(1) Review by City Engineer. Any sewer user believing the sewer user charge is unjust and inequitable as applied to his circumstances or premises may make written application to the city engineer requesting a review of such user charges. Said written request shall, where applicable, show the actual estimated average flow and/or strength of the wastewater in comparison with the values upon which the charge is based, including the manner and method in which such measurements of estimates were made. The review of the request shall be made by the city engineer who shall determine if it is substantiated or not, and if the request is determined to be substantiated, the user charges for that user shall be recomputed based on the approval and revised flow and/or strength data, and the new charges thus recomputed shall be applicable beginning with the date that the written request was received by the city engineer.

(2) Appeal. Any person aggrieved by the action of the city engineer in denying or modifying a request or application for a review of user charges, shall have a right of appeal of such action to the city council by delivering written notice of such appeal to the city recorder within 15 days after receiving written notice of the action of the city engineer, and such notice of appeal shall specify therein all facts or reasons to be relied upon in such appeal. The appeal shall thereupon be held before the council at its next regular meeting held not earlier than 10 days after the filing of such notice of appeal. The decision of the council upon such appeal shall be final and conclusive. (Ord. 1587 § 6, 1979)
