A surcharge will be charged to those <br /> users who exceed the limits identified by EMC 14.08.050 and <br /> 14.08.300 based upon the cost of collection and treatment <br /> of that wastewater. <br /> WHEREAS, The State Department of Ecology will permit the user to discharge <br /> wastewater into the City's sewage collection and treatment system; and <br /> WHEREAS, the City Public Works Director is authorized to allow the discharge <br /> of untreated wastewater into the City's wastewater system which exceeds the <br /> maximum characteristic limits established in EMC 14.08.300 provided the waste- <br /> water discharged does not impair the treatment plant or collection system; and <br /> WHEREAS, those users identified by the Public Works Director as users who may <br /> be discharging wastewater with any characteristics limits in excess of these <br /> established by 14.08.300 shall be monitored per EMC 14.08.330; and <br /> WHEREAS, a representative sample of the wastewater shall be analyzed once per <br /> year and the surcharge will be based on the representative sample taken by <br /> the City and tested by the City lab and an approved independent or state lab; <br /> and <br /> WHEREAS, analysis of any additional samples taken during the course of the <br /> year shall be charged to the user and the surcharge rate will be adjusted <br /> to indicate the most current samples' characteristics; and <br /> WHEREAS, the City Public Works Director finds that those users who discharge <br /> wastewater beyond the limits established by EMC 14.08.300 shall be surcharged <br /> accordingly; and <br /> WHEREAS, the surcharge rate shall be based upon the per cent of the cost of <br /> treatment to the total cost of maintaining and operating the sewage collection <br /> and treatment system; <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, by it resolved by the City Council of the City of Everett that <br /> a surcharge rate is established for wastewater which exceeds the limits set <br /> by EMC 14.08.300 and those users discharging such waste shall be charged per <br /> the surcharge rate as follows: <br /> The surcharge rate for sewer service per month is determined by <br /> (a) cost of collection charge = metered water usage X $4.80 <br /> 900 ft 3 <br /> plus (b) cost of treatment charge = metered water usage (R) <br /> 900 ft 3 <br /> -1- <br />
