For purposes of establishing stormwater service billings under I.C. 8-1.5-5-7, the following definitions, procedures, and rates shall apply.
AVERAGE VALUE (AV). The average of 50 residential properties selected at random. This number is 3,284 square feet. (See Appendix A attached to the ordinance codified herein.)
EQUIVALENT RESIDENTIAL UNIT (ERU). The ISA divided by the average value. This number, when multiplied by the user fee, yields the dollar amount to be billed to the user.
IMPERVIOUS SURFACE AREA (ISA). Square footage of a property that is covered by concrete, bituminous material, buildings, and all other materials that do not allow stormwater to percolate through to the ground surface below.
TYPE A PROPERTY. Properties containing a single-family residence in which only the owner, the owner’s family, or a single family reside, no apartment or other form of rental agreement allowing for two or more families to live on said property exists, and no business is conducted thereon.
TYPE B PROPERTY. All properties not categorized as Type A. This includes, but is not limited to, all businesses, churches and other places of religious affiliation, schools, colleges, trailer parks, and condominium complexes that are part of private residential communities, and centers, community centers, apartment complexes, duplexes in which all or part are for rent, and properties whose primary function is not as a single-family residence.
