AN ORDINANCE to repeal Section 4 of Ordinance No. 40 relating to
sewer service charges, and to enact a new section relating to the same
subject, to be known as Section 4 of Ordinance No. 40, with an emergency
clause.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE METROPOLITAN ST.
LOUIS SEWER DISTRICT:
Section One. Section Four of Ordinance No. 40 is hereby
repealed, and a new section enacted in lieu thereof, said new section
reading as follows:
Section Four. Annual rates for the use of sewers to be
calculated upon the basis of water use capacity are hereby
established as follows:
Size of Meter Rate
5/8" $ 6.00
3/4" (Single family residence) 6.00 3/4" (Other than single family residence) 12.00 1" 24.00 1-1/2" 60.00 2" 150.00 3" 270.00 4" 540.00 6" 1,020.00 8" 1,800.00 10" 2,700.00 12" 3,600.00
Minimum bill customers 6.00 Flat rate customers 6.00
Bills for sewer use permits shall be subject to a prompt
payment discount of 15% of the gross bill if paid on or before fifteen
days after the date on which such bills are mailed. If not paid on or
before such date, no discount shall be allowed.
Provided, that where water is used for irrigation the rate to
be applied shall not be computed by the size of the meter but shall be
computed on each house connection in the same manner as it is computed for
flat rate customers.
Section Two. The figure "1200" in the original Section Four of
Ordinance No. 40 having been erroneously inserted by transposition of the
figure "2" and the figure "0" would result in an unfair and inequitable
rate for all users of 6" meters. This ordinance being designed to correct
such error by making said figure read "1020" and so relieve users of 6"
water meters of such inequitable charge, creates an emergency within the
meaning of the Plan, and this ordinance shall be and become effective
immediately upon its adoption.
The foregoing Ordinance was adopted December 27, 1955.
