Total audited costs shall not include taxes or payments in lieu of taxes imposed by any party to this agreement. --- Joint-Use Facilities: The terms "joint-use facilities" and "joint-use interceptor facilities" as employed in contract shall be understood and taken to mean the City's sewage treatment plant and its immediately related treatment facilities and all interceptors or other sewer lines and related facilities used jointly by the City and the Authority in connection with the transmission or treatment of wastes made the subject of this contract. D. In any month during any twelve-month period of the term of this contract during which costs are incurred by the City in addition to total audited costs due to the need for or requirement of additional treatment, either due to quality or quantity, of wastes or additional facilities for the proper and adequate transportation, handling or treatment of such wastes, the charge to the Authority per million gallons for that month shall be increased for its share of such additional cost. E. Should the strength of the wastes at any point of delivery to the City, or of delivery to others for delivery to the City, exceed a B.O.D. of 300 p.p.m. or suspended solids of 400 p.p.m., as determined by the City through metering and sampling, then the Authority agrees to pay to the City until the wastes are determined by sampling to have been reduced to within the limits of normal wastes, a surcharge, in addition to the base charge hereinabove provided for normal wastes, of two percent, (2%), of the base rate hereinabove provided in Paragraph IV.

The minimum period of time to which the surcharge shall be applicable shall be fifteen (15) days. F. The City agrees to render the Authority each month a bill for the proper amount owed by the Authority to the City for the City's rendering of the sewage treatment service herein contemplated, which bill the Authority agrees to pay within thirty (30) days from the receipt thereof. The City may prepare such monthly bill based upon budget estimates to be adjusted annually by audit. G.
