Section Five in lieu thereof, establishing revised surcharges to be
collected when applicable from all the real property, whether
public or private, served directly or indirectly by the public
sewer systems and facilities of The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer
District (Spanish Lake #1), effective July 2, 1981.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE
METROPOLITAN ST. LOUIS SEWER DISTRICT:
Section One. Section Five of Ordinance No. 4036,
as adopted May 28, 1980, is hereby repealed.
Section Two. Section Five of Ordinance No. 4036 as
amended shall read as follows:
"Section Five. Said charges shall be made and collected
in accordance with the schedules as hereinafter set forth:
NORMAL SEWAGE
The term "normal sewage" shall be as defined in Ordinance
No. 2289 as adopted May 3, 1972.
Charges for the discharge of normal sewage into the
sewerage system are hereby levied and they shall be collected
according to the following schedules "A" and "B", to wit:
SCHEDULE A
Rate 1. For each single-family residence:
A minimum charge of $18.00 for each six months period.
whether or not the water supply is metered. A single
family residence as used herein is defined as premises
used as a dwelling by one family only.
Rate 2. For each family unit of a multifamily building or
structure.
A charge of $13.50 for each six months period per family
or dwelling unit whether or not the water supply is
metered. A multifamily building or structure as used
herein is defined as a dwelling under one roof for
occupancy by more than one family, including but not
limited to flats, apartments and the like.
PROVIDED: The District shall have the power to enter on
any premises for the purposes of examining the use made of its
sewerage facilities, the number and kind of plumbing fixtures
connected with such facilities, and the number of persons served by
such facilities. When such examination gives reason to believe
that the consumption of water on premises places a burden on the
sewerage system in excess of that which is placed by other premises
in the same sewer service charge rate classification, then the
Executive Director shall require measurement of the sewage
discharged from the premises, at the expense of the owner or
occupant, by a water meter or meters or by a sewage flow meter or
meters. If such measurement shows that the sewage flow is
excessive, sewer service charges for such premises shall be
computed as SCHEDULE B rates.
SCHEDULE B
For all premises not included in Schedule A, or
specifically excluded therefrom by provisions thereof:
WATER CONSUMPTION RATE EACH SIX MONTHS
PREVIOUS SIX MONTHS PER 100 CUBIC FEET
(Ccf = 100 cubic feet) Minimum Charge $18.00
First 50 Ccf Minimum Charge
Next 2,450 Ccf $0.18
Next 42,500 Ccf 0.17
Over 45,000 Ccf 0.16
SURCHARGES
Surcharges on a uniform District-wide basis for the
removal of suspended solids (SS) and biochemical oxygen demand
(B.O.D.) exceeding normal sewage discharge as defined in District
Ordinance No. 2289, adopted May 3, 1972, are hereby levied and they
shall be collected in addition to the normal sewer service charges
established herein for The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District
(Spanish Lake #1).
Unless the context specifically indicates otherwise the
meaning of the terms used in this ordinance shall be as follows:
SS = Average concentration of suspended solids in water or
waste in milligrams per liter.
B.O.D.= Average concentration of 5-day B.O.D in water or waste in
milligrams per liter.
350 = Concentration of total suspended solids in "Normal"
sewage in milligrams per liter.
300 = Concentration of 5-day B.O.D. 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.
0.90 = Factor allowance for 90 percent degree of purification.
$100.00 = The cost to the District in dollars per dry ton for
removal of suspended solids.
$100.00 = 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.
The general requirements for determination of surcharge
applicability in The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (Spanish
Lake #1), and the reporting, compilation and use of analytical data
and other pertinent information for said surcharges shall be as
follows:
1. The person subject to surcharge is one whose water
consumption is equal to or exceeds fifty thousand cubic feet (500
Ccf) in any six month period.
2. Each person subject to surcharge shall submit to the
District on forms supplied by the District as stated in Ordinance
No. 2289, adopted May 3, 1972, a certified statement concerning
strength and volume of wastewater 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 said Ordinance No. 2289 at a
time period representative of normal operational conditions and
utilizing accepted analytical procedures.
3. Analytical data reported by the person discharging
subject wastewaters will be considered current for each sub-sequent
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.
In The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (Spanish
Lake #1), a surcharge shall be collected from any person
discharging or responsible for the discharge into the public
sewerage system of suspended solids (SS) whose average con-
centration exceeds 350 mg/l with said surcharge calculated for each
semi-annual billing period according to the formula, to wit:
Semi-Annual Charge=(SS-350)x8.34 x F x 182.5 x 0.90 x $100.00
2000
In The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (Spanish
Lake #1), a surcharge shall be collected from any person dis-
charging or responsible for the discharge into the public sewer-
age system of biochemical oxygen demand (B.O.D.) whose average
concentration exceeds 300 mg/l with said surcharge calculated for
each semi-annual billing period according to the following
formula, to wit:
Semi-Annual Charge=(.B.O.D.-300)x8.34xF x 182.5 x 0.90 x $100.00
2000
All surcharges in The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer
District (Spanish Lake #1) shall be calculated separately for each
premise using wastewater flow proportioned average suspended solids
concentration (SS) and/or average biochemical oxygen demand
concentrations (B.O.D.) and the adjusted water consumption figure,
and shall be determined and billed semi-annually in accordance with
current billing procedures and using current reported analytical
data. "
Section Three. The rates and charges provided herein
shall become effective July 1, 1981.
The foregoing Ordinance was adopted July 1, 1981.
