[Amended 3-2-2010 by Ord.
No. 202-2010]
Sewer charges are based on actual current year water consumption
as measured by water meters which are read four times per year. The
sewer charges will consist of a "minimum sewer rate" for the 5,000
gallon allowance of water consumed in each billing period and a separate
"excess sewer rate" for each 1,000 gallons of water consumed over
the 5,000-gallon allowance for each billing period. All gallons of
water consumed above the 5,000-gallon allowance will be deemed excess
consumption and will be billed at the excess sewer rate.

The minimum sewer rate is $71.40. Each utility customer will
be billed the minimum sewer rate for each billing period. The minimum
sewer rate is the same for all classes or types of utility customers.
