(b)

That the Jefferson Parish Council herein levies a capital cost user fee for each user utilizing the sewerage system in the amount of five dollars ($5.00) per month for five (5) years beginning with the date of the adoption of this section and imposed upon each residential, commercial, or industrial unit utilizing the sewerage system and situated within Lafitte Area Wide Sewerage Service Area for the purpose of defraying the cost of construction of sewerage collection and treatment facilities and paying other expenses incurred in connection with providing sewerage collection and treatment services to the district, a work of public improvement. After the initial five-year period the rates shall be adjusted as set forth in paragraph (c) below.

(c)

In the event that the anticipated five million dollars ($5,000,000.00) of state funds are not obligated to Jefferson Parish after five (5) years from the date of adoption hereof, the capital cost user fee will increase by an amount to be determined by the following formula:

$5,000,000.00 less the amount received from the state of Louisiana for the Lafitte Area Wide Sewerage Program divided by $5,000,000 and multiplied by $12.00, said increase not to exceed $12.00.

(d)

The capital cost user fee to be collected hereunder shall be deposited in a separate fund to be used solely to pay the cost of constructing a sewerage collection and treatment system in the Lafitte Area Wide Sewerage Service Area or to pay the principal and interest on bonds issued for that purpose.

(e)

The above mentioned service charge shall be collected on the Jefferson Parish Department of Water bills for customers within the Lafitte Area Wide Sewerage Service Area.
