A. Initial Or New Connections: For each initial or new connection made to the sewer system, there shall be charged an initial payment in the form of a connection fee in accordance with the following schedules:
1. Residential Units: Each separate residential unit, or other individual housing unit within a multi-family dwelling, apartment house or trailer court, shall be considered one equivalent dwelling unit (EDU). The connection charge per EDU shall be as listed. The connection charge shall apply to all parcels and lots which have not previously been served by the municipal sewer system, and each lot of any new subdivision to be served by the municipal sewer system.
2. Commercial And Industrial: For all initial or new commercial and industrial sewer connections, the connection charge shall be based upon the number of standard fixture units (SFU).
3. Determination Of Sewer Fixture Unit Count: The department will conduct a fixture unit survey at the time a building permit is requested. This will be done through an assessment of the construction plans provided by the applicant and/or an inspection of any existing facilities. The final count will be based upon the final inspection of the completed structure.
B. Payment: The sewer connection charge shall be payable on demand to the city at the time the building inspector issues a building permit. Any additional charges incurred due to increased fixture unit count upon completion of the facility shall be paid prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
C. Residences: Until further resolution of the city council, the rate for sewer use and connection to the sewer system for all residences shall be calculated at one equivalent dwelling unit per dwelling unit.
D. Not Specifically Identified: All sewer users not specifically identified in subsection A1 or A2 of this section shall be classified as commercial or industrial users and based upon the number of standard fixture units (SFU). (1973 Code § 13.40.280)
