§ 78-90. Calculation of charges.

(a)

Industrial users subject to industrial cost recovery charges must pay a charge to the city which is the user's share of the federal funds received under U.S. EPA PL-92-500. Industrial cost recovery charges shall be based on the characteristics of the processed waste which the user discharges to the city's treatment works, and the processed waste characteristics which shall be used to determine a user's share are flow and normal sewage as defined in section 78-86.

(b)

The industrial cost recovery charges shall recover all federal funds received under U.S. EPA PL-92-500. The annual cost recovery charge shall be calculated as follows:

(1)

Flow. Gallons per day (gpd) minus nonprocessed waste multiplied by $1.32.

(2)

BOD (biochemical oxygen demand). Pounds per day (ppd) minus nonprocessed waste multiplied by $55.43.

(3)

Total suspended solids. Pounds per day (ppd) minus nonprocessed waste multiplied by $65.49.

(4)

Total nitrogen as N. Pounds per day (ppd) minus nonprocessed waste multiplied by $383.71.

(5)

Total phosphorus as P. Pounds per day (ppd) minus nonprocessed waste multiplied by $496.06.

(6)

Total charge. The total of subsections (b)(1) through (b)(5) of this section equals the total industrial cost recovery charge. This figure shall be divided by 30 years to determine the annual industrial cost recovery charge.
