• <br /> Section 4: Effective January 1, 2006, and thereafter, service charges for City of <br /> Everett surface water management services are hereby assessed on all utility customers in <br /> Everett not being billed for sewer service as follows: <br /> A. Single family residence: $10.50 per month <br /> (The monthly charge includes the current state utility tax). <br /> B. For other than single family residence (multiple family residence, commercial, and <br /> industrial users, etc.). The rate shall be computed in accordance with the following <br /> formula: <br /> Surface Water service charge per month $1.167 per 100 cubic feet of metered <br /> water consumption. <br /> (The monthly charge includes the current state utility tax). <br /> The minimum monthly charge regardless of usage shall be $10.50 per month. <br /> Section 5: Where the use of water is such that a portion of all the water delivered to the <br /> customer does not discharge into a City sewer due to commercial or industrial use, such <br /> as loss by evaporation or any other cause or use in manufactured products, such as ice, <br /> canned goods, beverages and the like, no sewer service charge shall be made because of <br /> water so used or lost; provided however, the water user shall provide proof as to the <br /> amount of sewage discharge and/or install a meter or other measuring device approved by <br /> the City Engineer to determine either the amount of sewage discharge or the amount of <br /> water so used or lost. <br /> Section 6: Where a non-residential metered water customer can demonstrate that its <br /> consumption of water is now and will be substantially in excess of surface water impact, <br /> the Public Works Director is authorized to adjust the charges for water quality protection <br /> and enhancement to adequately reflect any excessive disparity. The burden of proof shall <br /> be on the applicant for any adjustment and adjustment shall not be retroactive. The <br /> Public Works Director shall develop criteria and procedures for such review. <br /> Section 7: The City of Everett will review the user charges at least annually and revise <br /> the rates as necessary to ensure that adequate revenues are generated to pay the costs of <br /> operation and maintenance including replacement and that the system continues to <br /> provide for proportional distribution of costs of operation and maintenance including <br /> replacement among users. <br /> 3 <br />
