NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF OWASSO, OKLAHOMA. Section 1. That Part 17, Utilities Section 17 -110 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Owasso, Oklahoma is hereby amended to read as follows, to wit: Section 17 -110 Sewer Rates A. Sewer Rates. All users of the municipally owned wastewater treatment system shall be charged a minimum of $1.25 per month, plus a charge of $0.92 per 1000 gallons of wastewater flow which shall be determined indirectly by measuring the quantity of water received by the user during three winter months as described below. In the case of users not on a metered basis, the utility superintendent shall establish an estimated water consumption based on a comparison of the non - metered use with a metered user of similar class. Example: A non - metered family of four compared to a typical family of four with a water meter to establish water consumption. B. User Charge Schedule. As the BOD, pollutant concentrations discharged shall be domestic users, users shall be charged on a following formula: Cu = Cb + (Vu)(K)(Ct /Vt) suspended solids, and other approximately equal for all volume basis in accordance with the (Based on Model #1, 40 CFR 35, Appendix B) Symbols and Definitions: Cu = A user's charge per unit of time. Cb = A user's base minimum charge (for debt retirement, billing, administration, etc.) per unit of time. Ct = Total operation, maintenance and replacement (0, M & R) costs per unit of time. Vt = Total volume contribution from all users per unit of time including extraneous flows. Vu = Volume contribution from a user per unit of time. This value shall be determined indirectly by measuring the quantity of water received by the user. During the year there is increased water consumption due to water used for lawn and garden watering. This water does not contribute to sewer system loading and therefore this water should not be considered as a part of Vu. During the winter months (Dec. - Feb.) the quantity of water used by each user is approximately the same as the quantity of wastewater discharged (lawn and garden watering minimized). An average of these three winter months will give a uniform monthly sewer charge for each user and will only need to be computed once each year. K = Correction factor to include extraneous flows in estimated user contributions. C. Excessive Strength Charges. 'For any user, when the ROD exceeds 300 mg /1, the suspended solids exceeds 300 mg /1, or when other pollutant concentrations exceed the range of concentrations of these pllutants in normal domestic sewage, a surcharge shall be added to the basic charge. This surcharge shall be calculated by the following formula: BOOK 5137 PAGE 1645 Cs = (Bc(B) + Sc(S) + Pc(P) Vu (Based on Model No. 2, 40 CFR 35, Appendix B) Symbols and Definitions: Cs = A surcharge for wastewaters of excessive strength. Bc = 0 &M cost for treatment of a unit of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). B = Concentration of BOD from a user above 300 mg /1. Sc = 0 &M for treatment of a unit of suspended solids (SS). S = Concentration of SS from a user above 300 mg /1. Pc = 0 &M cost for treatment of a unit of any pollutant. P = Concentration of any pollutant from a user above a base level to be determined on case —by —case basis. Vu = Volume contribution from a user per unit of time. D. Toxic Pollutants Charges. Each user that discharges any toxic pollutants which cause an increase in the cost of managing the effluent or the sludge of the treatment works shall pay for such increased costs. E. Charges for Extraneous Flows. The costs of operation and maintenance for all flows not directly attributable to users (such as infiltration /inflow) shall be distributed among users on the same basis as operation, maintenance and replacement charges. (See correction factor, K.) F. Billing. Users will be billed on a monthly basis with payment due 10 days after the date of billing. Users on metered water service will be billed on the same notice as water charges and will be designated as a separate entry. Users of the wastewater system not on metered water service will be billed monthly on an individual notice for wastewater service at the rate established by the City Clerk. Users with delinquent accounts of 30 days will be notified in writing by the City Clerk that water and /or wastewater services will be terminated unless the account is paid in full. The City Clerk will utilize the law enforcement agency to assist as required in the control and management of the user charge system. G. Notification. Each user shall be notified at least annually, in conjunction with the regular bill, of the sewer use rate and the portion of the user charges which are attributable to wastewater treatment services. Costs shall be broken down to show the operation, maintenance and replacement costs attributable to that user. H. Records. A financial management system shall be established and maintained by the City of Owasso to document compliance with federal regulations pertaining to the user charge ordinance. The system will account for all revenues generated and expenditures for operation, maintenance and replacement. I. Review and Revisions. The user charge ordinance shall be reviewed at least annually regarding the wastewater contribution of users and user classes, the total costs of operation, maintenance and replacement of the treatment works, and its approved user charge system. The charges for users or user classes shall be revised to accomplish the following: 1. Maintain the proportionate distribution of operation, maintenance and replacement costs among users and user classes. 2. Generate sufficient revenue to pay the total operation, maintenance and replacement costs necessary to the proper operation, maintenance and replacement of the collection and treatment system. 3. Apply excess revenues collected from a class of users to the costs of operation and maintenance attributable to that class for the next year, and the rates shall be adjusted accordingly. 4. Apply excess revenues from the operation (land lease, sludge sales, etc.) to the costs of operation, maintenance and replacement for the next year, and the rates shall be adjusted accordingly. BOOK 5137 PAGE 1646 Section 2. That all ordinances or parts of ordinances thereof in conflict herewith are hereby repealed, provisions consistent herewith remain unaffected hereby. The user charge system outlined herein shall take precedence over any terms, conditions of agreement, or contracts which are inconsistent with the requirements of Section 204(b)(i)(a) of the Clean Water Act and 40CFR (Part 35.2140). Section 3. Emergency. By reason of the loss of revenues from inadequate rates and expense from excessive discharges, the Council declares that an emergency exists, which makes it imperative that this ordinance become effective immediately in order that the public health, welfare and safety might most effectively be provided for.
