In recognition that a significant portion of the water system capital cost is attributable to the provision of fire protection, there shall be a fire flow surcharge based upon the approved fire flow requirement as set by the Ventura County Fire Department. Said surcharge amounts shall be as set by Council action. The fee shall be due and payable concurrent with or prior to payment of the plant investment fee. Where there is a changed use on the property such that the fire flow surcharge amount is increased, the incremental difference shall be due and payable.
