gallons will be set by resolution of the City Council at its first meeting in January. c) If the commercial, industrial, institutional or other user has more than one source of water for one building or use, each of the sources must be metered and the total amount of water metered be used for calculating sewer rates. Section 4.10.5 If the industrial or commercial user does not discharge considerable waste, as a part of its essential operation, then the requirement for metering may be waived upon recommendation of the City Engineer and approval of the City Council. In such event, the charge for waste discharge of this user, shall be established by resolution of the City Council establishing the number of units to be charged for this type of user. 4.11 Strength Charges For Industrial Users. Section 4.11.1 The MCES has imposed an industrial user sewer strength charge upon users of the Metropolitan disposal system. The City of Gem Lake Municipal Sanitary Sewer System feeds into this disposal system. In order for the City to pay such costs, based upon strength of industrial discharge that are allocated to it by the MCES each year, it is necessary to establish a City system sewer strength charge and a formula for computation of that charge for all industrial users using the City of Gem Lake Municipal Sanitary Sewer System. Section 4.11.2 There is established, in addition to sewer charges based upon the volume of discharge, a sewer charge upon each person receiving waste treatment services within or served by the City, based upon strength of industrial waste discharged into the Municipal Sanitary Sewer System operated by the City of Gem Lake. Section 4.11.3 For the purpose of computation of the strength charge, the same strength charge formula designated by the governing body of MCES on June 15, 1976 and as amended from time to time, shall be used by the City of Gem Lake. Section 4.11.4 The strength charge established by this section of this Ordinance shall be paid by each industrial user receiving waste treatment services from the system operated by the City of Gem Lake. It will be billed in the same manner as the regular use charge for sewer service and be subject to the same penalties for late payment. Section 4.12 Payment Of Sewer System Charges Section 4.12.1 Sewer use charges shall be billed quarterly. Statements for sewer charges, for the preceding quarterly period, shall be mailed to each user of the system on or before the loth of January, April, July and October of each year. Such statements shall be due and payable to the City Treasurer on or before the last day of the month following the quarterly period covered by such statement. Section 4.12.2 If the sewer charge is not paid when due, then the following penalty shall be added to the next billing:
