The Greater Cleveland area is home to many industries that deserve
special attention because of (1) amount of water consumption and
wastewater discharged into the sewer system, and/or (2) specific
substances created as byproducts of their manufacturing or industrial
processes.
Industrial Waste Surcharge
An additional charge is billed to industrial and other types of
customers discharging wastewater which contains substances requiring
more extensive treatment than effluent from residential customers.
The amount of Industrial Waste Surcharge is calculated in
accordance with formulas set forth in the Rate Resolution, which take
into account concentration of suspended solids, biological oxygen
demand and chemical oxygen demand based on waste loading determined by
analysis or otherwise.
Sewer Service Charges Responsibility
In accordance with Section 1.0604 of the Northeast Ohio
Regional Sewer District Code of Regulations - Billing and Collection of
Industrial Sewerage Service Charges: "All Industrial Users are required
to pay sewer service charges for wastewater discharged to the sanitary
sewer system. It is the obligation of all Users to notify the District
if their connection to the system is not being billed for Sewer Service
Charges. Users shall be responsible for all unbilled Sewer Service
Charges for a period of up to six (6) years prior to the date of the
User receiving the back bill or other instrument stating the amount due
and owing."
