E.M.C BY REVISING THE SCHEDULE OF RATES AND CHARGES FOR
SANIT ARY SEWAGE SERVICE.
WHEREAS, the City Council, having reviewed the sanitary
sewage service needs of the city and costs incident thereto,
finds and concludes that the rates and charges for sanitary

NOW , THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1.
That Section 9, Chapter 4, Title XV of the 1969 E.M.C.
hereby is amended to read as follows:
15-4-9. RATES AND CHARGES FOR SEWERAGE SERVICE
(a) There is hereby levied and charged on each lot,
parcel of land, and premises served by or having sewer con-
nections with the sanitary sewer of the City of Englewood,
or otherwise discharging sanitary sewage, industrial wastes,
or other liquids, either directly or indirectly into the city
sanitary sewer system, an annual service charge which shall
be computed and payable as follows:
(1) The minimum annual charge for service, both
inside and outside the city, shall be twenty dollars ($20.00).
(2) Customers with metered water service shall pay
nineteen cents ($0.19) per 1000 gallons of wastewater treated,
but in no event shall they pay less than the minimum annual
charg e. Wastewater generated by each customer shall be calcu-
lated using winter water usage information from the months
of November through April.
SPECIAL CASES:
(A) Industrial waste class customers shall
pay charges based upon one hundred ten percent (110%)
metered water used.
(B) Schools operating on a nine-month school
year shall be billed seventy-six percent (76\) of the charges
which would normally accrue for similar usage by a residential
customer.
(C) Industries, car washes and other commercial
users may be billed based upon annual rather than winter-
peri od water usage, where in the opinion of the Director of
Utili ties annual usage more accurately represents sewage con-
tribu tion.
(3) Where metered water usage information is not
available, sewage treatment charges shall be computed and
will be payable as follows:
(A) Each single-family unit of dwelling:
twenty dollars ($20.00).
(B) Each multiple dwelling unit: thirteen
dollars ($13.00).
(C) Other cases: based upon reasonable estimates
of projected flow.
(4) Outside city customers shall pay one hundred ten
percent (110\) of the charges assessable to inside city cus-
tomers under provisions of paragraphs (2) and (3).
(b) The above rates and charges for inside city limits
shall be billed in quarter annual installments in advance.
Rates and charges for sewer-only accounts outside the city
may, at the discretion of the Director of Finance, be billed
annually where this would not conflict with specific provi-
sions of a connector's agreement. All bills shall become
due and payable upon receipt of the bill and shall become
delinque nt f ifteen (15) days after date of bill.
(c) Nothing in this section shall be construed to pre-
vent any special agreement as hereinabove provided between
the City of Englewood and other persons, cities, towns and
incorpo rated sewer districts and sanitation districts, and
agencies thereof served by the city sewer system.
Secti on 2.
The amendment hereinabove set forth shall become ef-
