(A) Monthly charge. There is hereby imposed upon each user of a property unit in the District a monthly charge of $8.62 per service unit as a stormwater utility charge.
(B) Billing procedures. The charge shall be imposed and billed upon initial occupancy or use of a property unit in accordance with the billing procedures adopted by the City Clerk and/or municipal utilities and will be billed continuously thereafter.
(C) Charge included on utility bills. By agreement with the municipal utilities, the monthly stormwater utility charge may be included on monthly utility bills.
(D) Minimum charge. The minimum monthly stormwater utility charge per property unit shall be $5 per month.
(E) Rate formula; examples.
(1) The formula for computing the monthly stormwater utility charge imposed by this subchapter shall be:
A ÷ 10,000 x 8.62 ÷ N = monthly unit charge
Where A is the area of the lot and N is the number of units on the lot.
(2) If a single-family dwelling occupies a lot of an area of 8,500 square feet, application of the formula results in a monthly stormwater utility charge of $7.33 per month.
8,500 ÷ 10,000 x 8.62 ÷ 1 = $7.327
(3) If a property unit occupies a lot with an area of 12,400 square feet, application of the formula results in a monthly stormwater utility charge of $10.69 per month.
12,400 ÷ 10,000 x 8.62 ÷ 1 = $10.688
(4) If three property units occupy a lot of an area of 21,000 square feet, application of the formula results in a monthly stormwater utility charge per unit of $6.03 per month.
21,000 ÷ 10,000 x 8.62 ÷ 3 = $6.034
