, sec. 15, adopted 3/11/80)
(a) 
Persons making discharges of industrial waste shall pay a charge to cover the cost of collection and treatment.
(b) 
When discharges of industrial waste are approved by the approving authority, the city or its authorized representative shall enter into an agreement or arrangement providing:
(1) 
Terms of acceptance by the city; and
(2) 
Payment by the person making the discharge.
(Ordinance 75, sec. 16, adopted 3/11/80)
(a) 
The city is in the process of securing a loan from the Texas Water Development Board to pay for the local share of the project. This loan must be repaid from revenue generated by the wastewater treatment system, which will be in the form of “user charges.”
(b) 
The capital recovery costs will be distributed to the customers on an equal basis and will constitute the “base charge,” or minimum fee, of the charge schedule. For the first year of operation, the minimum monthly charge per customer will be $13.45.
(c) 
Since there is no industrial waste in the city, the pollutant concentrations discharged by all users are approximately equal; therefore, the user charges for operation and maintenance (O&M) costs will be on a volume basis in accordance with the following equation:
Cu = Ct / Vt × Vu
where:
Cu
=
A user’s charge for O&M per unit of time.
Ct
=
Total O&M costs per unit of time.
Vt
=
Total volume contribution from all users per unit of time.
Vu
=
Volume contribution from a user per unit of time.
(d) 
The volume of sewage per user will in most situations be proportional to the water usage; therefore, the water usage will serve as the means of distributing the O&M costs to the customers. During the first year of operation, the monthly O&M cost will be $1.37 per thousand gallons.
(e) 
The following is the basic user charge schedule, applicable to users with normal domestic sewage of BOD and SS concentrations of 200 for recovering capital and O&M costs:
Base (minimum): $13.45
plus $1.37 per thousand gallons of water used
(f) 
In the event that pollutant concentrations from a user exceed the normal range of strength of normal domestic sewage as defined in the preceding article, a surcharge will be levied which will be computed by the following formula:
Cs = (Bc B + Sc S) Vu
where:
Cs
=
Surcharge for sewage of excessive strength
Bc
=
O&M cost for treatment of a unit of BOD
B
=
Concentration of BOD from a user above a base level of 200 mg/l
Sc
=
O&M cost for treatment of a unit of suspended solids (SS)
S
=
Concentration of SS from a user above a base level of 200 mg/l
Vu
=
Volume contribution from a user per unit of time
(g) 
The city operation and maintenance costs are influenced by three basic elements: (1) Volume, (2) BOD, (3) SS. Volume cost per user is automatically accounted for in the surcharge equation by Vu; therefore, the total O&M surcharge cost will be considered to be due either to BOD or SS. Surcharge rates for the first year of operation will be as follows:
Bc = $3.77 per mg/l per MG per month
Sc = $3.09 per mg/l per MG per month
Example Calculation of Surcharge:
Vu = 100,000 gal. per mo. = 0.10 MG per mo.
Bc = $3.77 per mg/l per MG per mo.
B = 100 mg/l excess (above 200 mg/l)
Sc = $3.09 per mg/l per MG per mo.
S = 0
Cs = (($3.77 × 100) + ($3.09 × 0)) × 0.10 = $37.70 per mo.
(Ordinance 75, sec. 17, adopted 3/11/80)
There are no industrial users of the sewer system in the city. When industrial users of the sewer system are first anticipated, the city will develop an industrial cost recovery system and submit it to the environmental protection agency and the Texas Department of Water Resources for their approval.
