(A) Single-family dwellings, accessory dwelling units (ADUs) or units in multiple family dwellings with 14 or less fixture units (including shared fixtures in multiple until complexes) as per California Building Code.
(B) Equivalency factor shall be 1.0 for all uses excepting markets, mortuaries, restaurants/ coffee shops, food service shops and bakeries, which uses shall have an equivalency factor of 2.0.
To determine the total connection charge, multiply the number of fixture units (as per California Plumbing Code) by the per fixture charge and that answer by the equivalency multiplier.
The equivalency multiplier adjusts for loadings greater or less than the residential loadings.
Plumbing fixtures routed through grease waste interceptors are charged by a factor of 2 .0 due to the additional impact on the City’s sewer system.
(C) The connection fee for a car wash business is calculated by multiplying the connection fee for a single-family dwelling by two (2) for each car wash bay.
