§ 86-239. Industrial and commercial charges for other than domestic wastewater.  


Latest version.
  • Charges for wastewater other than domestic wastewater shall be based on flow, BOD, suspended solids, phosphorus and such other constituents which affect the cost of collection and treatment. All persons discharging wastes into the wastewater works are subject to a surcharge, in addition to any other wastewater service charge, if their wastewater has a concentration greater than domestic wastewater concentrations. The volume of flow used for computing waste surcharges shall be the metered water consumption, or the actual volume of waste as determined by an industrial waste metering installation. The amount of surcharge shall reflect the cost incurred by the utility in removing BOD, suspended solids, phosphorus, and other pertinent constituents. The surcharge shall be computed on the basis of Model No. 2 contained on page 5270 of the Federal Register, Volume 39, No. 29, February 11, 1974.
