§ 94-173. Commercial, institutional and industrial service (Schedule S-2).

(a)

Availability. The S-2 rate schedule is available to all commercial, institutional, industrial and otherwise nonresidential premises connected to the sanitary wastewater system.

(b)

Monthly volumetric charge. The monthly volumetric charge shall be $5.90 per 1,000 gallons of water used. Rate is effective with the November 2016 billing cycle.

(b.1)

Monthly volumetric charge. The monthly volumetric charge shall be $6.15 per 1,000 gallons of water used. Rate is effective with the November 2017 billing cycle.

(c)

Monthly customer charge. In addition to the volumetric charge, customers will be charged $16.15 per month for service. Rate is effective with the November 2016 billing cycle.

(c.1)

Monthly customer charge. In addition to the volumetric charge, customers will be charged $16.15 per month for service. Rate is effective with the November 2017 billing cycle.

(d)

Extra-strength charge. Commercial, institutional and industrial customers whose wastewater strength is greater than the normal domestic wastewater shall pay the commercial, institutional and industrial rate adjusted upward by the amount of the additional cost of treating this higher strength wastewater. The system will determine the average total suspended solids (TSS), five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD ₅ ), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) daily loadings for the average residential user, or in lieu of such a determination will consider the average residential strength wastes to be 200 mg/l BOD ₅ , 200 mg/l TSS and 450 mg/l COD. The system will assess a surcharge for nonresidential users discharging wastes with BOD ₅ , TSS and COD strengths greater than the average residential user. The surcharge will cover the costs of treating such users' above-normal-strength wastes. Surcharge for excess five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD ₅ ), or chemical oxygen demand (COD), whichever is greater, but not both, and total suspended solids (TSS), as follows:

The greater of:

BOD ₅ surcharge = (actual BOD ₅ -200) × $7.23 × no. of gallons/1,000,000 gallons

or

COD surcharge = (actual COD-450) × $3.61 × no. of gallons/1,000,000 gallons

plus

TSS surcharge = (actual TSS -200) × $7.23 × no. of gallons/1,000,000 gallons

Rate is effective with the November 2016 billing cycle.

(d.1)

Extra-strength charge. Commercial, institutional and industrial customers whose wastewater strength is greater than the normal domestic wastewater shall pay the commercial, institutional and industrial rate adjusted upward by the amount of the additional cost of treating this higher strength wastewater. The system will determine the average total suspended solids (TSS), five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD ₅ ), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) daily loadings for the average residential user, or in lieu of such a determination will consider the average residential strength wastes to be 200 mg/l BOD ₅ , 200 mg/l TSS and 450 mg/l COD. The system will assess a surcharge for nonresidential users discharging wastes with BOD ₅ , TSS and COD strengths greater than the average residential user. The surcharge will cover the costs of treating such users' above-normal-strength wastes. Surcharge for excess five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD ₅ ), or chemical oxygen demand (COD), whichever is greater, but not both, and total suspended solids (TSS), as follows:

The greater of:

BOD ₅ surcharge = (actual BOD ₅ -200) × $7.23 × no. of gallons/1,000,000 gallons

or

COD surcharge = (actual COD-450) × $3.61 × no. of gallons/1,000,000 gallons

plus

TSS surcharge = (actual TSS -200) × $7.23 × no. of gallons/1,000,000 gallons

Rate is effective with the November 2017 billing cycle.

(e)

Special wastes. At the option of the system, special wastes may be received for treatment in the system's wastewater treatment facilities. Customer classification and monitoring will be done by the system's environmental compliance pretreatment division. The charges for the treatment and handling of these wastes shall be a permitting charge of $180.00 per month.
