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

CLASS C: From each lot or parcel improved with other than a

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.
Section Three. The rates and charges provided herein
shall become effective July 1, 1972.
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 its
enactment.
