is the responsibility of the user to immediately notify the POTW -18- of the incident The notification shall include location of discharge, type of waste, concentration, volume, and corrective actions Witnin 5 working days following an accidental discharge, the. user shall subnit to the Director a detailed written report describing the cause of the dis- charge and the measures to be taken by the

imposod by this ordinance or other applicable 1dW Failure to report accidental discharges may, in addition to any other remedies , result in the revocation of the discharger' s wastewater discharge permit If the POTW is fined by the Approval Authority for violation of the POTW'rs NPDES Permit or violation of Water Quality Standards as the result of a spill or intentional slug discnarge of a

following year (b) The Director shall Dase his recommendation on the actual cost of serving each class of user , including in his consideration, collection, treatment, administration, billing, and capital improvement costs (c) The rate for Categories A and B shall be a flat rate representing a typical user in these categories as determined from the analysis mentioned above (d) The rate for Category C shall be based on the winter quarter water use In the event water service was not received during such period, thr minimum charge shall apply If any metered customer connects -21- to the POTW or makes a change in the use of his premises or substantially expands such premises, the Director shall make an estimate of the water consumption on said premises during an average winter month, based upon a count of plumbing fixtures, consumption of similar customers or other information relevant to such determination and such estimate, when made, shall be the basis for the sewer service charge until the actual winter water user for the premises can be determined (e) The rate for Category D shall be based upon the follow- ing formula Cu = VuC Where Cu = Users charge per billing period Vu = Volume of water user per billing period C = A charge per unit volume of water used based upon the cost of service per unit volume of normal , domestic strength wastewater established by the City Council upon the recommendation of the Direc- tor (f) The rate for Category G shall be the applicable rate for users of similar categories inside the City limits In addition, users in Category G shall pay a "capital investment recovery" charge equal to one-half of the month charge (g) The rate for Category H shall be determined by negotia- tion with the party concerned However, the rate shall be based upon cost of service and shall not be less than that of in-city users Category H customers shall have to collect and pay to the City any surcharges and cost recovery charges that would apply if the customer were connected directly to the City system (h) The users in Category E, F, and G shall be billed upon the basis of metered water consumption except where they can show to the satisfaction of the Director that not all of the water going through the meter is returned to the wastewater system but is consumed in process or otherwise diverted A metering device of a type, and installed in a manner approved by the Director, may be used to measure the quantity of wastewater returned to the public sewer for billing purposes Any such device shall be installed and maintained at the users expense ( i ) Strength of wastewater used in the calculation of charges for Category E shall be those as established in Schedule C (j) Strength of wastewater used in the calculation of charges for Category F shall be those as established in Schedule C unless established pursuant to the monitoring provisions of the industrial waste- water discharge permit -22- Schedule B 3 The applicable fees and charges shall be set forth in et Classification of Users The users of the P01W may be divided into various classifica- tions, including but not limited to single dwelling, duplex, multiple dwelling and nonresidential Additional classifications may be established by the City for each non-residential user class Each user shall be classed into one of the following categories and charged at the applicable rate 1 Category A--Single family residential user (Either flat rate or metered dater use ) 2 Category B--Duplex (two family) residential user (Eitner flat rate or metered water use ) 3 Category C-41ultiple-family residential user (More tnan two living units ) 4 Category D--Minor non-residential user A minor nonresi- dential user is a user who discharges only wastes of a type and strength normally discharged by private residences All non-residential users not subject to the provision of Categories E and F shall be classed as minor non-residential users, Category D 5 Category E--Intermediate non-residential users An inter- mediate non-residential user is a user listed in Divisions A, B, D, E, and I of the SIC Manual who discharges domestic typc wastes with a strengtn in excess of any of the following parameters COD greater than 300 mg/1 5-Day BUD greater than 200 mg/1 TSS concentration greater than 250 mg/1 6 Category F--All users who have been issued industrial wastewater discharge permits (major non-residential ) 7 Category G--Users outside the City limits 8 Category H--Special Users in this category shall include those with whom the City has negotiated agreements to provide wastewater collection and/or treatment Users in this category may be required to obtain an industrial wastewater discharge permit -23- d Surcharges 1 Users shall be subject to a surcharge for excessive BOD, -COD, and TSS, as provided in Schedule C, and for service outside City boundaries 2 The base rate for Categories E and F shall be determined by using the same formula as for Categories C and D However, in addition to the base rate, intermediate and major non-residential users shall pay a surcharge for wastewaters of excessive strength The Director shall , based upon the amenability of the discharge to testing, select one of the follow- ing formulas to be utilized in establishing the surcharge (a) Cs = Vu [Bc(B) + Sc(S)] or (b) Cs = Vu [CODc(COD) + Sc(S)] Cs = User' s surcharge for wastewaters of excessive strength per billing period Vu = Volume of water used per billing period Bc = Cost of service for treatment of a unit of BOD B = Concentration of BOD from a user in excess of 200 mg/1 Sc = Cost of service for treatment of a unit of TSS S = Concentration of TSS from a user in excess of 250 mg/1 CODc = Cost of service for treatment of a unit of COD COD = Concentration of COD from a user in excess of 300 mg/1 3 The average concentration values for various categories are listed in Schedule C The Director shall determine values for other categories as needed, and shall determine the appropriate category for individual users who may request a change in category and shall submit good and sufficient evidence to support such change If the Director finds that the evidence submitted supports the requested change, he shall thereupon effect such change -24- 'b Connection F,es 1 Applicants desiring to connect to the POTW shall pay to the city,
