For the purposes of understanding the reference to the “effective date” in the above tables, all sanitary sewer rates and charges on sewer utility bills mailed on or after January 1st of each year shall be based on the adopted rates for that effective date even if the utility service period reflected on the bill includes time from before the effective date.
B. For customers who are not served by city waterlines but who are connected to city sewers, the charges shall be the same as set forth in subsection A of this section and its subparagraphs.
C. These rates do not apply to industries or manufacturing concerns which have industrial wastes. These, together with other activities not covered in this chapter, shall be dealt with on a special basis and have special rates set for the particular business by the water/utility administrative staff, subject to review and approval by the city council.
D. All property owners within an area served by a sanitary sewer system in the city of Edmonds are hereby directed and compelled to connect their private drains and sewers to the city system. Failure to do so within 30 days of written notice to connect by the city shall subject the property owner to a monthly penalty equal to that charge imposed by subsections A, B, and/or C above. Said penalty shall be billed to the property owner, and they shall be subject to payment, collection and enforcement in all respects as though they were utility customers of the city. All penalties collected shall be considered revenues of the sewer utility system.
