(3) Formulate a uniform schedule of sewerage service charges based on incremental units of cost to be applied equally within classifications of like character.

(5) Recommend by resolution the fees and charges to be levied by the council with respect to any sewer improvement area, sewerage system, or sewerage district created by the council, which area, system, or district has been made subject to the jurisdiction of the commission.

B.
