(1)

If any county in Oregon, other than a city-county, imposes upon a wastewater utility any new taxes or license, franchise, or operating permit fees, or increases any such taxes or fees, the wastewater utility required to pay such taxes or fees shall collect from its wastewater customers within the county imposing such taxes or fees the amount of the taxes or fees, or the proportional share of increase in such taxes or fees. However, if the taxes or fees cover the operations of a wastewater utility in only a portion of a county, then the affected wastewater utility shall recover the amount of the taxes or fees or increase in the amount thereof from wastewater customers in the portion of the county that is subject to the taxes or fees. “Taxes,” as used in this rule, means sales, use, net income, gross receipts, payroll, business or occupation taxes, levies, fees, or charges other than ad valorem taxes.

(2)

The amount collected from each wastewater service customer pursuant to section (1) of this rule shall be separately stated and identified in all wastewater customer billings.

(3)
