The meter that is installed may be larger than the meter facilities fee that is charged if the service is combined with a private fire service. For multi-family complexes, the facilities fee will be based on the water meter size required to meet the indoor demand for each dwelling unit, as determined by the City, regardless of the arrangement of water meters or meter sizes at the premises. ⅝" meter $7,133.00
¾" meter $10,703.00
1" meter $17,831.00

Per pound per year of suspended solids (SS)
$11.47
Minimum charge
$9,625.00
For the purposes of calculating non-residential sewer connection fees, carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD) and suspended solids (SS) will be reduced by 70% of the estimated actual concentrations in discharge, but not lower than the CBOD and SS for domestic wastewater, that is, 307 milligrams per liter and 258 milligrams per liter respectively. The property will be entitled to discharge CBOD and SS commensurate with the actual estimated concentrations. The volume component will not be reduced and will be charged at 100% of the estimated actual daily discharge. The CBOD and SS reduction is applicable only to an estimated daily discharge of 50,000 gallons or less. Discharge in excess of 50,000 gallons per day from a facility will be subject to a sewer connection fee based on full CBOD and SS concentrations. This provision will be in effect through September 30, 2025.
Recycled Water Connection Fee
The recycled water connection fee will be based on the recycled water meter size required to meet the recycled water demand of the property as determined by the City. ⅝" meter $7,133.00
