ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
AMENDING CHAPTER 15.08
ESTABLISHING WASTEWATER COLLECTION
RATES AND CHARGES
The CITY COUNCIL of the CITY OF BURLINGAME does hereby ordain as follows:
Section 1. Notice of proposed revisions to the sewer rates and of the public hearing on
the proposed rates was mailed to each property owner in the City and to tenants paying utility
bills, and duly published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City. The City Council,
after public hearing and due study and deliberation, has determined that the price of sewer
service to customers must be increased to balance increased costs and improvements and to fund
necessary reconstruction. In construction and maintenance of the City sewer system, the City
general fund has contributed significant amounts of money to build, maintain, and operate the
system.
Section 2. Section 15.08.070 of the Burlingame Municipal Code is hereby amended to
read as follows:
15.08.070 Sewer rental—Service charges.
(a) Every person whose premises in the city are served by a connection with the system
of sewerage of the city, whereby the sewerage or industrial wastes, or either or both, are disposed
by the city, shall pay a bimonthly sewer charge based upon the quantity of metered water per
bimonthly billing period as set forth in the following rate schedules, whether such water is
derived from a source other than city water supply or all or part of such water is furnished to the
premises without charge. The director of public works shall determine the classification of uses
not specifically listed. The finance director shall have the discretion and authority to establish a
different sewer charge when circumstances such as water leaks or unseasonable or atypical water
usage cause established rates to result in inequitably low or high sewer charges; any such
determination shall be reviewed by the city manager upon request from the customer.
