ARTICLE I. IN GENERAL
Sec. 20-1. Purpose and Policy
These Wastewater Discharge Regulations set uniform requirements for
discharges into the City of Lodi wastewater collection and treatment system
to enable the City to comply with the administrative provisions of the Clean
Water Grant Regulations, water quality requirements set by the Regional
Water Quality Control Board and the applicable effluent limitations, national
standards of performance, toxic and pretreatment effluent standards, and
any other discharge criteria which are required or authorized by state or
federal law, and to derive the maximum public benefit by regulating the
quality and quantity of wastewater discharged into those systems.

ARTICLE 111. SEWER SERVICE CHARGES AND CONNECTION FEES
Sec. 20-16. Classification
All users shall be classified for wastewater collection, treatment, and
disposal purposes in accordance with the principle activity conducted upon
the premise, as determined by the Public Works Director. The purpose of
classification is to facilitate the regulation of wastewater discharge based
on quantity and quality of flow, to provide an effective means of industrial
waste source control, and to establish a system of sewage service charges
and connection fees which will insure, but not be limited to, the recovery
of City capital, operating and maintenance costs in an equitable manner.
Sec. 20-17. Domestic System Service Charges
Charges for use of the domestic system shall be determined by the volume,
biochemical oxygen (BOD), and suspended solids (SS) wastes discharged.
Those residential, commercial, and industrial users whose discharge of wastes
classify them as a moderate strength user and those dischargers of industrial
and commercial wastes that classify as high-strength users shall pay charges
as determined herein. Determination of the category for each specific user
shall be made by the Public Works Director.
1. All moderate-strength users shall be assigned sewage service units.
The minimum sewage service units assigned to any commercial and industrial
user shall be 1.0 unit.
The cost of treating one sewage service unit is calculated annually
by dividing the total operating, maintenance, and capital costs of
wastewater facilities allocated to moderate-strength users by the total
number of units. Service charges for moderate-strength users shall
be determined by multiplying the cost of one sewage service unit by
the number of sewage service units assigned to each user.
a. Residential user sewage service units shall be based upon the
number of bedrooms per dwelling unit as follows:

service'charge.

The unit cost for each of the above characteristics shall be determined
by: 1) distributing the total capital, operation, and maintenance
cost between moderate-strength and high-strength users, 2) proportion
the annual costs for high-strength users among various characteristics,
and 3) divide the total annual cost for each characteristic by the
total quantity discharged by the high-strength users.
The sewage service charge shall be determined by multiplying the unit
cost by the annual quantity of each characteristic.
Sec. 20-18. Domestic System Connection Fees
The connection fee shall cover the proportionate capital cost associated
with the existing unused treatment facility capacity which will be utilized
by the new discharger.

High-strength user connection fees shall be based on a unit rate for
the cost of treating flow, BOD, and SS. The estimated annual quantities
of each characteristic shall be justified to, and approved by, the Public
Works Director for the purpose of determining the connection fee.
Any discharger, after one full year of operating data is available,
may request the Public Works Director to make an adjustment, or the
Public Works Director may institute an adjustment, if a significant
variation exists between the estimated and actual quantities for each
characteristic. Increases in connection fees shall be due and payable
on demand at the time the Public Works Director makes the fee adjustment
and decreases will be credited.
Sec. 20-19. Industrial System Service Charges
Industrial system sewage service charges shall be determined based upon
the actual quantity of flow and BOD discharge annually.
each characteristic will be determined annually and multiplied by each user's
measured effluent characteristics. The total of the two characteristic
fees shall be the annual sewage service charge.
The unit cost for
The unit cost for each characteristic shall be determined by distributing
the total operation, maintenance, and capital costs to each characteristic.
at a proportionate rate and dividing each proportionate cost by the total
annual quantity of each characteristic discharged to the system.
Sec. 20-20. Industrial System Connection Fees
Fees shall be determined on an individual basis by the Public Works Director
and shall be, in part, based upon the value of existing capacity to be utilized
-15-
and/or the cost of providing additional new capacity. The connection fee
shall be based on a unit rate for the cost of treating flow and BOD.
Sec. 20-21. Storm Drain Service Charges
The rate for disposal of storm waters, swimming pool discharges, or wash
waters into the City's storm drains will be established by resolution.
The City shall estimate and determine the amount of storm, swimming pool,
or wash waters deposited into the City's storm drains unless the user of
the service elects to provide, install, and maintain in good working order
an integrating meter satisfactory to the City for the purposes of measuring
such storm, swimming pool, or wash waters.
In determining the amount of storm, swimming pool, or wash waters deposited
into the City's storm drains, no charge shall be made for the storm waters
or minor irrigation waters drainage from roofs, pavements, or hard-surfaced
areas within the City limits. Where such drainage is metered along with
wash water, a credit of twelve hundred and fifty gallons per year for each
one hundred square feet, as projected and measured upon a horizontal plane,
of such drainage area tributary to the meter shall be allowed. Where roofs
or other areas are sprinkled or flushed, such flushing or sprinkling waters
shall be included in the quantities for billing purposes. For areas outside
the corporate limits of the City tributary to the City's storm drains, storm
waters shall be included in the quantities determined for billing purposes
