§ 23-30. Industrial user.

(b)

The industrial user connection charge shall be ten dollars ($10.00) per fixture unit according to the following values:

Fixture Drain  Trap Size	Fixture Unit Value
1¼ inches or smaller .....	1
1½ inches .....	2
2  inches .....	3
2½ inches .....	4
3  inches .....	5
4  inches .....	6
8  inches .....	10
10 inches .....	12

 

For a continuous or semi-continuous flow add two (2) fixture units for each gallon/minute flow.

(c)

The industrial user connection charge shall include all costs incurred by the parish government for the construction and/or modification of the existing public sewer system to accommodate the needs of the industrial user.

(d)

The industrial user connection charge based on fixture unit count shall be paid in full when the application for sewer service is made.

(e)

Users which are determined by the parish government or the E.P.A. to be contributors of wastewater whose whole volume or strength is other than of a domestic character shall be subject to a monthly industrial cost recovery charge as derived in accordance with the following formula:

IMP = ( [G _v ° C _v ] ° L _v ) IMC _v + ( [G _BOD ° C _BOD ] ° L _BOD ) IMC _BOD + ( [G _ss ° C _ss ] ° L _ss ) IMC _ss

Where:

IMP	=	Industry monthly payment
G v	=	Parish government's amount allocated to volume cost component
C v	=	Monthly capacity of plant element allocated to volume cost component
L v	=	Life of plant element allocated to volume cost component expressed in months (not to exceed three hundred sixty (360) months, or thirty (30) years)
IMC v	=	Industry monthly contributed sewage volume
G BOD	=	Parish government's amount allocated to B.O.D. cost component
C BOD	=	Monthly capacity of plant element allocated to B.O.D. cost component
L BOD	=	Life of plant elements allocated to B.O.D. cost component expressed in months (not to exceed three hundred sixty (360) months or thirty (30) years)
IMC BOD	=	Industry monthly contributed B.O.D.
G ss	=	Parish government's amount allocated to suspended solids cost component
C ss	=	Monthly capacity of plant element allocated to suspended solids cost component
L ss	=	Life of plant element allocated to suspended solids cost components, expressed in months (not to exceed three hundred sixty (360) months, or thirty (30) years)
IMC ss	=	Industry monthly contributed suspended solids

 

(f)

The values for the formula given in paragraph (e) shall be the following:

IMP v	=	Contained in each industrial waste water discharge permit
G v = 0		C v = 0
IMC	=	Contained in each industrial waste water discharge permit
G BOD =		C BOD = 0        L BOD = 0
IMC BOD	=	Contained in each industrial waste water discharge permit
G ss = 0		C ss = 0          L ss = 0
IMC ss	=	Contained in each Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit

 

These values shall be revised and reviewed annually.

(g)

The industrial user shall be responsible for costs incurred by the parish government in connection with tests as required in section 23-27(i).

(h)

The industrial user, with prior written approval of the parish government, may conduct such tests as may be required by the parish government and may submit written reports of the results of such tests certifying that the results are true and correct.
