13.16.060 Industrial and Commercial Surcharge
A. Imposition. All persons, firms, corporations, institutions, or orgatfizations
discharging wastes into the public sewers shall, if their sewage has a concentration
greater than "normal" concentrations, be considered an industrial discharger and subject
to the requirements of Section 13.16.230 of this Chapter. The amount of surcharge shall
reflect the cost incurred by the City in removing the excess biochemical oxygen demand
(BOD) and suspended solids.
B. Computation. The excess pounds of BOD and suspended solids will be computed
by multiplying the flow volume in million gallons per day (MGD) by the constant 8.345,
and then multiplying the product by the difference between the person's concentrations of
BOD and suspended solids mad the aforementioned "normal" concentrations in parts per
million by weight. This product will then be multiplied by the number of days in the
billing period to determine the surcharge.
C. Rates. The rates of surcharge for each of the constituents mentioned in the
Subsection B. of this section will be at the prevailing rate at the time. The prevailing rate
at the time is as follows:
1. For biochemical oxygen demand:
I Per Pound
$0.142
$0.164
2. For suspended solids:
I Per ound /
