components. These components are as follows:
1) Operation and Maintenance(O&M) Charges- Base and Other O&M Charges.
a) Base O&M Charges. Calculation of base O&M charges shall be calculated and
established on an annual basis at the beginning of each calendar year. O&M costs associated
with the operation and maintenance of the City's Process Water Reuse Facilities shall be shared
proportionately between all users of the facilities, based upon the estimated annual flows for
each industrial user. Base O&M costs shall be allocated and collected over a twelve-month
period. The base O&M costs and resulting base O&M charges shall be established and based
upon an adopted City Council budget for the Process Water Reuse Facility. The minimum
annual base O&M charge for any single user of the facility shall be as set forth in Chapter 3.07
of this code $12,009.00.
2) Customized O&M Charges: a) For industrial customers utilizing the facilities
specifically constructed (customized) for a specific customer(s) the costs of operation and
maintenance, over and above the base O&M costs shall be directly borne by those customers.
The other O&M charges shall be based upon the actual costs incurred by the City during those
specific months. If there are multiple users of the customized system, the costs shall be shared
proportionately between the users based upon the actual monthly flows of each user during that
period. Other O&M charges and minimum monthly charges shall be in addition to the base
O&M charges calculated in 13.41 A.020(1)(a) above.
b) Annual adjustment. It is the intent of this chapter that the industrial users of the
Process Water Reuse Facilities pay the actual operation and maintenance (O&M) costs incurred
by the City to operate the Process Water Reuse Facilities. Therefore, the O&M costs incurred
from the discharge from each industrial user will be reviewed on an annual basis and the actual
operating costs for both the base O&M charges and the other O&M charges will be determined.
The difference between the amount paid for O&M, on a monthly basis, and the actual O&M
costs incurred shall be determined by the City. The difference determined shall either be rebated
to or collected from the industrial user(s) using the Process Water Reuse Facilities. In order to
assist the City and industrial user(s) the City Finance Director and the Director of Public Works
shall after each calendar quarter prepare a summary of revenues received and expenses incurred
during the previous quarter, as well as a forecast (to the extent reasonably possible) of revenues
and expenses for the next quarter.
C) Overage charges/effluent characteristics. The Process Water Reuse Facility has a
fluctuating and finite capacity to accept process wastewater. Therefore, the base monthly charge
has been calculated to include a capacity and limitation allowance for the following effluent
volumes, strengths and characteristics: The limits are set forth in the City of Pasco Waste
Discharge Permit No. 5388 issued by the State of Washington Department of Ecology(SWDOE)
and the individual waste discharge permits of the customers. Each customer shall be monitored
for compliance to the approved flows and loading rates. Based on the usage limitations in
Section 13.41A.040, consecutive 15-day allowances for the following characteristics will be
monitored for each customer.
Characteristics
Volume/Hydraulic- (Millions of Gallons)
Bio-Chemical Oxygen Demand [BOD] (lbs.)
Total Suspended Solids [TSS] (lbs.)
Total Nitrogen [TN] (lbs.)
The time periods for determination of daily and consecutive 15-day totals for each
characteristic shall be for the twenty-four hour period starting at 1:00 a.m. and ending at 12:59
a.m. The time periods for determination of consecutive 15-day allowance periods shall be a
rolling time period during the entire year.
The overage charges to be assessed to and paid monthly by the industrial user when
exceeding the 15-day allowance limitation set forth above shall be for the following categories,
each rate as set forth in Chanter 3.07 of this code as fellows:
Characteristics Overage Rate
Volume/Hydraulic Mr$800.00/MG
(Millions of Gallons)
Bio-Chemical Oxygen per$443/ lb.
Demand(BOD)
Total Suspended Solids Mr$0.01 /lb.
(TSS)
Total Nitrogen Mr$0:90/ lb.
(TN
d) Nothing within this Chapter shall preclude the right of the City and the City
Manager to negotiate a special O&M rate, or contract rate with an individual customer or
industrial user of the system.
3) Capital Charges. a) Capital charges are related to all outstanding debt of the
Process Water Reuse Facility which should be shared by all users of the facility. In addition,
capital charges may also include any budgeted and City Council approved capital improvements
to the Process Water Reuse Facility, the cost of which is to be shared by all users of the system,
and is to be funded from current user rates. The total annual capital charges shall be determined
at the start of the calendar year, and allocated to each user on the basis of their proportionate
share of the total permitted combined annual flows. Total combined annual flows shall be
determined based upon the maximum flow allowed in each user's State of Washington, State
Waste Discharge Permit, in compliance with RCW 90.48 and WAC 173-216, and which has also
been approved by the City. A user's annual charge shall be the user's permitted maximum
annual flows divided by the combined permitted flows or the minimum charge, whichever is
greater. Capital charges shall be paid in twelve (12) equal monthly payments. The minimum
annual capital charge for any single user of the facility shall be as set forth in Chapter 3.07 of this
code $12,000.00.
4) Customized Specific Capital Charges.
a) User Specific Capital Charges. Capital projects, which benefit a single user, shall be
directly assigned to, and paid for by, the benefiting user. In instances where a capital project
benefits more than one user, but not all users of the facility, the capital charges shall be prorated
between the users based upon a proportionate share of the total combined annual flows of the
benefiting users. User customized capital charges shall be determined at the start of the calendar
year, and payments shall be made in twelve (12) equal monthly payments. User customized
capital charges shall be in addition to the Capital Charges as calculated in Section
