The recipient agrees that no wastewater generated by development located in the 100-year floodplain, as designated on the map attached to Ordinance 69, shall be transported or treated by the project facilities for a period of 50 years. This restriction does not apply to development which, by its nature, must be located on or adjacent to water (e.g., a marina) or which existed as defined by EPA Region 6 Construction Grants Floodplain Guidelines, rev. January 12, 1982, prior to August 31, 1982.
(Ordinance 69, sec. 27, adopted 9/25/89)
In contingent [sic] with FmHA for use of the facility which requires mandatory use of the facilities.
(1) 
All property adjacent to sewer facilities will be required to tie on within completion of new or added construction (which requires a wastewater system, or has to dispose of wastewater).
(2) 
New customers may be added to the existing sewer lines only upon the payment by the customer for costs of installation plus ten percent (10%).
(3) 
New customers supplied by an existing sewer line requiring creation of a new sewer tap shall pay a sewer tap fee as follows:
(A) 
0' to 5' deep at $350.00;
(B) 
5' to 8' at $30.00 for each additional foot beyond 5';
(C) 
8' and deeper at $50.00 for each additional foot beyond 8';
(D) 
An extra cost of $4.50 for each foot of additional sewer pipeline in excess of 15 linear feet;
(E) 
An additional charge will be added to cover paving repair cost.
(Ordinance 69, sec. 28, adopted 9/25/89; Ordinance 69AA adopted 5/26/98)
(a) 
Monthly rates.
All residential customers with city sewer services will be charged a flat rate of $30.00 per month. All commercial customers will be charged according to average usage for October, November and December at the rate of $3.00 per thousand gallons plus the bond indebtedness charge. All commercial accounts will be charged for sewer regardless of sewer services when they use 10,000 gallons or more of city water. All new commercial accounts will be charged by per month water usage plus the bond indebtedness charge until an average billing can be determined. (If lower than minimum charge, the minimum charge of $30.00 will be billed.)
(b) 
Treatment rate.
The treatment rate is determined by totaling all of the expenses to the sewer department. These expenses would include but not be limited to salaries (actual time charged from time cards), chemicals (operational), vehicles (gas, oil, maintenance and repair), materials and supplies, postage, uniforms, legal and accounting fees, replacement, tools, system maintenance and repair and lab costs. This total is divided by the projected total yearly water usage and multiplied by 1,000. The result is rounded up to the next even cent or even five cents and is the treatment rate per 1,000 gallons.
(c) 
Minimum charge.
(1) 
The minimum charge is determined by dividing the debt payment for that year by the total number of customers. The minimum charge should be larger than the result. The excess received can be set aside for future use in capital improvements. The minimum charge would insure that the debt would be paid even if there were no usage.
(2) 
The treatment rate is multiplied by the customer’s average monthly water usage. This is the treatment charge for that customer. The sum of the treatment charge and minimum charge is the customer’s monthly sewer charge until the rate, minimum charge or the customer’s water usage is changed. The treatment amount is to cover the O&M costs. The minimum charge [is] to service the debt requirements. Each charge and rate should be selected so that each part can be self-supporting.
(3) 
The rates should be reviewed yearly to be certain that all of the sewer system expenses are being covered by the sewer system revenues.
