§ 21-69. Industrial waste surcharge.
Persons permitted to discharge industrial wastes pursuant to section 21-63 shall pay the sewer service charge plus an industrial waste surcharge. The basis for the town's surcharge on industrial wastes is a capital and operating cost of twenty-five cents ($0.25) per part per million, per million gallons for the BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) and a capital and operating cost of thirty cents ($0.30) per part per million, per million gallons for the suspended solids exceeding "normal" sewage. The surcharge shall be calculated for billing purposes with the following formula:
S.C. = V[O.25(BOD - 240) + 0.29(SS 1 - 240)]
S.C. — Surcharge in dollars for time related to volume. V — Volume in million gallons based on metered water. BOD — BOD = 5-day at 20°C of industrial waste (ppm) = actual. SS 1 — Suspended solids of industrial waste (ppm) = actual. (Ord. No. 198)
