§ 18-114. Cost recovery for treatment of significant industrial wastes.

(a)

In addition to the charges provided for in article II, a strong waste surcharge for the higher cost of treating strong waste or pollutants shall be paid by industrial users in accordance with the following formula:

BOD Surcharge	=	(BOD − 250) (62.4 × V) × RBOD    1,000,000
TSS Surcharge	=	(TSS − 250) (62.4 × V) × RTSS    1,000,000
TN Surcharge	=	(TN − 40) (62.4 × V) × RTN    1,000,000
TP Surcharge	=	(TP − 8) (62.4 × V) × RTP    1,000,000
BOD	=	Biochemical oxygen demand in parts per million of the industrial waste or strong waste.
TSS	=	Suspended solids in parts per million of the industrial waste or strong waste.
TN	=	Total Nitrogen in parts per million of industrial waste
TP	=	Total Phosphorus in parts per million of industrial waste
V	=	Volume of the industrial waste or strong waste in cubic feet.
RBOD	=	Surcharge Rate for BOD in dollar/pound
RTSS	=	Surcharge Rate for TSS in dollar/pound
RTN	=	Surcharge Rate for TN in dollar/pound
RTP	=	Surcharge Rate for TP in dollar/pound

 

(b)

The strong waste surcharge shall be listed separately on the industrial user's utility bill. The industrial user shall pay the surcharge in accordance with the requirements of this chapter for payment of other wastewater charges.
