(A) Residential storm water user fee. The monthly user fee is uniform for all residential properties which are assigned one ERU. The monthly user fee for one ERU shall be $4.83.
(B) Nonresidential storm water user fee. The monthly user fee for a non-residential property, combined residential/business property, or a multi-family property with four or more units (defined as non-residential) is determined using an ERU multiplier, which is calculated by dividing the total impervious surface area within the property by the base ERU of 2,860 square feet. This method allows for the non-residential property user fees to be based upon the amount of impervious surface area within the property as compared to the amount of impervious surface area of the average residential property. For example, a non-residential property with 30,000 square feet of impervious surface area receives an ERU multiplier of 10.5 (30,000/2,860). The ERU multiplier shall be rounded to one decimal place and the minimum ERU shall be one. The ERU multiplier is then multiplied by the current fee for one ERU to determine the actual user fee in dollars. However, no storm water user fee shall exceed the sum of $750 for any one month as to any single property. For purposes of this monthly maximum, a SINGLE PROPERTY is defined as a property having its own address.
