ORDINANCE TO AMEND SECTION 32 -57 OF THE CODE
OF ORDINANCES TO ADJUST SEWER RATES FOR
RETAIL CUSTOMERS
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA
FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
Section 32 -57 of the Code of Ordinances is hereby amended to
read as follows:
"Section 32 -47. Rates - -for sewer service.
(a) The charge for sanitary sewer service shall be
determined by the water consumption. For all retail users except
residential users, the monthly sewer charge shall be based on the
monthly water usage billed in the same month. For each retail
residential user, the monthly sewer charge for each billing from
April through the following March shall be the same, and shall be
based on the average monthly water usage billed in the preceding
months of January, February and March, except when the
established average monthly water use is greater than actual
monthly water usage in a billed month, the residential customer
will be billed at the actual usage for that month only.
(b) If a retail water user has a separate meter for
water and such meter is classed as a water -only meter, the water
metered by such separate meter shall not be included in
calculating the monthly sewer charge.
(c) All retail users of the sewer system other than
residential shall be charged for sewer service on the basis of
the total water used; provided, however, that any
commercial /industrial user who uses water as an ingredient in the
manufacturing process of a product shall not be required to pay a
sewer charge based on the water so incorporated into the product.
Any such commercial /industrial user shall be required to show
proof of the amount of water used as an ingredient in the
manufacturing process. The City reserves the right to conduct
such tests as it may deem necessary to determine the amount of
wastewater placed into the sanitary sewer by such user.
(d) Every retail user (residential and
commercial /industrial) of sewer service shall pay a monthly
minimum sewer charge in the amount of $4.64 for each full billing
cycle in which an account` is active. In the first and last
billing cycle in which the account is active, the minimum monthly
bill shall be prorated for the number of days the account is
active; the pro -rata daily charge shall be based on a 30 -day
month. In addition to the minimum charge, each retail user shall
pay a monthly sewer charge of $1.08 for each 100 cubic feet of
water to be billed for sewer charges.
(e) Sewer charges for retail residential customers
with no established average for the month of December, January
and February of the preceding year ( "winter- months - average ")
shall be based on the winter - months - average of all city retail
residential customers or on the actual monthly consumption rate
of the customer, whichever is less until a winter - months - average
is established.
(f) Customers who have a high winter - months - average
due to water leaks within the averaging period may have their
winter - months - average adjusted to their previous year's average
or if no previous year's average was established, to the current
year's City average, by presenting proof of repair to the Utility
Collection Division by May 31 of the calendar year in which the
high average is established.
(g) The above schedule of rates for retail sewer
charges shall apply to retail users located within the city
limits; the rates for sanitary sewer service provided to
individual retail users outside the city limits shall be twice
the rates prescribed above.
(h) The rate for Sheppard Air Force Base sewer service
shall be the same as prescribed above for commercial/ industrial
customers: $4.64 per month for the minimum bill and $1.08 per
100 cubic feet of water consumed. The minimum monthly bill of
$4.64 is the factor "MB" in the contractually agreed formula for
computation of the monthly SAFB sewer bill, and the charge of
$1.08 per 100 cubic feet of water consumed is the factor "CW" in
the same formula."
The above rates shall be effective during the first full
billing cycle after October 1, 1995 and thereafter.
Additional revenue is needed in the Public Utilities
Department beginning October 1, 1995, therefore, this Ordinance
is declared an emergency and shall be effective on passage.
