§ 21-68. Surcharges; additional burdens on sewage system.

(a)

Formula. The surcharge shall be an amount calculated according to the following formula:

S = Vs × 0.00624 [$0.78 (BOD − 300) + $0.57 (SS −-300)]

Where:

S =	Surcharge in dollars
Vs =	Sewage volume in hundred cubic feet
0.00624 =	Conversion factor for hundred cubic feet to million pounds
$0.78 =	Unit charge for BOD in dollars per pound
BOD =	BOD strength index in parts per million by weight
300 =	Allowable BOD strength under normal volume charges in parts per million by weight
$0.57 =	Unit charge for suspended solids in dollars per pound
SS =	Suspended solids strength index in parts per million by weight
300 =	Allowable suspended solids strength under normal volume charges in parts per million by weight
