(A) The General Manager shall, from time to time, make a determination as to:
(1) The current value of District assets;
(2) The average daily flow per capita; and
(3) The capita per residential unit, based upon information available to him or her (e.g., the present information from the wastewater treatment facility design criteria and the County Planning Department, which would now indicate that the average daily flow per capita is 100 gpd, that the average number of persons per residential unit is 2.35 and that, therefore, the average daily flow per residential unit is 235).
(B) Equivalent residential units, as the basic unit for determining the applicable connection fee, shall be as follows:
Use or Type of Improvement | Equivalent Residential Unit |
Use or Type of Improvement | Equivalent Residential Unit |
All other uses | 1 unit per each 24 fixture units (Uniform Plumbing Code)* |
Cocktail lounge or bar | 1 unit per each 30 seats* |
Guest house (without kitchen or kitchen facilities) | 0.4 |
Hotel, motel or rental unit with kitchen facilities | 0.5 |
Hotel, motel or rental unit without kitchen facilities | 0.4 |
Restaurants and other eating establishments | 1 unit per each 20 seats* |
Single-family residence, apartment, townhouse or condominium unit, or other dwelling unit, as defined by the Uniform Building Code | 1.0 |
Theater and meeting rooms | 1 unit per each 50 seats* |
*(Note: Above the initial unit, the fee shall be determined proportionately.) | |
(C) Whenever, in the opinion of the District Manager, the application of the above-described method of determining sewer connection fees are grossly unreasonable or inappropriate, he or she may calculate an appropriate sewer connection fee, taking into account the anticipated wastewater flow and strength characteristics for the structure in question.
