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 Coldwater Creek Trunk Subdistrict according to the classification of each lot or parcel, as set forth below.

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 Coldwater Creek Trunk 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 said sewage system are hereby levied and they shall be collected according to the following schedule, to wit: CLASS A:From each lot or parcel improved with a single- family residence, a charge of $12.50 shall be collected for each six months period beginning July 1, 1970.

A surcharge for each six months is hereby levied on property which discharges into said public sewerage system suspended solids and B.O.D. in excess of the content of normal sewage, effective July 1, 1970. The surcharge shall be collected at the rate of Forty Dollars ($40.00) per dry ton of excess suspended solids, and at the rate of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) per dry ton of excess B.O.D. 2. The suspended solids or B.O.D. in 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 or time and of such duration and in such manner as the Executive Director may elect, or, at any place mutually agreed upon between the 4 person or company responsible for such discharge and the Executive Director. The suspended solids or B.O.D. so found by analysis in accordance with Ordinance No. 1348 shall be used for establishing the surcharge. The results of routine sampling and analyses by said person or company 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 formulas, to wit: Suspended Solids Semi-Annual Charge = (SS-350) x 8.34 x F x 182.5 x 0.95 x 40.00 2,000 B.O.D. Semi-Annual Charge = (BOD-300) x 8.34 x F x 182.5 x 0.95 x 50.00 2,000 Symbols mean SS =Average concentration of suspended solids water or waste BOD =Average concentration of 5-day B.O.D. in water or waste 350 =Concentration of total suspended solids in "Normal" sewage 300 =Concentration of 5-day B.O.D. in "Normal" sewage 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 O.95 =Factor allowance for 95 per cent degree of purification $40.00 =The surcharge rate in dollars per ton of excess suspended solids $50.00 =The surcharge rate in dollars per ton of excess 5-day 5 B.O.D. 2,000 =The number of pounds per ton Section Three.
