NOTE:
There are areas outside the boundaries of the maintenance district that are serviced by the storm drainage system. The MS&S costs for storm drain, therefore, have been reduced. Calculations are bases on a total design pumping rate of 3,600 gallons per minute. The Auto Center requires a pumping rate of 360 gallons per minute, so their portion of the storm drain would be 10%.
The City will contribute 90% of the storm drain MS&S costs.
