(A) 
Variances. The Director may, upon good cause being shown, grant variances from any of the provisions of this chapter and may reduce or eliminate any of the charges and/or fees referred to herein upon the finding that unusual circumstances exist which would result in undue hardship or unfairness to the person or where the Director finds that it would be in the best interests of the city to waive any part or all of such charges and/or fees.
(B) 
Connection credits. The Director, in order to encourage the use of the public sewer instead of septic tanks and in order to facilitate connections to city facilities as fairly as possible for all users, may allow a credit towards the sewer service charge up to the amount of such fee in those instances where the future user is faced with abnormal or excessive additional costs either in construction of the local collector line or for payment of reimbursement for such lines.
