Any person who is of the opinion that by reason of special circumstances any of the
rates and charges are inequitable as applied to premises owned or occupied by such
person may file with the city clerk a written application for revision thereof, setting
forth the circumstances. The council shall then, at its next regular session, or at
a subsequent regular meeting if requested by the applicant, hear the views of the
applicant and all other persons interested, and may in its discretion by resolution
fix a special service charge in such amount as shall be deemed just and equitable,
for the period during which such special circumstances shall exist.
