REFERENCE(S): 1 Draft Ordinance II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 10/24: DISCUSSION 11107: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No , establishing rates and regulations for the use of the Industrial Wastewater System III. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) The industrial wastewater system is a land application disposal system being constructed by the city for the Pasco Processing Center, it will collect and dispose of process wastewater generated by food processing plants to be located at the Processing Center, the first of which will be the Simplot vegetable plant B) The City Council must establish, by Ordinance, the rates to be charged users of the system IV. DISCUSSION: A) The draft Ordinance provides for a two-part monthly fee The first and largest component will be what is termed the "fixed charge", it reflects the capitalized expenses to construct the wastewater system The second component will be the "variable charge", it reflects the estimated costs of operating the system The Ordinance further provides that, at the end of each calendar year, the actual operating costs will be balanced against what was actually received through the variable charge during the year, any difference will be reconciled between the city and the users of the system B) The Ordinance further provides for an overage charge, to be assessed in those instances when a user exceeds its permitted maximum flow to the system This element of the Ordinance reflects the need to manage not only the amount of wastewater coming into the system, but also its characteristics, this is important because of the land application component of the system (, )
