subject to a monthly sewage surcharge payable to the City's utility collections division.
The surcharge shall be in addition to monthly sewer service charges. Monthly
surcharges shall stay in effect until such time as the industrial user demonstrates that it
has reduced the abnormality. The reduction must be attained in accordance with
section 106 -822 and subdivision III, division 4 of Article VII. The surcharge shall be
based on data determined by approved methods of the Environmental Protection
Agency (see 40 CFR 136). This data shall be derived from all sampling done at least in
the previous six -month period, but this period may be longer if deemed appropriate by
the Control Authority. The Control Authority reserves the right to either increase or
decrease the surcharge at any time to reflect additional data from sampling.
(c) The surcharge for abnormal BOD shall be $0.075 per 100 cubic feet of
water usage for each unit or fraction of 300 mg /l in excess of 300 mg /l. Any discharge
of water or wastewater with a concentration of BOD more than five times the average
24 -hour concentration of normal operations of the industrial user shall be prohibited
without the prior notification and specific permission of the Control Authority.
(d) The surcharge for abnormal TSS shall be $0.075 per 100 cubic feet of
water usage for each unit or fraction of 300 mg /I in excess of 300 mg /l. Any discharge
of water or wastewater with a concentration of TSS more than five times the average
24 -hour concentration of normal operations of the industrial user shall be prohibited
without the prior notification and specific permission of the Control Authority.

cubic feet of water usage for each unit or fraction of 200 mg /I in excess of 100 mg /I.

recommend to the city council adjustments as necessary to reflect true costs to the city.
