Any user which discharges any toxic pollutants which cause an increase in the cost of managing the effluent or the sludge from the City's treatment works, or any user which discharges any substance which singly or by interaction with other substances causes identifiable increases in the cost of operation, maintenance, or replacement of the treatment works, shall pay for such increased costs. The charge to each such user shall be as determined by the Director of Public Works and approved by the City Council by resolution. -5- l/ MICRof ;LVED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAP[ DS- DES ROI RCS Sec. 6. The user charge rates established in this article apply to all users, regardless of their location, of the City's treatment works. Sec. 7. Water not discharged into system. If any user of water consumes water for any purpose which does not cause discharge into the sanitary sewer system, and if approved by the City and as established by a separate water meter installed and maintained by such user, the consumption of such water can be determined, no charge shall be made on the basis of water so supplied. Residential contributors shall not be allowed this option, unless approved by the Finance Department. Sec. 8. Water discharged into system from private source. If any person shall discharge water into the City sanitary sewer system from private wells or other sources other than the City water system, the City shall have the right to install a meter at the owner's expense to measure such flow or to use whatever means are satisfactory to the owner and the City to measure such flow for the purpose of determining sewage treatment charges.

Any payment not received within fifteen days after the billing is made shall be delinquent. Sec. 2. In the event that a user fails to pay his bill for sewage treatment system service after thirty days, service may be discontinued, following due notice, or such charges may be certified by the City Council and assessed against the property connected with the sewage disposal system and forwarded to the County Auditor for collection in the same manner as a property tax. ARTICLE VI Sec. 1. The City shall review the user charge system at least every two years and revise user charge rates as necessary to ensure that the system generates adequate revenues to pay the costs of operation and maintenance including replacement, payment of principal and interest and the bond and interest reserve fund, and that the system continues to provide for the proportional distribution of operation and maintenance including replacement costs among users and user classes. Before any ordinance is enacted to fix rates to be charged under this division, a public hearing on the proposed change shall be held by the City Council. Seca 2. The City will notify each user at least annually, in conjunction with regular bill, of the rate being charged for operation and maintenance including replacement and the rate being charged for sewer bond debt service for the treatment works.

The unit costs established in this appendix are based on estimates of expenses and loadings. The actual expenses and loadings that occur may differ from these estimates and will change as time passes. Therefore, the unit costs must be reestablished whenever necessary to reflect actual expenses and loadings. Once the new water pollution control plant is in operation, the expenses and loadings can be determined from operating records and the unit costs can be adjusted based on these figures. 1.
