   (B)   One equivalent residential unit (ERU) is established and determined to be equal to a flow of approximately 350 gallons per day (GPD), average annual basis. The "Total Equivalent Residential Unit Value" for an establishment shall be calculated by multiplying the volume factor listed in division (A) above by the number of units.
   (C)   For all establishments not listed above, the total ERU value shall be determined by multiplying the number of fixture units, as published in the Florida Building Code, Plumbing, by 25, and then dividing that numerator by 350. For example:
   Total   =   Number of fixture units x 25
   ERU value         350
   In no event shall the total ERU value used to calculate a water system impact fee, when using this method be less than 1 ERU.
   If the Public Works Director determines that the actual water usage will be greater than the ERU usage assigned to such category as set forth above, then the Director may determine, based on actual usage, anticipated usage, peak load requirements, or any combination of the foregoing using accepted engineering standards, a different or greater total ERU value. Notice of any such determination shall be sent to the City Commission.
