Director of Utilities Carroll stated that the rate increases consisted of three types of charges. The first is a user charge which pays for the normal operating and maintenance expenses of the system. The second was a service charge for extra strength sewage which some industrial users were putting forth into the system. The last is an industrial cost recovery which would go into effect one year after the plant was operative to pay for extra capital improvements which were necessary as a result of industrial customers. The Environmental Protection Agency requires that industrial class pay for its fair share per gallon and per strength of sewage. The rates were computed in the future on winter water usage and on a flat basis only when no metered water usage was available. The metered will pay a minimum rate of $15 and 15 cents per 1,000 gallons over the 79,000 gallons minimum. Outside the City residential and business will also pay 10% additional for infiltration into the system during the flow from the source. The industrial strength will be measured by a sampling process. 390 Meeting of October 21, 1974 4 Mayor Taylor asked if any other persons wished to appear before Council on this ordinance.
