A. Imposition. All persons, firms, corporations, institutions, or organizations discharging
wastes into the public sewers shall, if their sewage has a concentration greater than "nom1al"
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 thc constant 8.345, and then
multiplying the product by the difference between the person's concentrations of BOD and
suspended solids and the aforementioned "nom1al" 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. Ratcs. 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:
