Sec. 22.1-134. Sewer charges.
Any person having a connection, directly or indirectly, to the
city sewer system shall pay therefor a monthly charge, based
upon water consumption as follows:
(a) Consumers inside the city:
For first 300 cubic feet of water metered, or fractional part
thereof, the sewer charge shall be . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$2.00; and,
For all water metered in excess of 300 cubic feet, the sewer
charge shall be $3.20 for each 1000 cubic feet or fractional
part thereof.
(b) Consumers outside the city:
For first 300 cubic feet of water metered, or fractional part
thereof, the sewer charge shall be . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$4.00; and,
For all water metered in excess of 300 cubic feet, the sewer
charge shall be $6.40 for each 1000 cubic feet or fractional
part thereof.
(c) Any person having an average monthly consumption of
water in excess of 30,000 cubic feet and not discharging the entire
volume of water used by it into the city's sanitary or storm sewer
system shall be allowed a reduction in the charges imposed
hereunder, provided such person shall install, at his expense, a
meter to record either the water which will, or will not, ultimately
reach the city sewers. The utilities committee of the city council,
may in such instances as it, in its opinion, consider the
installation of such a meter to be impractical, establish a formula
which will be calculated to
require such person to pay the sewer charge only on that part
of the water used by such person which ultimately reaches
the city sewers.
(d) The director of finance shall have the right to disconnect
and cease furnishing water to any customer who is
delinquent in the payment of his sewer charges after the
fifteenth day subsequent to the rendering of a statement. (10-19-64;
