<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> wastewater service. It shall be unlawful for <br /> anyone but an authorized City employee to reconnect <br /> service. Any reconnection fees in effect are <br /> applicable. <br /> Sec. 34-86. Surcharges. <br /> <br /> (a) The City will accept BOD5 of up to two <br /> hundred fifty (250) mg/1 and TSS of up to two <br /> hundred fifty (250) mg/1 as normal domestic waste- <br /> water. The City may elect ta accept BOD5 and TSS <br /> in excess of two hundred fifty (250) mg71. BOD <br /> and TSS over the value of two hundred fifty (250~ <br /> mg/1 shall be subject to an excessive strength <br /> surcharge. These surcharges shall be calculated on <br /> a monthly basis using metered wastewater contribu- <br /> tion as a volume factor, if provided by the user, <br /> or one hundred (100) percent of water usage. A <br /> surcharge may also be levied on ammonia concentra- <br /> tions over (30) mg/l. <br /> (b) The total iat, oil, and grease allowed by <br /> this article is one hundred (100) mg/l, whether <br /> free or emulsified. When this parameter is deter- <br /> mined on a grab sample, any amount over the <br /> allowable limit shall be added in milligrams per <br /> liter to the BOD and TSS values used for purposes <br /> of surcharge cal~ulation. <br /> (c) Unless otherwise specified, samples shall <br /> be twenty-four-hour composites. When a <br /> tlow-recording device is provided the samples my be <br /> flow-weighted; otherwise, a simple composite sample <br /> shall be used. <br /> (d) The surcharges shall be based on all <br /> samples taken in the previous month or the most <br /> recent sample available. In no case shall the <br /> sampling basis be less than two (2) twenty-four-hour <br /> composite samples per year if a surcharge is levied <br /> or two (2) separate grab samples as appropriate. <br /> (e) The City may elect to set a minimum <br /> surcharge. Regular sampling may be suspended on <br /> those users considered by the supervisor to be <br /> consistently below the minimum surcharge. When <br /> sampling has been suspended, periodic grab samples <br /> may be used to determine if regular sampling should <br /> be reinstated. <br /> (f) Prior to the erid of a surcharge period, <br /> the user may elect to have his discharge resampled <br /> by the City tor purposes of increasing the number <br /> of samples to be averaged during a particular <br /> surcharge period if the user believes and the City <br /> agrees that the additional samples will cause the <br /> average to better reflect the user's wastewater <br /> contribution for a particular surcharge period. If <br /> City sampling equipmerit is unavailable, user must <br /> supply the proper equipment at his own expense. <br /> T'he City shall retake one (1) sample for each <br /> sample taken in the normal sampling program for a <br /> charge equal to the (,ity's expense. Sampling at <br /> the request of the user in greater frequency than <br /> stated above shall be elective on the part of the <br /> supervisor; Charges tor such sampling may be at a <br /> flat rate of three (3) times the City's cost. The <br /> user may request, no later than the onset of <br /> sampling, a split or duplicate of any sample taken <br /> -23- <br />
