of pre-treatment.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved and it is hereby resolved as follows:

which are not required by the Authority to install grease traps are exempt
from the quarterly charge.
SECTION 3. A quarterly
bill will be issued by the Authority for the collection of the fees separate
from the monthly sewage bill.
SECTION 4. This Resolution
is not meant to change any of the rates or rate classifications as previously
enacted by the Authority but is to add a pre-treatment charge only.

clause or section or any part of this Resolution is for any reason found to
be unconstitutional, illegal or invalid, such unconstitutionality, illegality
or invalidity shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions,
sentences, clauses or sections or parts of this Resolution. It is hereby declared as the intent of the
Authority that this would have been enacted had such unconstitutional, illegal
