B.
Flow for facilities that have combined uses shall be determined by
the summation of all appropriate projected flow values for each use.
C.
The Boonton Sewer Department recognizes that the table in Subsection A above may not cover all establishments and facilities, and in particular facilities that require an industrial treatment works approval. In the event that a facility is not covered, the applicant shall propose the projected flow based upon operation of similar facilities or best professional judgment. The Department reserves the right to accept, modify or deny the proposed flow values.
D.
Residential sewer rates.
[Added 4-19-2010 by Ord. No. 4-2010[1]]
(2)
Assign sewer service units to existing industrial customers based
on fact-based estimates of the facility's metered water consumption,
including private wells and other non-Town utility water sources and
the amount of water used in the manufacturing process that does not
enter the sewer, which is subtracted from the estimated water consumption.
These estimates must be certified by a professional engineer registered
in the State of New Jersey. Alternatively, the Town may, at any time
and at its sole discretion, set the number of assigned service units
to an existing industrial customer at 66.7% of the customer's highest
annual water consumption during the last five years.
[1]
Editor’s Note: This ordinance also stated that it, and
the revised rates, would be effective and applicable for all water
and sewer services rendered after 1-1-2010.
E.
F.
Sewer rate for customers using private wells or other water systems.
A sewer customer that uses water from sources other than the Town,
including private wells or other water systems that is used inside
the building, may enter the sewer system, or is interconnected with
the water from the Town, must meter, at the owner's expense, each
of the non-Town water sources in accordance with the Town's requirements
with meters specified by or supplied by the Town for a fee. The meters
shall be read by the Town for the purpose of charging sewer charges.
If the customer uses metered water from another public water utility,
the readings of that utility's meter may be used.
[Added 4-19-2010 by Ord. No. 4-2010[3]]

Editor's Note: This ordinance also stated that it, and the
revised rates, would be effective and applicable for all water and
sewer services rendered after 1-1-2010.
G.
Classification of sewer customers. Industrial customers are defined
as commercial establishments with 20% or more of their water used
in a manufacturing process.
[Added 4-19-2010 by Ord. No. 4-2010]
In cases where the character of sewage or industrial waste discharged
from any building or premises is such that it imposes an additional
burden upon the sewerage system above that imposed by the average
sewerage entering the sewerage system, such additional cost necessitated
thereby shall be an additional charge over the rates hereinabove set
forth.
A.
The charges established herein shall be assessed against the property
owners.
B.
Quarterly bills shall be sent out on a monthly basis. The bills are
payable within 15 days after the billing date or shall become a lien
against the property.
C.
Owners of property to which water service is discontinued and the
water meter removed, shall be exempt from assessment of quarterly
charges until such time as the water meter is reinstalled.
