parcels of real property exist within the District which are not connected to
the District system and that other properties acquire considerably greater
potable deter than is ultimately discharged to the District's system, it is the

determined by the General Manager of the District, or his designee, who my
grant a partial or fall rebate or adjustment of the charge based on receiving
satisfactory proof that an inequity exists between the amount and the amount of
wastewater discharged to the District's systems. Such inequities may include,
but are not limited to the following instances:
(a) the use of the parcel differs from the use indicated by the charge;
(b) no service connection to the District system exists from the parcel
charged;
(c) the principal water use is agricultural;
(d) any other use wherein the anoint of wastewater discharged to the
District's system is significantly less on a regular basis than the
-2-
amount that would normally be expected to be discharged by the class of
property in question.
Section 6: Annual Charge Based on Fiscal Year. The sanitary sewer service
charge established by this ordinance shall remain in effect until such time as
the rates adopted by the District ordinance are changed, and there shall be no
proration of such charges in any fiscal year.
Section 7: Method of Collection. Pursuant to the authority granted by
California Health and Safety Cade Section 5473, all charges established herein
shall be collected on the Canty Tax Roll in the same manner, by the same

general taxes. The County Tax Collector is authorized and hereby ordered to
make said collections in accordance with the tarns and conditions of agreements
between the Canty of Orange and this District.
In the event District determines that errors or inequities exist in the
amount of charges to be collected by the County Tax collector, District may
suFmit a bill for any difference directly to the property owner. Said invoiced
amount shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of invoice date.
Section 8: Credit for Industrial Permittees. A credit shall be allowed to
all discharges permitted pursuant to Article 3 of Ordinance No. 104 in an amount
equal to the annual sanitary sewer service charge established by Section 2 of
