a. Tap-on fees shall be based on “population equivalent” defined by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, State of Illinois Rules and Regulations, Title 35, Subchapter C, Chapter 1, Section 301.345, as a term used to evaluate the impact of industrial or other waste on a treatment works or stream.
Population Equivalent: A term used to evaluate the impact of industrial or other waste on a treatment works or stream. One population equivalent is 100 gallons (380 I) of sewage per day, containing 0.17pounds (77 g) of BOD5 (5-day biochemical oxygen demand) and 0.20 pounds (91 g) of suspended solids. The impact of a treatment works is evaluated as the equivalent of the highest of the three parameters. Impact on a stream is the higher of the BOD5 and suspended solids parameters.
b. State of Illinois Rules and Regulations Title 35, Subtitle C, Part 370, Design Standards for Sewage Works, Appendices A and B, contain resident occupancy criteria and commonly used quantities of sewage flows for various types of facilities. If the type of facility to be connected is not listed, documentation from similar type facilities will be used to determine wastewater population equivalent (PE). This criterion will be used to calculate the tap-on fees for each permit as furnished with the IEPA application for the construction permit for users with greater than one thousand five hundred (1,500) gallons per day wastewater discharges to the sanitary sewer system.
c. Tap-on fees based on population equivalents (PE) are in the amount as shown on the Schedule of Fees found in Section 1-16-1 of the Village Code.
