§ 51.46 IMPOSITION OF CAPACITY OR IMPACT FEES FOR CONNECTIONS TO COUNTY WATER AND SEWER UTILITY SYSTEM.
   (A)   The following capacity or impact fees shall be imposed on all new connections to the county combined water and sewer utility system, and to existing buildings and structures for which the use has changed to increase the number of single-family equivalents (SFEs) per service unit:
      (1)   The following capacity or impact fees are imposed upon each new single-family equivalent connection or meter connected to the county combined water and sewer utility system, and to existing buildings and structures for which the use has changed to increase the number of single-family equivalents per service unit for water:

   (B)   A single-family equivalent represents the water or sewer demand of a typical single-family connection.
      (1)   The number of service units associated with larger connections or meters is calculated, based on the relative hydraulic capacity of the meter compared to the smallest meter size.
      (2)   The single-family equivalent service units number associated with each meter size is multiplied by the net capital cost per single-family equivalent service unit, which gives the net cost per water meter for water meters of various sizes, and the net cost for sewer connections of various sizes.
      (3)   In determining water capacity or impact fees, the net cost per single-family equivalent service unit as calculated above is multiplied by the service units associated with each meter size.
         (a)   As determined by the impact fee study for water and sewer system developed by independent financial advisors for the county, the net capital cost per single-family equivalent service unit is $3,451.00 per water system.
         (b)   The capacity or impact fee imposed on each single-family equivalent service unit is approximately 50% of the maximum water system net capital cost per single-family equivalent service unit.
      (4)   In determining sewer capacity or impact fees, the net capital cost per single-family equivalent service unit as calculated above is multiplied by the service units applicable to each meter size.
         (a)   As determined by the impact fee study for water and sewer system developed by independent financial advisors for county, the net capital cost single-family equivalent service unit is $5,179.00 per sewer system.
         (b)   The capacity or impact fee imposed pursuant to this section is approximately 50% of the sewer system net capital cost per single-family equivalent service unit.
