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 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: CLASS A: From each lot or parcel improved with a single- family residence, a charge of $8.00 shall be collected for each twelve months period beginning January 1, 1969. CLASS B: From each lot or parcel improved with a multi- family dwelling, a charge of $6.00 per dwelling unit shall be collected for each twelve months period beginning January 1, 1969. CLASS C: From each lot or parcel improved with other than a single-family residence or multi-family dwelling, a sum shall be collected for each six months period beginning January 1, 1969, to be fixed according to water consumption thereon during the preceding six months or 3 equivalent period at the rates set forth hereinafter. 4 Water Consumption Class C Charges Previous Six Months Each Six Months Minimum Charge $8.00 First 500 Ccf $0.070 per Ccf Next 2,000 Ccf $0.060 per Ccf Next 7,500 Ccf $0.055 per Ccf Next 90,000 Ccf $0.045 per Ccf Over 100,000 Ccf $0.035 per Ccf B.1.A surcharge is hereby levied on the person discharging or responsible for the discharge into the public sewerage system, suspended solids exceeding normal sewage. Such levy shall be Forty-five Dollars ($45.00) per dry ton of excess and shall be adjusted annually based on costs to the District for removal. B.2.The person subject to surcharge is one whose water consumption is equal to or exceeds Fifty Thousand cubic feet (50,000 Ccf) in any six month period and whose average suspended solids concentration exceeds 350 mg/l. B.3.Each person subject to surcharge shall submit to the District on forms supplied by the District as stated in Ordinance No. 2289 a certified statement concerning strength and volume of wastewaters discharged into the sewers or sewer works of the District or into any sewer connected thereto. The analytical data submitted thereby based on Standard Industrial Classification requirements shall be obtained from samples collected in accordance with standard accepted procedures from the manhole or adequate place described in Ordinance 5 No. 2289 at a time period representative of normal operational conditions and utilizing accepted analytical procedures. B.4.Analytical data reported by the person discharging subject wastewaters will be considered current for each subsequent billing period until such data is reported inaccurate and replaced by updated certified data by said person. The results of routine scheduled sampling and analyses by the Industrial Waste Division of the District may be used in lieu of data reported by said person if such data is found to be not current or in error. B.5.The surcharge, calculated separately for each premise using wastewater flow proportioned average suspended solids concentrations and the adjusted water consumption figure, shall be determined semi-annually in accordance with current billing procedures and using current reported analytical data. Said surcharge shall be calculated for each semi-annual billing period according to the following formula, to wit: Semi-Annual Charge = (SS-350) x 8.34 x F x 182.5 x 0.60 x $45.00 2000 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. 6 182.5 = The number of days in each semi-annual period. 0.60 = Factor allowance for 60 per cent degree of purification. 45.00 =The cost to the District in dollars per ton for removal of suspended solids. 2,000 = The number of pounds per ton.
