(Ord. 394 § 5, 1978; Ord. 772 § 5, 2019)

The user charges prescribed in Chapter 15.40 may be variable for different classes of uses for different parts of the sewerage works, or where portions of the works have been previously installed and financed, so that variable rates may be equitable and just to all concerned. The uses and properties to be served have natural, intrinsic and fundamental distinctions which are reasonable in their relation to the objects of said charges and fees, and based thereon are herein classified for the purposes of such charges.

(Ord. 394 § 5, 1978; Ord. 772 § 5, 2019)

(Ord. 394 § 5, 1978; Ord. 772 § 5, 2019)

If such application is approved, the council may by ordinance suspend or modify the provision complained of, as applied to such premises, to be effective as of the date of the application and continuing during the period of the special circumstances.

(Ord. 394 § 5, 1978; Ord. 772 § 5, 2019)

The council may, on its own motion, find that, by reason of special circumstances, any provision of Chapter 15.40 should be suspended or modified as applied to a particular premises and may by ordinance order such suspension or modification for such premises during the period of such special circumstances or any part thereof.
