David Anders responded by stating that it depended on potential wastewater discharge. Larry Peart stated that there would be a surcharge for commercial and industrial customers if the strength was greater than normal and that customers in this category will be separate. David Anders stated that wholesale customers are not sampled because their manholes were not installed for automated sampling program. A specific customer inside the wholesale class could be charged but not the wholesale customers as a whole. Maria Alicia Garcia stated that residential customers are not being charged a surcharge.
Industrial customers are lower than that because of the pretreatment of their wastewater.
David Anders responded that he would have to research and give it to him later. Lanetta Cooper brought up the discussion of how the city plans on handling decentralized sewer costs. Nancy Matchus then asked Lanetta to define what she meant by decentralized sewers. Maria Alicia responded that the costs of these systems is unknown so it can't be decided how to be allocated to customers. It was then asked if there would be separate utilities for decentralized systems and Maria Alicia responded that at this time the only separate system is reuse.
