(a) Regional wastewater users.
(1) All regional wastewater users will be required to pay to the city the regional wastewater system development charges, "Regional SDCs," for regional wastewater system capacity.
(2) The amount of the Regional SDCs shall be established from time to time by the city via ordinance, which ordinances (and the Regional SDCs set forth therein), as amended from time to time, are hereby incorporated herein by reference. The Regional SDC charges shall be charged based on the number and size of water meters. The following table indicates the Regional SDC charges based on water meter size:
Water Meter Size, Inch | Regional Wastewater System "Regional SDC" Cost Per Water Meter Size |
5/8" to 3/4" | $2,391 |
1" | $5,978 |
1 1/2" | $11,954 |
2" | $19,127 |
3" | $35,863 |
4" | $60,000 |
(3) The Regional SDC charges shall be determined and allocated to the separate Regional SDC account annually.
(4) Where new development of an existing property requires a larger water meter size, the Regional SDC shall be determined based on the difference between the previous use water meter size Regional SDC and the new water meter size Regional SDC.
(5) In no case will the Regional SDC be allowed a credit for decreased capacity use or water meter size.
(6) Fire flows shall not be included in calculating the Regional SDC. If fire flows do not have separate metered systems, the manager shall administratively calculate the actual water use meter size for determining the Regional SDC.
(b) Regional wastewater customers.
(1) The city shall request in January of each year the number and size of new water meters installed for the previous year from all regional wastewater customers. The regional wastewater customer shall submit the data to the city by February 15 each year. The city will use this data for calculating and invoicing the total annual Regional SDC for the regional wastewater customer. The regional wastewater customer will be required to submit full payment to the city by March 15 of each year for the previous year's Regional SDC. If the regional wastewater customer is late on payment, interest shall begin accruing on March 15 and shall continue to accrue until full payment is received. Interest shall be in accordance with § 51.009.
(2) Quarterly reports of the number and sizes of water meters installed in the noncity regional wastewater customers shall be submitted to the city by January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15 of each year.
(3) The city shall at any time have access to the water meter data for the noncity regional wastewater customer for review, inspection, and audit.
