" .'1'` , • •• • ' . G. Extra Strength Surcharge. Service Charges and Volume Charges as specified in sections E and F above �naii. be considered to b� payment for collection apd treat�ent of all sewage of strengths up to concentrat- ion� of 200 mg/1 BOD and 240 mg/1 Suspended Solids. An additional ESctra Strength Surcharge shall be charged ih the event that a user discharges wastes of strengths in exces� of 200 �ug/1 BOD and 240 mg/1 Suapended Solidss. The City will determine ennually, costs per ponnd for treatment of excess concentrations of BOD and Suspended Solids for the purposes of assessing Extra Strength Surcharges to those users who may be discharging suchj�la�tes. The unit costs, for this purpose, will be computed on the following basis : 1. The total annual cost of collection and treatment shall be determined from infor�ation contained in the official audit prepared for the last preceding Fiscal Year. In determining the amount of audited expenses allocable to the operation of the Sewer Department, the following items will be considered : a. �S the total expense of the combined waterworks and sewer system for Accounting and Collection Costs b. � the total expense of the combined waterworks and sewerage system for General and Administrative Costs c. Total audited value for Sewer Expense, including all Operation aad Maintenaace expense for the sewer system atad for sewage treatment. d. 6296 of the past year's principal and interest cost on 1963 Waterwo�ks and Sewerage Revenue Bonds so long as said bonds are outatanding. e.

The annual average daily dry weather flow, BOD and Suspended Solids for untreated wastes received at the treatment plante, computed from treatment records by omitting values for days in which rainfall contributed to flow. Values for BOD and for Suspended Solids shall be computed on the basis of the total number of pounds received at the treatmeat plants. 3. Fro� data obtained in sub-paragraph 1 and 2 above, the total annual cost per pound of BOD treated and per pound of Suspended Solids treated shall be co�puted. In making these calculation, the total annual cost obtained as outlined in paragraph 1 ahall be apportioped as follows : 40q6 of total assigned to Volume 3096 of total aasigned to BOD 3096 of total assigned to Suspended Solids . , , • , , ' , ' 4.

Credit shall be given for BOD up to 200 mg/1 and for Suspended Solids up to 240 mg/l as being included under the Service Charge and Volume Char�e. For strengths in excess of 200 mg/1 BOD and 240 mg/1 Su�spended Solids, charges per pound shall be made in accordance with the results of calculatio�ns as outlined in subparagraph 3 for the billing period. Extra Stren�th Surcharges determined for the preceding year shall be applied until a new determination is made of the unit costs for BOD and Suspended Solids and of volume and strength of wastes discharged by a user. In the event that a change in sewage volume or strength is considered to have taken place, the City will have the right to obtain updated information on volume apd strengths of a user 's discharge and to make adjustments in the number of pounds applicable for surcharge. Should a user desire to have Extra Stren�th Surcharges ad�usted, arrengements may be worked out with the Superintendent for additioqal sampling analyses and surcharge computations, with the user paying for the cost of such additional measurement, analyses and cal�r.ula- tions as detera�ined by the Superintendent. For any particular user, the Superintendent may determine that Extra Strength Surcharges will not be assessed if he determines that the eost of ineasurement, analyses and calculation will be in excess of the amounts that would be �eceived by the City as income from Extra Strength Surchargea.
