(10) days after the date upon which the notice is given, the water supply to
the premises will be shut off. The notice shall also state that the occupant
may, before such date, demand a hearing before the City Council, in which
case the supply will not be shut off until after the hearing is held. If, as a
result of the hearing, the City Council finds that the amount claimed owing is
actually due and unpaid and that there is no legal reason why the water
supply of the delinquent customer may not be shut off in accordance with this
Ordinance, the City may then shut off the supply.

Council resolution from time to time, the bill shall be considered delinquent
and the service may be discontinued as provided in (B) above and the City
Council may cause the charges noted in such billing to become a lien against

1001.17 Recitals for Establishing Industrial User Strenith Charge.
The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, a metropolitan commission organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota, hereinafter referred to as the
"Commission," in order to receive and retain grants in compliance with the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 and regulations thereunder,
hereinafter referred to as the "Act," has determined to impose an industrial user
sewer strength charge upon users of the Metropolitan Disposal System as defined in
Minnesota Statutes, § 473.121, Subdivision 24, to recover operation and maintenance
costs of treatment works attributable to the strength of the discharge of industrial
waste, such sewer strength charge being in addition to the charge based upon the
volume of discharge. In order for the City to pay such costs based upon strength of
industrial discharge and allocated to it each year by the Commission, it is hereby
found, determined, and declared to be necessary to establish sewer strength charges
and a formula for the computation thereof for all industrial users receiving waste
treatment services within or served by the City. Furthermore, Minnesota Statutes,
§444.075, Subdivision 3, empowers the City to make such sewer charge a charge
against the owner, lessee, occupant, or all of them and certify unpaid charges to the
County Auditor as a tax lien against the property served.
1001.18 Establishment of Strenith Charges.
12
For the purpose of paying the costs allocated to the City each year by the
Commission that are based upon the strength of discharge of all industrial users
receiving waste treatment services within or served by the City, there is hereby
approved, adopted, and established, in addition to the sewer charge based upon the
volume of discharge, a sewer charge upon each person, company, or corporation
receiving waste treatment services within or served by the City based upon strength
of industrial waste discharged into the sewer system of the City, hereinafter referred
to as the "Strength Charge."
1001.19 Establishment of Strength Charge Formula.
For the purpose of computation of the Strength Charge established by Section
1001.18 hereof, there is hereby established, approved, and adopted, in compliance
with the act, the same Strength Charge formula designated in Resolution No. 76 -172,
adopted by the governing body of the Commission on June 15, 1976, such formula
being based upon pollution qualities and difficulty of disposal of the sewage
produced through an evaluation of pollution qualities and quantities in excess of an
annual average base and the proportionate costs of operation and maintenance of
waste treatment services provided by the Commission. Said Metropolitan Waste
Control Commission Resolution 76 -172, adopted June 15, 1976, is hereby made an
attachment "A" to this Ordinance.
1001.20 Strength Charge Pavment.
It is hereby approved, adopted, and established that the Strength Charge established
by Section 1001.18 hereof, shall be paid by each industrial user receiving waste
treatment services and subject thereto before the twentieth (20th) day next
succeeding the date of billing thereof to such user by or on behalf of the City, and
such payment thereof shall be deemed to be delinquent if not so paid to the billing
entity before such date. Furthermore, it is hereby established, approved, and adopted
that if such payment is not paid before such date an industrial user shall pay interest,
compounded monthly, at the rate of two - thirds of one percent (2/3 %) per month on
the unpaid balance due.
1001.21 Establishment of Tax Lien.
As provided by Minnesota Statutes, § 444.975, Subdivision 3, it is hereby approved,
adopted, and established that if payment of the Strength Charge established by
Section 1001.18 hereof is not paid before the sixtieth (60th) day next succeeding the
date of billing thereof to the industrial user by or on behalf of the City, said
delinquent sewer strength charge, plus accrued interest established pursuant to
Section 1001.20 hereof, shall be deemed to be a charge against the owner, lessee, and
occupant of the property served, and the City or its agent shall certify such unpaid
delinquent balance to the County Auditor with taxes against the property served for
collection as other taxes are collected; provided, however, that such certification
13
shall not preclude the City or its agent from recovery of such delinquent sewer
strength charge and interest thereon under any other available remedy.
1001.215 Storm Water, Sump Pumps, Etc.
It shall be unlawful for any owner, occupant, or user of any residential or commercial
premises to direct into or allow any storm water, surface water, ground water, well
water, or water from residential, industrial, or commercial air conditioning systems
to drain into the sanitary sewer systems of the City. No rain spout or other form of
surface drainage and no foundation drainage or sump pump shall be directly
connected or discharged into any sanitary sewer system. Further, no owner,
occupant, or user of any residential or commercial premises shall directly pipe or
install any conduit for sump pump, pool, foundation drainage or other surface water
drainage system through the City's curbing along any City street to facilitate its entry
into the City storm water drainage system.
1001.22 Separability of Sections.
In the event any provision of this Ordinance shall be held invalid or unenforceable by
any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable any other provision hereof.
1001.23 Penaltv Provision.
Any person who shall do or commit any act that is forbidden by the provisions of this
Ordinance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be
punished by a fine not to exceed Seven Hundred Dollars ($700.00) or to be
imprisoned in the County Jail for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days, or both.
