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. 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 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:

family residence, a charge of $12.50 shall be collected
for each six months period beginning July 1, 1970.
CLASS B: From each lot or parcel improved with a multi-
family dwelling, a charge of $9.25 per dwelling unit
shall be collected for each six months period beginning
July 1, 1970.
CLASS C: From each lot or parcel improved with other than a

July 1, 1970, to be fixed according to water
consumption thereon during the preceding six months or
equivalent period, at the rates set forth hereinafter. Normal Sewer Charge Water Consumption Each Six Months Previous Six Months Beginning July 1, 1970 Minimum Charge $12.50 First 250 Ccf 0.245 per Ccf Next 750 Ccf 0.225 per Ccf Next 2,750 Ccf 0.180 per Ccf Next 41,250 Ccf 0.170 per Ccf Over 45,000 Ccf 0.160 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 and B.O.D. in excess of the content
of normal sewage. Such levy shall be Forty-five Dollars
($45.00) per dry ton of excess suspended solids and Fifty
Dollars ($50.00) per ton of excess B.O.D. 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/1 and/or whose average B.O.D.
concentration exceeds 300 mg/1.
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
4
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 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
concentration and/or average B.O.D. concentration and the
adjusted water consumption figure, shall be determined semi-
annually in accordance with current billing procedures and
using current reported analytical data. Said surcharges
shall be calculated for each semi-annual billing period
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 45.00 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 in 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 0.95 = Factor allowance for 95 per cent degree of purification $45.00 =The cost to the District in dollars per ton for removal of suspended solids $50.00 =The cost to the District in dollars per ton for removal of 5-day B.O.D. 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 to
establish a new schedule of reduced charges for the use of public
