13.18.040 Industrial and Commercial Surcharqe
A. Imposition. All persons, firms, corporations, institutions, or organizations
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 13.16.150 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 and 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:
