POTW for any additional costs of treatment. Such agreement,
however, may not violate any of the specific prohibitions
provided herein. The POTW shall determine the wastewater
criteria, and volume characteristics used to calculate any
additional cost of treatment.
B. Contracts with Other POTW'S. Whenever there is excess
POTW sewage treatment capacity, the POTW may contract with any
other organized and established sewage treatment plant or with

6. Sewer Charge Adjustment.
(a) The Director may provide for adjustments as needed
to ensure equitable sewer charges. Such adjustments may be
made where excessive quantities of culinary,water pass
through the water meter, but are consumed on the premises
and do not enter the sewer system. In each such instance,
the User will have the burden of providing evidence of such
inequities by showing that the quantity of water not
entering the sewer; but passing through the meter, exceeds
twenty percent of the total flow in order to merit such
consideration by the Director. Each such adjustment
proposed to be made by the Director shall be submitted to
the department of public utilities advisory committee for
ratification. If said 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
70
matter to the mayor or his/her designee, whose decision will
be final.
(b) Additionally, the Director or his authorized
representative may make adjustments under the following
condition due to faulty inside plumbing. All adjusting will
be determined by prior usage. When the charge is not based
on preceding usage and has not been established on winter
average the charge will be determined as outlined in Section
17.72.030 or its successor.
(1) When defective plumbing has caused the
average winter water consumption to exceed the previous
year's average by twenty-five percent or more, there
may be an adjustment made based on prior usage. The
customer must provide to the Director evidence that
plumbing repairs were made within thirty days of
notification from the city. The verification must
include a plumber's invoice for repairs completed,
including the dates of final repair.
(2) When the repairs are accomplished by the
customer rather than by a plumber, dated receipts for
supplies purchased must be submitted together with a
letter to the Director.
(3) When neither a plumber's invoice nor receipts
for supplies are available, the customer must provide
an affidavit, in letter form, outlining the repairs
made, who made them, and when they were completed. The
71
subsequent metered water consumption must show a
significant reduction in usage for an adjustment to be
made.
(4) In the event of a customer's unexplainable
large increase in water consumption during the months
of November through March of any year, the Director or
his/her authorized representative may make adjustments
to any account when there has been a twenty-five
percent increase or more in usage during the said
winter months. Any adjustment may be made only after
an in-depth review of the account has been completed,
and based solely on the merits of each individual
request, and the circumstances surrounding the request.
(5) The Director may make adjustments to the
account of a single family residence if the User or
User's tenant who has also signed the Agreement for
water service has temporary additional (two or more)
people living at the residence during all or part of
the "winter meter readings" period and it has caused
the average winter water consumption to exceed the
previous years' average by twenty five percent or more.
Such adjustment may be 'made by using the following
guidelines:
(i) For one month or less, no adjustment
will be allowed.
72
(ii) For more than one month to twelve
months, the charge will be based on the new
average winter water use for the number of months
said additional people were in the residence.
(iii) For all months following the period
when said additional people are not in said
residence, the 'charge will be based upon the
previous years' established average use, or the
fee shall be as outlined in Section 17.72.030,
subparagraph 5, or its successor.
(6) All adjustments will be determined by the
sewer charge of the preceding year. When the charge
for the preceding year is not established on winter
average, the charge will be determined as outlined in
Section 17.72.030.6, or its successor.
