* Each business is counted separately. For 1-10 employees, it is counted as 1 unit. For 11-20, it is counted as 2 units. And so on. For the purposes of this model, part-time employees are counted as 4:1.
**Customer seats are multiplied by the number of meal periods (breakfast, lunch and dinner) services times 2. The rate model assumes a seat will turn over twice during any meal period.
***Special/unlisted users are assessed rates based on their loadings for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), suspended solids (SS) and flow (millions of gallons) multiplied by the following unit rates: $1.64/lb of BOD;0.94/lb of SS; and $0.02/gallon of flow.
The District collects, treats and disposes of wastewater from more than 6,500 residential and commercial connections in the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea and surrounding areas and portions of lower Carmel Valley.
The fixed rate user fees include funds required for current operation and maintenance costs.
