POTW are hereby established for the purpose of recovering the cost
of construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair, operation and
replacement of the system. Such charges shall be made in accordance
with the provisions hereinafter set forth and shall be made against
all users of the system.
Rates and charges for sewage disposal service furnished by the
system shall be charged to all persons or entities within or without
the City limits using the system. Such charges shall reflect the proportionate
costs of providing the service within the City limits. For those users
of the system outside the City limits, charges shall be based on the
proportionate actually incurred costs to provide service to the users
within the governmental unit in which they reside. Each unit of government
customer class in which users receive treatment services from the
system shall adopt a system of user charges in accordance with the
EPA regulations and shall incorporate such user charge system in their
appropriate ordinances or resolutions.
For the purposes of determining user charges, three user classes
are established: domestic, commercial and industrial.
The charges herein established shall be based upon the water
consumption of the user's premises, including water from public
and private supplies, as determined by this Part 2 and the standards,
rules and regulations promulgated pursuant hereto, or at the election
of the user upon the actual amount of sewage discharge into the system.
However, a monthly service charge shall be based upon the size of
