General Terms and Regulations
- Service not covered by the above rates will be individually negotiated by special rate contracts.
- All schedules are NET DISCOUNT RATES, due and payable as stated on bills. All bills not paid by
then become delinquent and are subject to the gross rate which is 5 percent higher.
- All Municipal Utilities SERVICES WILL BE DISCONTINUED if the bill remains unpaid. Unauthorized
connections or tampering with Utilities services are in violation of City Ordinance Sec. 29-6 and
penalties of fine and imprisonment are provided in the Missouri Revised Statutes Chapter 569.080.
- In order that residential water customers not be charged sewer charges for water used in lawn
sprinkling, garden watering, etc., the amount of service charge is based on the average water
consumption during the preceding winter months as established by the Board. Actual monthly usage
shall be used for billing purposes until that average is established.
- A customer may be eligible for a new construction sewer bill adjustment when:
- the customer can show that the vast majority of the water during one or more months did not go
to the sanitary sewer due to construction work or in establishing new grass or other plalntings,
and
- the sewer bill was based on actual water consumption - not based on an average of prior use.
A customer meeting these criteria may submit an adjustment request to the Director of Administrative
Services one time only per location. The request may cover a multi-month period. The maximum
adjustment or refund would be to reduce each month's sewer bill to the monthly customer charge plus
the volume charge for 5,000 gallons of water.
- There may also be applicable, for certain Industrial and/or Commercial users, an additional charge
for Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), and Fats, Oil and Grease (FOG).
The current charges are:
| TSS | $0.36/lb. |
| BOD | $0.46/lb. |
| FOG | $0.05/lb. |
