The purpose hereof is to establish a means of providing adequate sewers required by develop- ment in the City and to establish a charge to be coll- ected from all the properties that propose to discharge, to the public sewer, quantities of sewage in excess of the quantity for which the existing sewerage system was designed; and to establish a fund into which these charges may be deposited and from which monies will be available for the City Sewer,Reconstruction Program.
