C. Sewer Charge.
1. User Service Rate. Each sewer service account
shall be charged three dollars and fifteen cents per
month minimum charge for up to three hundred cubic feet
of water, or eighty cents per one hundred cubic feet, as
determined by the city through the water meter, 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.
Such winter readings shall be the basis for sewer
billings for the period July 1st through June 30th
following such winter readings.
Any user who had 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 eighty cents per
one hundred 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
in 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 director may waive the meter requirement, in
which event the user will be charged for sewer service as
provided in subparagraph (a) hereof.
2. User Service Rate No. 2.
(a) Whenever the city determines that one or
more of the conditions set forth in subsection
(2)(b) apply, an industrial user shall be subject
to user rate No. 2, which shall be equal to a
minimum charge of $50, plus 1.35 times the service
charge in paragraph (C)(1). Such rate shall apply
beginning with the first billing cycle, effective
immediately, and shall continue until the
industrial user remedies such violation. When any
of the options in this subsection exceed six
consecutive billing cycles, the user service rate
No. 3 shall be imposed.
(b) When industrial user rate No. 2
shall apply:
(i) After any violation of the discharge
permit limits and/or requirements set forth in
city ordinances. Samples in violation of such
discharge permit may be repeated with sampling

initial results. If the follow up sampling and
testing confirms the noncompliance, industrial
user rate No. 2 will be in effect from the
time of the first analysis;

3. User Service Rate No. 3. (a) Whenever the city

subject to user rate No. 3, which shall be equal to a
minimum charge of $100, plus 1.50 times the service
charge in paragraph 3(a) above, until compliance with the
permit has been achieved as demonstrated by three
