Section 134-22.5 WATER NOT DISCHARGED TO SEWERS EXCLUDED FROM RATES
Whenever
a property upon which a sewer use charge is herein
imposed uses water for an institutional or commercial purpose such that
the
water so used is not discharged into the sewerage system of the Town,
the
quantity of water so used and not discharged into the Town's sewers
shall be
excluded in determining the sewer use charge of said property.
Provided
however, that the portion not discharged to the sewer, in the opinion
of the
Town Manager taking into consideration the administrative cost to the
Town and
expected reduction to the user's charges for sewer service, is a
significant
volume and provided that the quantity of water so used and not
discharged into
the Town's sewers is determined, by measuring the volume either
discharged or
not discharged into the Town's sanitary sewer system. The
determination
of volume shall be by a device or devices, meter or meters, approved by
the
Director of Public Works & Utilities, and installed and operated
without
cost to the Town or determined by other means or methods approved by
said
Director of Public Works & Utilities; all without cost to the Town
and only
upon recommendation of the Director of Finance and provided the water
supply is
metered and the user pays for the water at meter rates applicable to
that user.
The
sewer use charge based upon the consumption of Town water to
be paid by the user of said utility services shall be computed at the
rates
provided for, less the quantity not discharged into the Town's sewers.
This section shall not apply to rates set pursuant to Section
134-23 if
specifically excepted by the Town Council as part of the rate schedule
or
contract approved by the Town Council.
