All persons discharging or depositing wastes into the public sewers
shall pay a sewer service charge based upon water consumption, which charge
shall be collected as a sewer rent.
All persons discharging or depositing wastes with concentrations in
excess of the pollutant concentrations in normal sewage shall pay a surcharge.
The total sewer service charge, which shall be called the "user charge",
is comprised of two parts, as follows:
|
UC(t) = UC(n) + UC(an)

from discharger
|

A.
|
If any difference of terms in the equation above is negative, then that
portion of the equation shall not be used, that is, the difference shall be
set to zero when it is negative.
|
B.

All averages are arithmetic averages determined from available data
during the billing period.

The service area of the JMIPCF may be segmented to assist in a fair
distribution of user charges, especially if there is a pump station serving
a segment.
The volume of flow to be used in computing sewer service charges and
abnormal sewage surcharges shall be based upon metered water consumption as
shown on the records of meter readings maintained by the Village of Albion
Water Department. In the event that a person discharging wastes into the JMIPCF
produces evidence, to the Superintendent, demonstrating that a substantial
portion of the total amount of metered water does not reach the JMIPCF, then
the Superintendent shall either establish a percentage of the total metered
water to be used as a basis for such computations or direct the installation
of appropriate flow measuring (and totalizing) devices to measure and record
the actual amount of flow into the JMIPCF. In the event that a person discharging
wastes into the JMIPCF procures all or part of his/her water supply from unmetered
sources, the Superintendent shall either direct the installation of water
meters on the other sources of water supply or direct the installation of
appropriate flow measuring devices to measure and record the actual amount
of flow into the JMIPCF. Any water meters and/or flow measuring devices installed
pursuant to this section shall be of a type and design acceptable to the Superintendent
and shall be installed, maintained and periodically tested as required by
the Superintendent, at the owner's expense. All such meters and/or flow
measuring devices shall be subject to periodic inspection, testing and reading
by the Superintendent. Any person discharging wastes into the JMIPCF may install
a flow measuring device at his/her option, of the type, design, installation
and maintenance standards of the Superintendent, at the owner's expense.
The billing period shall be quarterly for industrial and nonindustrial
users.
The additional charges and fees associated with the operation of the
pretreatment program shall be assessed the user, and include:
A. Reimbursement of costs of setting up and operating the
pretreatment program.
C. Monitoring, inspections and surveillance procedures.
D. Costs of equipment and supplies.
E. Reviewing accidental discharge procedures.
F. Construction inspections.
H. Application for consistent removal status as outlined
in 40 CFR 403.
I. Other reasonable expenses to carry out the program to
satisfy the requirements of this chapter, the NYSDEC and the federal government.
The Village of Albion may institute an equitable procedure for recovering
the costs of any capital improvements of those parts of the JMIPCF which collect,
pump, treat and dispose of industrial wastewaters from those persons discharging
such wastewaters into the JMIPCF.
Provisions of Article
XI of this chapter relating to the collection of penalties shall apply to the collection of sewer service charges and abnormal sewage service surcharges, unless where otherwise provided by application of the Sewer Rent Law by Village of Albion.
The JMIPCF shall be operated on the basis of a fiscal year commencing
on the first day of June and ending on the 31st day of May.
The Village of Albion Board shall have the authority to impose impact
fees on new development, which development may:
A. Cause enlargement of the service area of the JMIPCF.
B. Cause increased hydraulic and/or treatment demands on
the JMIPCF.
Revenues derived from user charges and associated penalties, and impact
fees, shall be credited to a special fund. Moneys in this fund shall be used
exclusively for the following functions:
A. For the payment of the operation and maintenance, including
repair and replacement costs of the Village of Albion JMIPCF.
B. For the discovery and correction of inflow and infiltration.
C. For the payment of interest on and the amortization of
or payment of indebtedness which has been or shall be incurred for the construction
or extension of the Village of Albion JMIPCF.
D. For the extension, enlargement, replacement of and/or
additions to the Village of Albion JMIPCF, including any necessary appurtenances.
