Article 29 - Washington Suburban Sanitary District

(d) (1) For the purpose of retiring the bonds authorized to be issued by this
section and the payment of the interest thereon and for the purpose of paying for the
cost of the maintenance of its sewerage system and its disposal facilities, including
the overhead expense and proper depreciation allowance, and payments to the
District of Columbia for disposal of sanitary district sewage, the WSSC shall be
empowered and directed to make a sewer usage charge, chargeable against all
properties connected to the WSSC's sewerage system. [The] EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN
PARAGRAPHS (2) AND (3) OF THIS SUBSECTION, THE charges shall be based upon the
water consumption of the properties connected to the sewerage system [, except that
where].
(2) WHERE the WSSC furnishes sewerage service to a property which is
not connected to the WSSC's water system the WSSC shall make a sewer usage
charge on an annual, semi-annual, or monthly basis, which will fairly and ratably
compensate the WSSC for the use of the sewerage system by such property, and in
fixing the charge for properties not connected to the water system the WSSC shall
take into consideration the usage made of the sewerage system by such property and
the sewer usage charge applicable to like or similar properties connected to the water
system.
(3) (I) [In] EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SUBPARAGRAPH (II) OF THIS
PARAGRAPH, IN the event that water furnished by the WSSC to any lot or parcel of
land shall be used exclusively for any purpose which results in the water not entering
the sewerage system of the WSSC, then and in that event the owner, tenant or
occupant of such lot or parcel shall not be charged a sewer usage charge for the water
so used, provided, however, that the owner, tenant or occupant of such lot or parcel
shall pay to the WSSC the cost of installing such a separate metered connection as
well as an annual amount equal to the WSSC's annual water service charge for the
size of the meter so installed for measuring the water so used and which meter
connection upon such payment shall be installed at a location to be determined by it
and shall thereafter be maintained and exclusively controlled by the WSSC under
such rules and regulations as the WSSC may adopt.
(II) A COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, OR MULTIRESIDENTIAL
PROPERTY MAY USE A SEPARATE METERED CONNECTION AS PROVIDED IN
SUBPARAGRAPH (I) OF THIS PARAGRAPH, EVEN THOUGH A PORTION OF THE
SEPARATELY METERED WATER ENTERS THE SEWERAGE SYSTEM OF THE WSSC,
PROVIDED THAT THE OWNER, TENANT, OR OCCUPANT OF THE PROPERTY REQUESTS
TO BE BILLED ACCORDING TO A FORMULA DETERMINED BY THE WSSC.
(III) THE FORMULA DETERMINED BY THE WSSC UNDER
SUBPARAGRAPH (II) OF THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL:
1. CREDIT THE OWNER, TENANT, OR OCCUPANT FOR
SEPARATELY METERED WATER NOT ENTERING THE SEWERAGE SYSTEM OF THE
WSSC; AND
