Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions in this article,
it is found and determined that the rates established by this article
to be paid for the wastewater collection and treatment system are
based on average costs of full usage for the various uses set forth
as provided in this article, and the literal application of the rates
in all situations, without regard to the intensity of the waste water
usage and burden created by the proposed connection, might result
in inequities to individual connectors and an inequitable imposition
of the fees charged to connectors throughout the City, unless due
consideration is given to the particular factors involved in each
proposed connection. The Director of Utilities is, therefore, authorized
to exercise his or her discretion in adjusting the rates to be paid
in unusual cases, having due regard for the true amount of wastewater
generated and burden involved in each application. In exercising the
discretion the Director of Utilities shall consider, among other things,
for example, the amount of wastewater generation and burden created
thereby, having regard for all conditions pertaining to the particular
connection, so that the actual rates imposed, in particular situations,
will be in accordance with the amount of usage and the burden upon
the wastewater collection and treatment system proposed under the
conditions of the particular connection.
