revised schedule of normal charges and a new surcharge to be
collected by the District. Section Two of Ordinance No. 1097
shall read as follows:
"Section Two. For the purposes stated in Section One,
the charges established herein shall be collected from all
improved real property, whether public or private, served by the
public sewer systems and facilities in the Mississippi River
Subdistrict according to the classification of each lot or parcel,
as set forth below. Such charges shall constitute a lien on the
real property charged on the date a bill therefor is rendered.
Charges against public property shall be paid as provided in
Section 3.020 (16) of the Plan of The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer
2
District.
An improved lot or parcel of real property, whether
public or private, shall be deemed to be served within the meaning
of this ordinance when it has an active sewer connection with the
sewer systems and facilities in the Mississippi River Subdistrict
or if it otherwise discharges sewage, industrial wastes, water, or
other liquids or solids directly or indirectly to said systems and
facilities or if the discharge of such substances therefrom
ultimately enters said systems and facilities.
A. Normal Sewage shall be as defined in Ordinance No.
1348 as adopted June 29, 1965.
Charges for the discharge of normal sewage into the
sewerage system are hereby levied and they shall be collected
according to the following schedule, to wit:

residence, a charge of $8.00 shall be
collected for each twelve months period

shall be collected for each twelve months
period beginning January 1, 1969.

B. 1. A surcharge is hereby levied on property
which discharges into the public sewerage system suspended
solids exceeding normal sewage. Such levy shall be Forty
Dollars ($40.00) per dry ton of excess.
2. The strength of any water or wastes shall be
determined semi-annually in accordance with current billing
procedure from samples taken at the manhole or place described
in Ordinance No. 1348, or at any period of time and of such
duration and in such manner as the Executive Director may
elect, or, at any place mutually agreed upon between the person
and the Executive Director. The strength so found by analysis
in accordance with Ordinance No. 1348 shall be used for
4
establishing the surcharge. The results of routine sampling
and analyses by the person may be used in determining surcharge
computations after being confirmed by tests by The Metropolitan
St. Louis Sewer District.
3. The surcharge for each semi-annual billing
period shall be calculated according to the following formula,
to wit: Semi-Annual Charge = (55-350 x 8.34 x F x 182.5 x 0.60 x $40.00) 2,000 SS = Average concentration of suspended solids in water or waste in milligrams per liter. 350 = Concentration of total suspended solids in "Normal" sewage in milligrams per liter. 8.34 = Weight in pounds of one gallon of water. F = Average flow of water or waste expressed in million gallons per day. 182.5 = The number of days in each semi-annual period. 0.60 = Factor allowance for 60 per cent degree of purification. 40.00 = The surcharge rate in dollars per ton of excess suspended solids.
2,000 = The number of pounds per ton.
Section Three. The rates and charges provided
herein shall become effective January 1, 1969.
Section Four. An emergency within the meaning
of the Plan is declared to exist because of the immediate need
for operating revenue for pollution abatement facilities.
Accordingly, this ordinance shall take effect immediately upon
5
its enactment.
