Any user may make written application to the director in accordance with Section 13.48.060 and present evidence that a substantial portion of the metered water has been diverted or consumed and not discharged into the sewer.

C. Should any user believe that he has been incorrectly assigned to a particular user class or incorrectly assigned a wastewater volume or should any user believe that a portion of his metered flow is not discharged into the sewerage system, that user may apply for review of his user charge as provided in Section 13.48.060.

D. Should the director determine that a user is incorrectly assigned to a user class or incorrectly assigned a wastewater volume, the director shall assign a more appropriate user class or wastewater volume to that user and shall notify that user of such reassignment.

E. The sewer user charge for all occupied property shall begin sixty (60) days after the sewer service becomes available or the day that connection is made to the public sewer, whichever occurs first. The sewer user charge for all unoccupied property shall begin within thirty (30) days after the property is ready for occupancy or on the first day of occupancy, whichever occurs first. All unoccupied property which is ready for occupancy at the time the sewer service becomes available shall be treated as occupied property. Once the sewer user charge has commenced, no credit shall be given for vacancy unless it can be demonstrated that water service to that property from any and all sources has been discontinued. The regular user charge shall be reinstated as soon as water service to that property from any source has begun. If the dates upon which the user charge is commenced or altered does not fall on the first day of a billing period, the rates shall be appropriately prorated.

F. Effective September 1st, 1999, a sewer rate surcharge equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the normal sewer rate shall be applied to each user who discharges extraneous flow to the sewer system. Payment of the sewer rate surcharge for the discharge of extraneous flow shall be a charge for services and shall be in addition to other penalties imposed pursuant to chapter 1.12 AMC and 13.52 and shall not relieve a user from the responsibility to comply with Orders to Correct Violation or Notices of Civil Violations issued pursuant to chapter 1.12 AMC or notices to repair side sewers issued pursuant to chapter 13.52 AMC. The regular user charge shall be reinstated as soon as the director determines that the user has taken appropriate steps to eliminate the discharge of extraneous flow. (Prior code § 10.16.020)
