tained at the user's expense and in a manner
acceptable to the City. (3) The minimum charge
per month shall be $3.00 for the first 100

(a) a treatment user charge rate for operation
and maintenance, including replacement, of
$0.24/100 cu. ft. of water used per month, (b)
a sewer user charge rate for operation and
maintenance, including replacement, of
$0.30/100 cu. ft. of water used per month, (c)
a cappital charge rate for debt retirement of
$.87/100 cu. ft. of water used per month The
sewer user charge and the capital charge may be
adjusted to better reflect actual benefit to

normal user charge will be collected. The
surcharge for operation and maintenance includ-
ing replacement is:
