permits for sewer connections must be made in writing by a licensed
sewer contractor or his authorized agent, on an application blank
furnished by the city engineer. If in the judgment of the city engi-
neer the carrying out of such connection will cause no injury to the
street in which the sewer sought to be connected with, is laid, or to
the carrying out of improvements projected, or which may there-
after be made on said street, or prejudicial to the interests of
persons whose property has been or may thereafter be connected
with said sewer, and that said connection in all things shall
conform to the ordinances of the city, then the application to
connect with the sewer shall be granted, subject to the provisions
of this title. All sewer connections shall be to line and grade
designated by the city engineer, who shall prepare a plat of
each connection and file such plat in his office, for which
services, filing and inspection, the city engineer shall collect
a fee of fifteen dollars (survey - ten dollars, inspection -
three dollars, street excavationpermit - two dollars) .

chapter, however, shall in no way relieve said person of the
penalties that may be imposed for violation of any section in this
chapter.
Sec. 37-3-6. Trial sewer survey. Fee. In order to deter-
mine the feasibility of connecting a basement or proposed base-
ment to the sanitary sewer, the owner or plumber may make appli-
cation for a trial sewer survey, the minimum cost of which shall
be ten dollars. This does not constitute a permit to connect to
the sewer, but is merely for information purposes.
Sec. 37-3-7. Denial of permit. Faulty plumbing. Permit to
connect with the sewer shall not be issued unless the plumbing in
the house or building to be connected is in accordance with the

to the issuance of any permit specified in this title, regardless
of whether the work is actually done by said contractor or his
duly authorized representative.
Sec. 37-3-10. Work must be completed within sixty days. The
work authorized by the permit shall be done with all possible speed
in accordance with the city ordinances. If the work is not completed
15

within sixty days (unless special extension is granted by the city
engineer) the permit shall be void and no refund made for such
permit and a new permit must be obtained to finish the work.
Sec. 37-3-11. Revocation of permit. The city engineer may
at any time revoke a permit on account of defective work.
Sec. 37-3-12. Inspection required. The inspection of sewer
connections between the main sewer and three feet outside of the
building line shall be under the direction of the city engineer
by duly authorized inspectors. He shall be notified at least four
hours in advance by the plumber that the connection is complete
and ready for inspection. The entire length of the sewer connec-
tion, including the "Y" at the main sewer, shall be fully exposed.
If any portion of the work is not done in accordance with these
ordinances and the instructions of the city engineer, or his
inspectors, it shall be rectified promptly. No backfilling shall
be done until the inspection is made and the work accepted. No
certificate of inspection shall be issued until the work is
entirely satisfactory.
Sec. 37-3-13. Re-inspection. Additional fee. In the event
that the inspector finds the connection not complete, or if any

set by the city engineer for the sewer connection must not be
disturbed, removed or covered.
Sec. 37-3-15. Fee for resetting stakes. In the event that
the stakes are not available for the inspector to check the pipeline
he may refuse to make an inspection of the work until stakes have
been reset by the city engineer and a fee of five dollars has been
paid by the sewer contractor for such work.
Sec. 37-3-16. Permit not to issue until assessment of connec-
tion fee is paid. When the special assessment for sewer improvement
or the cost of the sewer improvement for the property proposed to
be connected to said sewer has not been paid by the landowner
thereof, and the responsibility and expense of maintaining and
operating said sewer is assumed by the city, no permit for a sewer
connection shall be issued until the city has been paid a connection
fee of four dollars per front foot of property to be serviced.
The city engineer shall maintain a record of the payment of
the above fees, together with survey plats indicating the real
property within Salt Lake City for which said sewer connection fees
have been paid and the real property within Salt Lake City for
which said sewer connection fees have not been paid and these
records shall be open to public inspection during the regular hours
of the city engineer's office.
Sec. 37-3-17. Assessments to be in addition to fees. The
payment of any of the assessments set forth in the preceding section
does not in any way relieve the owner from the payment of other fees
levied by this title.

Sec. 37-5-2. Sewage service charge imposed. For the purpose
of defraying the cost of construction, reconstruction, maintenance
and operation of the sewer system and the sewage treatment plant
of Salt Lake City, there is hereby imposed a sanitary sewer service
use charge upon all persons and premises receiving sanitary sewage
service and collection and/or sewage treatment plant of Salt Lake
City for use thereof.
Sec. 37-5-3. Sewage service charge. The sewage service charge
imposed by Section 37-5-2 hereof, shall be as follows:
(a) For each single dwelling unit, $.06 per 100 cubic feet
of water consumed for the first 6,600 cubic feet and $.01 per 100

(j) Since the charges specified above reflect an allowance
for water which is consumed but does not enter the sewer system,
any consumer who has more than one water meter, one or more of
which measures water eventually to be discharged into the sewer
and one or more which measures water not entering the sewer system;
will be charged the amount specified in Section 37-5-3 plus $.05
per 100 cubic feet of water flowing through the meter which measures
water to be discharged into the sewer, and will be assessed no charge
on the meter which measures water not flowing into the sewer system.
Sec. 37-5-4. Charges combined and billed with water service
charges. Said sewer charges are combined with and shall be filled
and collected at the same time as, and payment thereof shall be
enforced by the same proceedings, provided by law, ordinances or
regulations for the billing, collection and enforcing of payment
of charges for water service rendered by the department of water
supply and waterworks. In case the sewage charges are not paid
when due, the superintendent of waterworks may cause the water
supply to the premises served to be shut off or limited.
Sec. 37-5-5. When billings to commence. The sewer service
use charges imposed by this chapter shall be billed with all water
billings made for water consumed after the effective date of this
ordinance.
Sec. 37-5-6. Charges for discontinuing or restoring water
services. In the event water service to any building or premises in
Salt Lake City is shut off or limited under the provisions of this
chapter or under the provisions of the rules and regulations relating
to the department of water supply and waterworks and the rendering
of water service, there is hereby imposed and assessed an additional
charge of three dollars ($3.00) for turning on or restoring water
service, which charge shall be added to the water charges and become
a part of the water bill for said premises. Water service shall
not be turned on or restored until all past due charges for water
and sewer service and for turning off and restoring water service
have been paid in full.
Sec. 37-5-7. Sewage service charge a personal debt. Said
sewage charges are levied and assessed against the person or persons
liable under law and/or ordinances and/or contract for water services
45
-16-
rendered at the premises receiving sewer service through Salt Lake
City and are a debt due the city from and after the accounting
period for which a statement for water service is to be rendered
under the ordinances and regulations governing the sale and dis-
tribution of water. Where sewer services are rendered to premises
and supplied water from the city, said charges are levied and
assessed against the owner or person having control or operation
of said premises.
Sec. 37-5-8. Collection - accounting - collection costs.
The department of water supply and waterworks shall receive and
collect the sewer service charges levied under the provisions of
this chapter and shall promptly, after receipt thereof, account
for and pay over the same to the city treasurer. Periodically,
under rules to be established by the city auditor, there shall be
paid to the department of water supply and waterworks out of the
proceeds of such charges the reasonable costs and expenses of
said department incident to the billing, receiving, collecting
and accounting for said charges.
Sec. 37-5-9. Right of entry for inspecting and testing.
Officers and agents of Salt Lake City, upon presenting suitable
identification and stating the purpose thereof, shall have the
right at all reasonable times and hours to enter upon and all
premises in Salt Lake City receiving sewage service from the city
for the purpose of inspecting, sampling and testing the sanitary
sewer system on said premises and the sewage contained in or
discharged through the same. In the event a duly authorized
officer or agent of Salt Lake City is refused admission for any
such purpose, the superintendent of the department of water
supply and waterworks may at his discretion cause water service
to the premises in question to be limited or discontinued until
the city officers and agents have been afforded reasonable access
to the premises and sewer system to accomplish the purposes
aforesaid.
Sec. 37-5-10. Unoccupied dwelling unit. In the event a
dwelling unit becomes unoccupied, the sewer service charge for
such dwelling unit as imposed by Section 37-5-3 shall be suspended
when water service to the dwelling is discontinued at the request
of the person liable for the sewer use charge.
Sec. 37-5-11. Measurement of flow. The volume of flow
used for computing waste water charges and surcharges shall be
the metered water consumption of the person as shown in the
records of meter readings maintained by the Salt Lake City Water
Department.
If the person discharging waste water into the public sewers
procures any part, or all, of his water from sources other than
the City Water Department, all or a part of which is discharged
into the public sewers, the person shall install and maintain at
his expense water meters of a type approved by the city engineer
for the purpose of determining the volume of water obtained from
these other sources. Such person shall notify the City Water
Department of such installation within 30 days and grant access
thereto for reading.
As an alternative to the above outlined method of determining
charges, when good cause is shown by the person that the above
outlined method would cause an unreasonable burden and written
acceptance is obtained from the city engineer, a person may use
one of the two following methods as a means of measuring the flow
of sewage in order to compute a sanitary sewer service charge:
45
-17-
(a) A person may install, at his own expense, a meter of
a type approved by the city engineer, for the purpose of
measuring the flow of waste water into the sanitary sewer. Since
the charges outlined in Sec. 37-5-3 reflect an automatic allowance
for a certain percentage of the water consumed not returning to
the sewer, the charge based upon the reading of said waste water
meter shall be the rate outlined for the person in Section
37-5-3, plus $.05 per 100 cubic feet of waste water consumed.
The sanitary sewer seririce charge shall then be wholly based
upon this revised rate and the volume of waste water flowing as
read from the waste water meter on a monthly basis, or
(b) A person may allow the city to estimate the waste water
flow, by taking separate flow readings in a manner, which in
the opinion of the city engineer is representative of the waste
water flow that the person discharges into the sanitary sewer,
or by other means calculated to determine waste water flow.
The city shall then be empowered to apply the service charge
established in subsection (a) to this estimate. The person would
also be liable for any expense incurred by the city in preparing
this estimate, including wages for man-hours spent.
Sec. 37-5-12. Water not discharged to community sewer.
For premises where a portion of the water received from any
source does not flow into a sanitary sewer because of the principal
activity of the person or removal by other means, the charge for
sewage disposal service will be applied against the volume of
waste water discharging from such premises into a sanitary sewer.
Written notification and proof of the diversion of water must be
provided by the person if he is to avoid application of the sewage
disposal charge against the total amount of water used from all
sources. He may be required by the city to install a meter, of a
type and at a location approved by the city engineer and at his
own expense, to determine the quantity of waste water flowing
into a sanitary sewer. However, where it is impractical to install
meters and where the quantity of water diverted from the sewers
amounts to more than 20 percent of the total water used, the
charge for sewage disposal service may be based upon an estimate
prepared by the city.
Sec. 37-5-13. Industrial waste surcharges. All persons
discharging industrial wastes into the public sewers shall
be subjected to a surcharge, in addition to any other sewer service
charges, if these wastes have a concentration greater than the
following concentrations:
(a) A five day, 20 degree centigrade BOD of 125 ppm; or
(b) A suspended solids content of 200 ppm.
Sec. 37-5-14. Id. Computation of surcharge. The compu-
tation of surcharge per person shall be determined as follows:
The excess pounds of BOD and suspended solids will be computed
by multiplying the person's sewage flow volume in million gallons
per day by the constant 8.345 and then multiplying this product
by the difference between the person's concentrations of BOD and
suspended solids and the aforementioned concentrations in Section
37-5-14. The surcharge of each constituent will then be determined
-18-
by multiplying the pounds in excess of the concentrations in
Section 37-5- 14 by the appropriate rate of surcharge listed in
Section 37-5-16. This product will then be multiplied by the
number of days in the billing period to determine the surcharge.
Concentration figures in the above calculations shall be daily
averages determined in accordance with provisions of Sec. 37-6-4 and 5.
Sec. 37-5-15. Id. Rates of surcharge. The rates bf sur-
charge for each of the aforementioned contituents shall be as
follows:
(a) For BOD $.014 per pound.
(b) For suspended solids $.024 per pound.
Sec. 37-5-17. Revision of rates. The rates of surcharge shall
be reviewed annually by the city engineer in order to determine
whether or not they are sufficient to defray the fixed charges,
amortization costs and annual costs of operation as determined from
the sewage treatment plant records. If the difference between the
revenue derived from the rates of surcharge and the total annual
cost is sufficient to justify an increase or decrease in the rates
the city engineer shall bring this before the board of commissioners
who shall be empowered to make the appropriate change.

file with the city engineer a report that shall include actual and
predicted data relating to the quantity and characteristics of the
waste to be discharged.
Sec. 37-6-2. Extension of time. When it can be demonstrated
that circumstances exist which would create an unreasonable burden
on the person to comply with the time schedule imposed by Sec.
37-6-1, a request for extension of time may be presented for con-
sideration by the city engineer.
Sec. 37-6-3. Control manholes. Each person discharging
industrial wastes into a public sewer shall construct and maintain
one or more control manholes or access points in the building sewer
to facilitate observation, measurement and sampling of his wastes,
including domestic sewage.
45
-19-
Control manholes or access facilities shall be located and
built in a manner acceptable and according to plans approved by
the city engineer.
Control manholes, access facilities and related equipment
shall be installed by the person discharging the waste, at his
expense, and shall be maintained by him so as to be in safe con-
dition, accessible and in proper operating condition at all times.

facilities and related equipment shall be approved by the city
engineer prior to the beginning of construction of said manholes.
Sec. 37-6-4. Waste sampling. Industrial wastes discharged
into the public sewers shall be subject to periodic inspection
and a determination of character and concentration of said wastes.
The determination shall be made as often as may be deemed neces-
sary by the city engineer.
Samples shall be collected in such a manner as to be repre-
sentative of the composition of the wastes. The sampling may be
accomplished either manually or by the use of mechanical equipment
acceptable to the city engineer.
Installation, operation and maintenance of the sampling facili-
ties shall be the responsibility of the person discharging the
waste and shall be subject to the approval of the city engineer.
Access to sampling locations shall be granted to the city engineer
or his duly authorized representative at all reasonable times.
Every care shall be exercised in the collection of samples to
insure their preservation in a state comparable to that at the
time the sample was taken.
37-6-5. Analysis. Laboratory procedures used in the examina-
tion of industrial wastes shall be those set forth in "standard
methods." However, alternate methods for certain analyses of
industrial wastes may be used subject to mutual agreement between
the city engineer and the person.
Sec. 37-6-6. Responsibility for sewer connections. All sewer
lateral connections from the house or building to the main sewer,
including the "Y", shall be the responsibility of the property
owner to have installed and maintained.
