HomeMy WebLinkAbout3700 AN C~DINANCE establishing the policies for determining
equitable charges to be imposed on all users which dis-
charge %~ste~ter to the %~stewater facility system
operated by the City of Bremerton, providing certain
prohibitions upon such users and discharges and
repealing and amending various provisions of existing
ordinances which conflict with this ordinance.
S~CTION 1: PURPOSE
This ordinance establishes user charge policies to generate sufficient
revenue to fund capitalization and operation and maintenance of the City's
~stew~ter system. Ccsts shall be distributed to all users of the system in
proportion to each user's demands for capacity (capital costs) and actual system
loading (O & M Costs). Volu~e and strength of %~stewater shall be considered in
determining each user's share of costs. A separate ordinance will establish
specific rates of charge consistent with the policies established herein.

residential user's "adjusted volu~e" is less than 400 cubic feet per bi-mDnth
per unit no volumetric unit charge shall be applisd, but no deduction from
the flat charge portion shall be allowed.
c. A special basis for volumetric user charges will be
applied to single-family residential classes of users during a six-month
period (either April-May, June-July, and August-September or May-June,
July-August, and September-October billing periods, depending upon which
bi-monthly cycle applies to a specific account). For such six-month pericd
of probable irrigation use of mstered water, %Dlur~etric charges for sewer
service will not exceed the maximmn volturetric charge for a bi-monthly bill-
ing during the preceeding six (6) mDnths providing the user account ~as in
effect and active for at least two billing periods of the preceedi~ six (6)
months. The above allowance for irrigation usage of water may be extended to
other than single family residential user class accounts providing the user
applies for such allowance in writing and can r~.~onably demonstrate that
such irrigation usage allowance is appropriate.
8. Flat Rate O & M Charges. All users will be assessed a flat
rate O & M charge on all service billings to include the equally allocated
costs for standard billing and receiving (see Secticn 3(B)(1)(d)(i)). Addi-
tionally, special 0 & M charges for metering, sampling, analysis and/or
special computer operations will be added to all bills for all users in the
"contract", "septage" and "g~rified strength" user classes. (See Section
3(B)(1)(d)(ii)). The flat rate portion of O & M charges to all residential
users will also include a charge for a minimum 400 cubic feet of ~stewater
discharge per residential unit per bi-monthly period.
C. Capital Costs. The estimated funds for capital improvements, less
amounts recovered through a contract with U.S. Navy and from specific grants,
will be recovered by charges allocated to all users, except U.S. Navy.
Any debt service or redemption costs for bonds or loans for waste-
water system improvements will be treated as ~ould direct payments for
capital improvements.
