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 Woodburn. 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, whether or not the premises, located within the city limits, are actually connected
to the sanitary sewerage system, if the property is located within 100 feet of an adequate
sewer line for a period of one year.
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 wastewater 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 EPA and DEQ
requirements and other capacity connection fee requirements related to loadings, are not
covered by this ordinance.
Section 2. Section 51B)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 sub-
surface wastewater treatment and disposal (septic tank system) shall be allowed within the
city limits. Structures that are connected to city water and located within 100 feet of a city
sewer main for a period of one year but not connected to the sewer, will be charged at the
minimum usage per unit as outlined under Section 5(E)1.
