A. Basic Sewer Lateral Installation Rate. The basic sewer lateral installation rate for residential and nonresidential premises shall be $18.29 for each foot of a sewer lateral between the point at which such premises are connected to the sewer lateral and the point at which the sewer lateral is connected to a sewer main or trunkline in the public street or a public easement adjoining the lot or parcel on which the premises are located.
B. Increases in Basic Sewer Lateral Installation Rate. If on July 1, 1993, or on July first of any year thereafter, there is an increase in the cost of constructing and installing sewer laterals during the preceding year, then the basic sewer lateral installation rate shall also be increased in proportion to the increase in such costs. The determination of whether there has been an increase in the cost of constructing and installing sewer laterals and the amount of the increase in the basic sewer lateral installation rate which is proportional to the increase in such costs shall be made by the director with the approval of the city manager and shall be based exclusively on the net percentage increase during the preceding year in the Engineering News Record Cost Index for San Francisco (based on 1913 U.S. Average = 100) as published in the Engineering News Record/McGraw-Hill Construction Weekly.
