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 fo r 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 s ewer connection fee based on full CBOD and SS concentrations. This provision will be in effect through September 30, 2027.
