THE CITY OF WOODBURN ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Section 1 of Ordinance 2157 is amended to read as follows:
General Provisions. That a charge, as provided in this ordinance, will be added
to each municipal water bill or statement issued by the City of W oodbum. Such
charges will apply to all monthly periods of water use and service received from
the City, and such charges will be collected from water users in the same manner
and under the same provisions of law as other charges for water use and services.
Such charges will be levied against each water account, excepting those accounts
providing only fire or irrigation service, and other services which do not utilize
the city sewerage system for their wastewater treatment and disposal.
A like charge may be made to all premises within the city limits which are supplied with
water from sources other than the city water system. A separate charge will be collected
from all premises outside the City which discharge to the city sewerage system. The
premises connected to a water system other than the city system may be required to
provide metering devices for the waste discharge calculations. An additional charge will
be collected for "recreational vehicle waste water discharge" stations. All city municipal
service buildings will continue to be exempted from the charges outlined in this
ordinance unless modified by council action. Interpretation and administration of this
ordinance and its provisions will be the responsibility of the City Engineer.
This ordinance also deals with permitted industrial/commercial loading-related service
charges. However, the city-issued waste discharge permits that reflect EP A and DEQ
requirements and other capacity connection fee requirements related to loadings, are not
covered by this ordinance.
Section 2. Section 5(B)7 of Ordinance 2157 is amended to read as follows:
All sewer structures located within 300 feet of an adequate city sewer main, and
experiencing septic system failure, must connect to the city sewer system. No
new subsurface wastewater treatment and disposal (septic tank: system) shall be
allowed within the city limits.
