Such surcharges shall be in addition to the
HOME RULE BOROUGH OF EDINBORO COUNCIL MEETING
Page 15 January 2, 2001
regular sewer service charge and shall be payable as hereinafter provided in the amount hereinafter provided.
The strength of any industrial waste, the discharge of which is subject to surcharge, shall be determined monthly, or more frequently, from samples taken either at the manhole or at any other sampling point established by the Borough. The frequency and duration of the sampling period shall be such as, in the opinion of the Borough, will permit a reasonably reliable determination of the average composition of such wastes, exclusive of storm water runoff, surface and ground water. Samples shall be collected by the Borough in proportion to the flow of wastes, exclusive of storm water runoff, surface water and ground water, and composite for analysis in accordance with the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Sewage as published by the American Public Health Association. Except as hereinafter provided, the strength of such wastes so found by analysis shall be used for establishing the surcharge or surcharges. The Borough may, if it so elects, accept the results of routine sampling and analyses by the producer of such wastes in lieu of making his own sampling and analyses.
In the event any industrial waste is found by the Borough to have a B.O.D. (B.O.D. shall designate the "Biochemical Oxygen Demand" shall mean the quantity of oxygen utilized in the biochemical oxidation of the organic matter in sewage or industrial waste or industrial waste under standard laboratory procedure in 5 days at 20 degree Celsius, expresses in mg/l by weight) in excess of 300 mg/l, the owners of and the users of water in or on, the property from which such wastes are discharged shall be surcharged an amount equal to the product of :
(1) The actual volume of wastes in thousand gallons per billing period, exclusive of storm water runoff, surface water and ground water, discharged to the public sanitary sewerage system; and
(2) The "B.O.D. surcharge rate". The B.O.D. surcharge rate" shall be determined by the following formula:
Go Back to Archives

HOME RULE BOROUGH OF EDINBORO COUNCIL MEETING
Page 16 January 2, 2001
Rc = 0.00834 P (C-300)
where Rc = the B.O.D. surcharge rate n cent per 1,000 gallons of waste discharged.
P = the average annual fixed, operating and maintenance cost of treatment processes per pound of B.O.D. received at the treatment works, including chlorination.
C = the average B.O.D. of the industrial waste expressed in mg/l as determined previously.
The figure 300 appearing in the above formula corresponds to the maximum B.O.D. permissible without surcharge. The figure 0.00834 is the factor to convert parts per million to pounds per 1,000 gallons. No discount will be permitted for sewage or industrial wastes having B.O.D. less than 300 mg/l.
B. SUSPENDED SOLIDS SURCHARGE
In the event any industrial waste is found, by the Borough, to have an average suspended solid concentration in excess of 250 mg/l, the owners of, and the users of water in or on, the property from which such wastes are discharged shall be surcharged an amount equal to the product of:
(1) The actual volume of wastes in thousand gallons per billing period exclusive of storm water runoff, surface water and ground water, discharge to the public sanitary sewerage system; and
(2) The "suspended solids surcharge rate". The "suspended solids surcharge rate: shall be determined by the following formula:
Rs = 0.00834 x B (s-250)
Where Rs = the suspended solids surcharge rate in cents per 1,000 gallons of waste discharged
B = the average annual fixed, operating and maintenance cost of the sludge digestion, sludge drying and sludge disposal operations per pound of suspended solids received at the treatment works.
S = the average suspended solid concentration of the abnormal industrial wastes expressed in mg/l.
HOME RULE BOROUGH OF EDINBORO COUNCIL MEETING
Page 17 January 2, 2001
The figure 250 appearing in the above formula corresponds to the maximum suspended solids concentration permissible without surcharge. The figure 0.00834 is the factor to convert parts per million to pounds per 1,000 gallons. No discount will be permitted for sewage or industrial wastes having suspended solids concentration less than 250 mg/l.
In the event that any industrial waste is found by the Borough, to have a chlorine requirement in excess of thirty (30) milligrams per liter, the producer of said waste shall be surcharges an amount equal to the product of :
(1.) The actual volume of wastes in 1,000 gallons per billing period discharged to the public sanitary sewer system; and
(2.) The "chlorine requirement surcharge rate". The "chlorine requirement surcharge rate" shall be determined by the following formula:
R = 0.00833 P (C-20)
where Rc = the chlorine requirement surcharge rate in cent per 1,000 gallons of waste discharged
P = the average cost of chlorine to the Borough in cents per pound.
C = the average chlorine requirement of the industrial waste expressed in milligrams per litter as determined in accordance with the Borough Sewer Usage Ordinance.
The figure 30 appearing in the above formula corresponds to the maximum chlorine requirements which is permissible without surcharge. The figure 0.00833 is the factor to convert milligrams per litter to pounds per 1,000 gallons. No discount will be permitted for sewage or industrial wastes having a chlorine requirement less than 30 milligrams per litter.
