§ 21-69. Industrial waste surcharge.  


Latest version.
  • 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.
