(e) We hereby adopt the City of Columbus Code Section 1147.01 through 1147.99 and 1145.01 through 1145.99 and all future amendments and revisions thereto. The Village hereby adopts the City of Columbus Clean River Fund formula for determination of each sewer user’s allocated fees of the Fund charges as follows:
All properties having impervious area within the Village will be assigned an equivalent residential unit (ERU), or a multiple thereof, with all properties having impervious area receiving at least one (1) ERU.
(1) Residential properties. All residential properties will be assigned one (1) ERU. A flat rate will apply to all residential properties.
(2) Non-residential properties. Non-residential properties will be assigned an ERU multiple based upon the properties’ individually measured impervious area (in square feet) divided by two thousand (2,000) square feet (one (1) ERU). This division will be calculated to the first decimal place and rounded according to mathematical convention.
This fee shall be charged monthly to all Village sewer users.
(Ord. 20-2007. Passed 5-21-07.)
(f) In the event of any discrepancy between the two codes, the more restrictive code shall be enforced.
