The city may adopt by resolution reasonable fees for reimbursement
of its costs of setting up and operating the city's pretreatment program.
These fees may include:
A. Fees
for wastewater discharge permit applications including the cost of
processing such applications;
B. Fees
for monitoring, inspection, and surveillance procedures including
the cost of sample collection and analyzing the user's discharge,
and reviewing monitoring reports and certification statements submitted
by users;
C. Fees
for reviewing and responding to accidental discharge procedures and
construction;
E. Fees
to recover administrative and legal costs reasonable and necessary
for the enforcement activity taken by the pretreatment coordinator
to address the user's noncompliance;
F. Other
fees the city may deem necessary to carry out the requirements of
this chapter; and
G. Charges
for industrial users may also be based on the pounds of BOD and suspended
solids and any other applicable waste loadings discharged to the sewer
each billing period determined in accordance with this chapter. Special
charges may be made to reimburse the city for abnormal costs incurred
because of other pollutants in the wastewater. Surcharges for excessive
strength industrial wastewater will be established by resolution.
The most recent version of the surcharges for excessive strength industrial
wastewater will be available at City Hall at the city webpage (
