   Formula based on 80% SFD
1" and larger see formula for change
For service larger than one inch: ratio of service size to be installed to the area of a one-inch service multiplied by the SFU WAC charge. Example: 3-inch water connection: Area of 3- inch (7.07 sq. in)/area of 1-inch (0.78 sq. in)=Ratio (9.06)
Ratio (9.06) x SFU WAC $2,000) = C/I WAC for 3 inch ($18,120)

See formula for charge
Ratio of SFU SAC charge to SFU WAC charge: multiply by WAC charge as determined by water system connection charge calculation example for 3-inch water connection:
SFU SAC charge ($4,000)/SFU WAG charge ($2,000) = ration (2)
WAC charge ($18,120 x ratio (2) = C/I SAC (3-inch water) ($36,240)
