ORDINANCE # 183
AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO THE DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION, USE AND SERVICE OF A SEWERAGE SYSTEM; FOR A SYSTEM OF CHARGES AND FEES AGAINST THE PROPERTY AND PERSONS THEREBY BENEFITED AND THE FIXING OF SAID CHARGES, FEES AND RATES; FOR THE COLLECTION OF SAID CHARGE FEES; FOR PENALTIES: THE REPEAL OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 154.
This Ordinance shall be cited as the Idaho City Sewer Ordinance.
Section 1. USERS LIABLE FOR VIOLATION: No user of the City sewer service shall permit or allow any person from any other premises or any unauthorized person to discharge sewage into said system, and the permit to connect with the sewer system shall be limited to the person and the premises designated in the permit. Any violation of this Section by either the permit holder or an unauthorized person shall be deemed a misdemeanor. Any such violations shall be grounds for the City to withhold sewer service until a separate service connection is put in for each user.
Section 2. MAINTENANCE OF LINES: All users of the sewer system shall keep their pipe connections and other apparatus in good repair and protected from freezing at their own expense, but no person, except under the direction of the City, shall be allowed to dig into the street, alley, sidewalk or easement beneath which the lateral and trunk line sewers run, or to tap into any such lateral or trunk line in any manner.
Section 3. POINT OF LIABILITY FOR MAINTENANCE: All
users shall have the responsibility of, and be liable for, and shall pay for, all costs and expenses of maintaining their own sewer lines extending from their property until such sewer lines pass the vertical plane of the user's property line or until they reach City sewer lines, whichever point is reached last. This liability of the user shall include the entire sewer service connection apparatus and plumbing equipment and materials. Thus, the City's end point of liability for maintenance shall be at such point as the City service line connects to the user's sewer service connection, and not thereafter, with the user having complete responsibility for the sewer service connection to the City sewer lines.
This Section shall not be construed to be in conflict with Section 2, which states that no person shall be allowed to dig into the street, alley, sidewalk or easement beneath which the lateral and trunk line sewers run or tap into any such lateral or trunk line in any manner without the City's direction and authorization, in that such person shall still have to contact the City to obtain its permission to perform work within the street, alley, sidewalk or easement for which the user is liable.
Section 4. CITY NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGE OR SHORTAGE: The City shall not be held liable for damages to any sewer user by reason of a stoppage, blockage, backup or other interruption of his sewer disposal service caused by accidents to the works, alterations, additions or repairs to the sewer system or from other unavoidable causes beyond the control of the City.

Unless a special permit is granted by the City, all City sewerage system extensions into newly developing areas shall be installed prior to the construction of any new streets.
All design and construction of any extensions to the City sewerage system shall comply with the official
ORD. #183
specifications for sewerage system extensions as adopted by the City.
The plans for all extensions to the sewerage system shall be prepared and signed by a registered professional engineer as per the licensing requirements of the Idaho Code. Two (2) copies of the said plans shall be filed with the City. Two (2) copies of the plans shall be filed with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare for their review and approval as required by the Idaho Code. In approving a plan for extension to the City sewerage system, the City reserves the right to stipulate other requirements such as a special permit fee, rights of way limits, sequence of construction, time limits for having existing service disrupted, the filing of a performance bond and other similar measures as may be required to protect the public. No work shall commence on any such extension of the City sewerage system until the extension project has been approved by the City.
After the construction of any City sewer system extensions, it shall be the obligation of the owner, or his agent, to have a registered professional engineer certify to the City and to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare that the said system extensions were installed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications on file with the respective agencies. Said certification shall include, but not be limited to, the date and time the registered professional engineer observed the sewer line testing and the method that was used during the tests. Data collected through the tests shall be submitted with the certification. Following certification by the
ORD. #183
registered professional engineer and acceptance by the City, the entire extension of the City sewerage system, including the City sewer service lines, shall become the property of the City and it shall be the City's responsibility to maintain and operate the system thereafter.
If it is necessary for the City to permit a sewer service connection and/or sewer service line at any time after the extension has been originally accepted by the City, the owner or his agent shall be required to pay the sewer hookup fee as well as the standard permit and inspection fees as may be established by the City for such purposes.
Section 22. SEWER LINE REIMBURSEMENT: In the event a sewer line is extended pursuant to Section 21 so that the sewer system is available to an owner or agent of property who has not paid for such extension, the City shall either:
(A) Require said owner or agent to participate in his pro rata costs of extension, or
(B) Require said owner or agent to reimburse the party paying for the extension a prorated share of the extension cost, if connection to the extended line is made within 10 years of extension.
Prorated contributions under this Section shall be decided by the City's engineer based upon (1) the total costs of the sewer extension, (2) the size and location of the property, and (3) the volume of flow to be generated by the property.
Section 23. BASIS FOR SEWER CHARGES: There is hereby established a system of connector charges, permit and inspection
ORD. #183 97
fees, industrial cost recovery charges, periodic service charges and other fees for the use of, and for service rendered by the sewerage works of the City, and which charges, rates and fees shall be, as near as possible, uniform as to the different classes of property served by said sewerage works. The rates, charges and fees provided by this Ordinance are hereby levied and assessed against each lot, parcel of land, building or property having any connection with the sanitary sewerage works of the City or otherwise discharging sanitary sewage, industrial wastewater or other liquids directly into the sanitary sewerage works of said City. The rates, charges and fees shall be billed to and paid by the owner of each lot, parcel of land, building or property served by the sewerage system.
It is specifically enacted that all property in the City to which a public sewer is available and is required to connect to the sewer as required in Section 11, but is not used by the owner or occupier of said parcel of land, is still subject to user charges under the provisions of this Ordinance.
All charges and fees under this Ordinance may be modified by the City and shall be reviewed biannually.
Section 24. SEWER USER CHARGES AND CONNECTION FEES: The monthly sewer user rates for sanitary sewer service in the City, as hereafter developed in accordance with Section 23 of this Ordinance, are based on a flat rate as determined by present expenses plus additional capital improvement, depreciation or replacement charges, and operating costs of the upgraded sewer and treatment facilities. Residential homeowners' sanitary sewer
ORD. #183 28
user charges will be based on a flat rate charge per dwelling. Multiple living units user charges shall be based on a flat rate per living unit. (All other users such as commercial and industrial shall be based on the number of equivalent connections associated with that business, or the industrial costs recovery system, whichever is applicable pursuant to this Ordinance.) Any change in use shall be subject to application of appropriate fees under this Ordinance. The property owner or agent shall notify City of any change in use. The user charge system is based on the following:
(A) The sanitary sewer user charge shall be ten dollars ($10.00) per month per equivalent connection.
(B) An equivalent connection shall be defined as one (1) single dwelling residential unit with approximately twenty-one (21) fixture units as defined in the Uniform Building Code.
(C) The sewer connection fees and charges are based on the following schedule. All other users will require special appraisal and will be computed on an individual basis.

Section 25. SEWER, CONNECTION, PERMIT AND INSPECTION:
To obtain City sewer service, the owner or his agent shall make application on a special form furnished by the City. The permit application shall be supplemented by any plans, specifications or other information considered pertinent in the judgment of the City. A permit and inspection fee shall be paid to the City at the time the application is filed. Also, the owner or his agent
ORD. #183
shall pay to the City, at the time the application is filed, a connection charge in the amount as provided for in Section 26. The amount of the permit and inspection fee shall be determined by the City.
The materials of construction of the sewer service line and the methods to be used in excavating, placing of the pipe, jointing, testing and backfilling of the trench and surface replacement shall all conform to the requirements of specifications and codes as have been or may be adopted by the City.
A separate and independent City sewer service connection shall be provided for each building.
The applicant for the City sewer service connection shall notify the City when the connection of the sewer service connection and line to the public sewer main is ready for inspection.
Section 26. SEWER CONNECTION CHARGE: The owner, or his agent, of all properties connecting to the public sewer of the City under the terms of this Ordinance shall pay a sewer connection charge of NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($900.00) for each equivalent connection or fraction thereof as may be assigned to the property by the City. Such charge is based upon the actual City sewerage system capital costs of providing sewer service divided by the number of projected connections.
Section 27. INDUSTRIAL USER CHARGE: All industrial user charges shall be established by separate agreement between each separate contributing industry and the City. All charges so
ORD. #183
established shall be in proportion to the benefits derived by the user from the sewerage system. The charges so established shall generate sufficient revenue to pay the operation and maintenance of the sewerage system, and the industrial cost recovery charges. The charges shall be based on the amount of flow (Q), the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), the suspended solids (SS) and any other pertinent components of the wastes that the industrial user is contributing to the sewerage system.
(A) All contributing industrial user charges shall be reviewed biannually and revised as necessary to insure that each contributing industrial user pays its allocable share. If the discharge of a contributing industrial user changes significantly, greater than ten percent (10%) plus or minus, (by strength, volume, delivery flow rate or other pertinent component characteristics) such industrial user's charge shall be adjusted accordingly to assure that the user continues to pay its allocable share.
(B) Contributing industrial users discharging pretreated process wastes into the sewerage system shall pay industrial user charges based on the characteristics of the waste effluent from the pretreatment facilities.
(C) The amount of payment required from an industry for industrial user charges is to be the sum of the operation and maintenance charges and the industrial cost recovery charges.
(D) Actions for nonpayment will be in accordance with Section 32 of this Ordinance.
Section 28. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE CHARGES: The
ORD. #183
amount of payment required from an industry for operation and maintenance charges is to be determined by the following procedure:
(A) The operation and maintenance charges shall be allocated in proportion to the benefit of the proposed facility to each wastewater characteristic as follows:
Q = 70% of Operation and Maintenance Costs BOD = 16% of Operation and Maintenance Costs SS = 14% of Operation and Maintenance Costs
The operation and maintenance costs of any future expansion, upgrading or reconstruction of the waste treatment facility shall be allocated in proportion to the benefit of the said improvement to any wastewater characteristic so benefited at that time.
(B) The total cost per unit of each characteristic shall be calculated as follows:
Q Unit Cost = Percent of Operation and (Operation and Maintenance Cost)(Maintenance Cost Allocated Q) (Total Design Flow of Facility in Gallons per Day)
BOD Unit Cost = Percent of Operation and (Operation and Maintenance Cost)(Maintenance Cost Allocated BOD) (Total Design BOD Capacity of Facility in Pounds per Day)
SS Unit Cost = Percent of Operation and (Operation and Maintenance Cost)(Maintenance Cost Allocated SS) (Total Design SS Capability of Facility in Pounds per Day)
(C) The cost to an industry for the operation and maintenance portion of the user charge is calculated as follows:
Annual O & M Cost =
(Annual Q contributed by Industry)(Q Unit Cost) + (Annual BOD contributed by Industry)(BOD Unit Cost)
ORD. #183
+ (Annual SS contributed by Industry)(SS Unit Cost) Monthly O & M Cost = Annual O & M Cost 12
(D) For small contributing industrial concerns where it is impractical to develop a monitoring program to measure wasteload discharges, operation and maintenance charges may be made on the basis of estimated flows alone, provided that the industry does not discharge an excessive strength waste that may disrupt the treatment process as determined by the City. The operation and maintenance payments will be calculated on a similar basis as described herein, except that one hundred percent (100%) of the operation and maintenance cost will be allocated to flow.
(E) Payments for operation and maintenance charges shall begin within a month of the date of initiation of service by the industry of the treatment facility. Operation and maintenance charges shall be reviewed annually and adjustments based upon the actual O & M costs attributable to the industry and the actual O & M payments received from the industry for the previous year shall be made. The O & M charge rate for industrial users shall be adjusted at that time to reflect the actual O & M costs of the previous year.
Section 29. INDUSTRIAL COST RECOVERY: All contributing industrial users of the sewerage system shall make industrial cost recovery payments according to the following:
(A) The City may permit contributing industrial users to reserve extra or additional capacity in the sewerage system
ORD. #183
for future use by the industry. Such capacity shall be reserved through formal, written agreement and shall be subject to pertinent industrial cost recovery regulations. The industrial user shall be required to apply the full industrial cost recovery allocable to the capacity reserved. In the event that the City has unused capacity in its sewerage system available for use and the said industrial user is permitted by the City to exceed its agreed upon reserved capacity, the industry shall be required to pay industrial cost recovery calculated on the full reserved capacity plus the additional industrial costs recovery for the use above the limits of the original agreed upon reserve capacity or any element thereof.
(B) All contributing industrial users shall be required to pay any additional cost recovery charges associated with the cost of future upgrading the treatment works as may be required of the City to comply with waste discharge requirements.
(C) Industrial cost recovery for expansion of the treatment works shall be required from those industries which have exceeded their reserved capacity and have been a contributing factor to the need for expansion. Industrial cost recovery payments will be required for that portion of the expanded capacity which is allocable to the industrial users discharge.
(D) The amount of payment required from an industry for industrial cost recovery is to be determined by the following procedure:
1. The value of the treatment facility shall be
ORD. #183
allocated in proportion to the benefit of the facility to each wastewater characteristic as follows:
Q = 70% of Present Worth Value of Treatment Facilities BOD = 16% of Present Worth Value of Treatment Facilities SS = 14% of Present Worth Value of Treatment Facilities
The value of any future expansion, upgrading or reconstruction of the waste treatment facility shall be allocated in proportion to the benefit of the said improvement to any wastewater characteristic so benefited at that time.
2. The present worth value of the facilities at any time shall be based on the following formula:
Present Worth Value of Facilities = Present Engineering (Construction Cost)(News-Record Construction Cost Index) (Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index at Time of Construction)
3. The total cost per unit of each characteristic shall be calculated as follows:
Q Unit Cost = Percent of Present Worth Value of (Present Worth Value of Facilities)(Facilities Allocated to Q) (Total Design Flow of Facility in Gallons per Day)
BOD Unit Cost = Percent of Present Worth Value of (Present Worth Value of Facilities)(Facilities Allocated to BOD) (Total Design BOD Capability of Facility in Pounds per Day)
SS Unit Cost = Percent of Present Worth Value of (Present Worth Value of Facilities)(Facilities Allocated to SS) (Total Design SS Capability of Facility in Pounds per Day)
4. The cost to an industry for industrial cost recovery (ICR) is calculated as follows:
Total ICR Cost =
ORD. #183
(Industry's Final Reserved Amount of Q)(Q Unit Cost) + (Industry's Final Reserved Amount of BOD)(BOD Unit Cost) + (Industry's Final Reserved Amount of SS)(SS Unit Cost)
The total ICR cost shall be paid back according to the following payment schedule:
(a) An industry shall pay, within one month of initiation of sewage treatment service, a lump sum payment equal to the present worth value of the portion of the treatment facility that the industry is utilizing for waste treatment at the time of the agreement, according to the formulas for said payment stated hereafter.
ICR Payment (Initial Contribution) =
(Industry's Initial Amount of Q)(Q Unit Cost) + (Industry's Initial Amount of BOD)(BOD Unit Cost) + (Industry's Initial Amount of SS)(SS Unit Cost)
(b) An industry may reserve a portion of the treatment facility exceeding the portion utilized for waste treatment at the time of the agreement. The ICR payments for the reserve portion of the treatment facilities shall be paid back over the period of time estimated to be necessary to utilize the full amount of the reserved portion according to the following formula:
ICR Payment (Reserve Portion) =
(Industry's Final Reserved - Industry's Initial)(Q Unit Cost) Amount of Q Amount of Q + (Industry's Final Reserved - Industry's Initial)(BOD Unit Cost) Amount of BOD Amount of BOD + (Industry's Final Reserved - Industry's Initial)(SS Unit Cost) Amount of SS Amount of SS
ORD. #183
Monthly ICR Payment = Total ICR Payment (Reserve Portion) (Estimated Number of Months to Reach Reserve Capacity of Sewerage System)
The time period to reach the reserve capacity of the system is subject to negotiations and the City reserves the right to limit the time period for utilizing the reserve capacity. ICR payments for the reserve portion of the treatment facilities shall begin within a month of the date of initiation of service by the industry of the treatment facility.
(c) For small contributing industrial concerns where it is impractical to develop a monitoring program to measure wasteload discharges, industrial cost recovery payments may be made on the basis of estimated flows alone, provided that the industry does not discharge an excessive strength waste that may disrupt the treatment process as determined by the City. The industrial cost recovery payments will be calculated on a similar basis as described herein, except that one hundred percent (100%) of the present worth value of the facilities shall be allocated to flow.
(d) All industrial cost recovery payments collected from industry and paid to the City shall be allocated according to the following:
(i) All ICR payments based on the original construction cost shall be used to pay off the bonded indebtedness.
(ii) For any ICR payments based on a present worth value of the treatment facilities which is higher than the original construction cost, the amount of the payment
ORD. #183 39
corresponding to the original construction cost shall be used to pay off the bonded indebtedness, and any amount exceeding the portion assigned to the original construction cost shall be deposited in a capital improvement fund to provide for future capital improvements to the sewerage treatment plant.
(e) Action for nonpayment will be in accordance with Section 32.
Section 30. SPECIAL SEWER USER CHARGE FOR OUTSIDE THE CITY BOUNDARY: The City may permit the use of the sewerage system by individual properties that are partially or entirely outside the city limits. Each request for such service must be approved by the City and all regulations of this Ordinance must be complied with by such special sewer user. The sewer user will be considered a special user as long as the property being served remains outside the City. In addition to all other charges and fees as are required to be paid by any sewer user, including industrial users, the special sewer user may be charged a supplemental monthly user charge that will be to reimburse the City for any other costs to the City that are attributable to administering, operating and/or maintaining the said special sewer user service. Such charges shall not be arbitrarily higher than for City users, but shall be based upon additional costs herein before mentioned attributable to non-city use. Any request for service outside the city limits shall also be accompanied by a written request for annexation to the City.
Section 31. MONTHLY USER CHARGES; WHEN DUE AND PAYABLE: All monthly sewer charges shall be due and payable from the owner
ORD. #183
to the Clerk between the first and tenth day of each month for billing from the previous cycle. For new construction, this would be when the service connection has been inspected and approved or when the building being served is substantially completed, whichever is the latest date. Upon failure to pay the same, as prescribed, each user shall pay, in addition to the amount due, a penalty charge of ONE DOLLAR ($1.00) or ten percent (10%) of charges due, whichever is greater.
Section 32. DELINQUENCY NOTICE: If a sewer user has not paid his monthly charges by the tenth of the month, it shall be deemed delinquent. The City shall notify the sewer user of the delinquency, and if the charges are not paid within ten (10) days after the delinquency notice, an additional penalty of ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS ($1.50) or fifteen percent (15%) of charges due, whichever is greater, will be added to the account. All delinquent charges or fees, as provided by this Ordinance, not paid after the final determination of the sewer user's account shall be imposed as a lien against and upon the property or premises against which such charge or fee is levied or assessed, and the Clerk shall certify such delinquencies together with all penalties to the Tax Collector of Boise County, Idaho and when so certified the same shall be a lien upon the property and will be collectable as other taxes.
The owner of any property leaving a delinquency in sewer fees at any location shall not be entitled to the use of the sewerage system at any new location until all fee delinquencies are paid.
ORD. #183
Section 33. SEWERAGE SYSTEM FUND: All fees and charges received and collected under authority of this Ordinance shall be deposited and credited to the Sewerage System Fund. The accounts of said Fund shall show all receipts and expenditures for the maintenance, operation, upkeep and repair of the sewerage works and any payments into sinking funds as may be established for the purpose of:
(A) Paying principal and interest on the sewer bonds of the City which shall from time to time be outstanding.
(B) Sewerage capital improvement fund for industrial cost recovery payments that are to be used exclusively for future expansion, upgrading or reconstruction on the sewage system.
(C) Administrative expenses that are incurred in the operation and administration of the sewer system.
(D) Other special funds as may be established by the City.
As provided by law, when budgeted and appropriated, the funds and credits to the account of the Sewerage System Fund shall be available for the payment of the requirements for the maintenance, operation, repairs and upkeep of the sewerage works of the City and, for payment into the sinking fund established for the payment of the principal of and interest of the sewer bonds of the City which shall from time to time be outstanding.
A summary of the Sewerage System Fund revenue and expenditures shall be provided at the close of each fiscal year to all sewer rate payors. Additionally, any rate payor is entitled to inspect at the City Clerk's Office the records or
ORD. #183
documentation indicating how his or her rate has been calculated.
A proposed budget of the Sewerage System Fund is attached hereto as Addendum A.
Section 34. UNAVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC SEWER: Where a public sanitary sewer is not available under the provisions of this Ordinance; the building sewer shall be connected to a private sewer disposal system complying with all rules, regulations, standards and recommendations of any local, state or federal authority having jurisdiction over such matters. The City exercises no rights or responsibilities pertaining to the private disposal of sewage.
(A) At such time as a public sewer becomes available to property served by a private sewage disposal system, a direct connection shall be made to the public sewer in compliance with this Ordinance and any septic tank, cesspool or similar private sewage disposal facilities shall be abandoned and filled with suitable material.
(B) Septic tank pumpings shall not be deposited in any manhole, cleanout or sewer opening.
Section 35. PENALTIES: Any person found to be violating any provision of this Ordinance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
Any person violating any of the provisions of this Ordinance shall become liable to the City for any expense, loss or damage occasioned the City by reason of such violation.
