SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE
No. 104 of 1980
(Sewer service charges)
AN ORDINANCE REPEALING SECTION 37-5-3 OF THE REVISED
ORDINANCES OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, 1965, RELATING TO SEWER
SERVICE CHARGES.
Be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. That Section 37-5-3 of the Revised Ordinances of
Salt Lake City, Utah, 1965, is hereby amended to read as follows:
sec. 37-5-3. Service charge. The sewer service charge imposed
by Section 37-5-2 hereof, shall be as follows:
(1). Sewer charges. Each sewer service account shall be
charged $2.00 per month minimum charge or $0.45 per 100 cubic
feet of the average monthly water meter readings of those using
solely City water during the consecutive months of November,
December, January, February and March each year, hereafter
"winter readings", whichever is higher. Said winter readings
shall be the basis for sewer billings for the period July 1
through June 30 following such winter readings.
Any user who has more than one water meter, one or more of
which measures water eventually discharged into the sewer and one
or more other meters measuring water not entering the sewer, will
be charged $0.45 cents per 100 cubic feet for all water used
which may enter the sewer, but will not be assessed a sewer
charge on water meter(s) which measure water, no part of which
flows into the sewer system.
For those not using City water or using some City water, the
City may require a City approved meter, at the sewer user's
expense, on the well(s) or other source(s) of water supply for
measurement by City during said months to determine the sewer
user's water use during said months, the average of which shall
become the basis for sewer billings for said period.
For each single dwelling unit not using City water and
desiring not to install a water meter as required above, the
I_R I
Director of the Department of Public Utilities may waive the
meter requirement, in which event the user will be charged for
sewer service as provided in Subparagraph (3)(a) hereof.
(2) Metering of sewage flows. Metering of sewer lines will
be allowed when the user elects to have the sewage flow metered
subject to the following requirements:
(a) The charges for sewer service will be based upon
the actual sewer meter readings rather than upon the average
of said winter readings.
(b) The user will furnish and install at users
to
expense, a meter pursuant /the City's standards and
specifications.
(3) New sewer connections or change in occupancy. Any new
sewer service or existing service having changed occupants
(applies only to one to three dwelling units) or those which do
not have sufficient or accurate data to establish said monthly
winter reading sewer rate shall be assessed monthly charges as
follows until such data is available:
(a) For each single dwelling unit, $3.50 per month
(b) For each duplex, $3.50 per month per dwelling unit.
(c) For each triplex, $3.50 per month per dwelling unit.
(d) For each multiple dwelling, a minimum monthly
charge of $1.75 per dwelling unit or $0.28 per 100 cubic
feet of total water consumption, whichever is highest.
(e) For all other users, a minimum charge of $4.40 per
month or $0.28 per 100 cubic feet of total water
consumption, whichever is highest.
(4) Sewer charge adjustment. The Director of Public
Utilities may make adjustments as needed to ensure equitable
service charges. The Director may make such adjustments where
excessive quantities of culinary water pass through the water
meter, but are consumed on the premises and do not enter the
sewage system. In each such instance, the user will have the
burden of providing evidence of such inequities by showing that
-2-
104
the quantity of water not entering the sewer, but passing through
the water meter, exceeds 20 percent of the total flow in order to
merit such consideration by the Director. Each such adjustment
made by the Director shall be submitted to the Department of
Public Utilities Advisory Committee for ratification. If said
committee approves the adjustment it shall be effective
immediately. If the committee does not act upon the adjustment
for thirty (30) days, it shall automatically be deemed approved
at the end of said period. If said adjustment is disapproved,
the Director may submit the matter to the Mayor whose decision
will be final.
(5) Residential sewer accounts limitation. Until July 1,
1981, no single dwelling unit shall be charged more than $25.00
per month for sewer service. Thereafter, the foregoing rates
shall apply.
SECTION 2. In the opinion of the City Council of Salt Lake
City, it is necessary to the peace, health and welfare of the
inhabitants of Salt Lake City that this ordinance become
effective immediately upon first publication, provided however,
that, customers presently billed monthly shall be charged but not
billed at the new rate until thirty (30) days after said
publication, and customers presently billed bi-monthly shall be
charged but not billed at the new rate until sixty (60) days
after said publication.
Passed by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah,
this 7th day of October , 1980.
