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

system.

of sewerage of the city, whereby the sewerage or industri
al 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 schedule, 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.
