1.1 Introduction
Bartle Wells Associates (BWA) has been retained by the City of Pacifica (City) to evaluate the City’s capacity fees as part of a comprehensive wastewater rate study. Key objectives of the study include (1) evaluating the City’s current value of wastewater assets (2) developing a capacity fee that reflects the City’s current assets and planned facilities expenditures, and (3) establishing a methodology for assessing fees for accessory dwelling units. BWA’s recommended capacity fees align with industry standards and regional trends, while considering the City’s need to address Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) developments.
The City of Pacifica contracted BWA to update the City’s wastewater capacity fees with the goals of developing fees that:
- Recover the full cost of wastewater system infrastructure and assets that benefit new or expanded development to help ensure that growth pays its own way - Equitably recover project costs associated with the increased capacity needs of the City
- Are consistent with industry-standard practices and methodologies - Comply with government code
1.2 Government Code
Development impact fees are governed by California Government Code Section 66000 et. seq This section of the Code was initially established by Assembly Bill 1600 (AB 1600) and is commonly referred to as the Mitigation Fee Act. A development impact fee is not a tax or special assessment but is instead a voluntary fee levied to defray the cost of public facilities needed to serve a new development.
Section 66013 of the Code specifically governs water and wastewater capacity fees. This section of the Code defines a “capacity charge” to mean “a charge for public facilities in existence at the time a charge is imposed or charges for new public facilities to be acquired or constructed in the future that are of proportional benefit to the person or property being charged.” The Code distinguishes “capacity charges” from “connection fees” which are defined as fees for the physical facilities necessary to make a water or wastewater connection, such as costs related to installation of meters and pipelines from a new building to a water or wastewater main.
According to Section 66013, a water or wastewater capacity fee “shall not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee or charge is imposed” unless approved by a two-thirds vote.” As such, the capacity fees calculated in this report City of Pacifica – Wastewater Capacity Fee Report Page 6 represent the maximum fees that the City can levy. Section 66013 does not detail any specific methodology for calculating capacity fees.
Section 66016 of the Code identifies the procedural requirements for adopting or increasing water and wastewater capacity fees and Section 66022 summarizes the general process by which the fees can be legally challenged. The full text of Sections 66013, 66016 and 66022 are attached in Appendix B.
1.3 Municipal Code Regarding Accessory Dwelling Units
According to Ordinance No 854-C.S., an ordinance of the City Council of Pacifica, Sec 9-4.53 – Development standards for Accessory Dwelling Units (i) Utilities (2) “… the [accessory dwelling unit] connection may be subject to a connection fee or capacity charge that shall be proportionate to the burden of the proposed accessory dwelling unit upon the water or sewer system, based upon either its square feet or the number of its drainage fixture unit values, as defined in the Uniform Plumbing Code adopted and published by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials…” BWA developed fees for Accessory Dwelling Units based on the 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code.
2 Capacity Fee Methodology
2.1 Current Wastewater Capacity Fees
The City’s current capacity fees are broken out into several categories: Connection Fees and Inflow and Infiltration Fees, Trunk Line Fees and Sewer Tap Fees – Per Tap. BWA evaluated the current cost for new customers to buy in to existing wastewater system capacity (which is currently shown as Connection Fees and Inflow/Infiltration Fees, Trunk Line Fees and Sewer Tap Fees.)
Single Family
per unit
Multi-Family
per unit
Commercial
(for 12 fixture units)
Connection Fees $1,452 $1,109 $1,463
Inflow/Infiltration Fees1 801 801 801
Trunk Line Fees2 1,098 1,098 1,098
Sewer Tap Fees - per tap 474 474 474
Total $3,825 $3,482 $3,836
1 - or $1,706 per acre, whichever is higher
2 - or $2,193 per acre, whichever is higher
2021/22 Capacity Fees, Adopted 1974, Escalated Annually City of Pacifica – Wastewater Capacity Fee Report Page 7 Based on BWA’s 2021/22 survey of single family capacity fees in surrounding wastewater agencies, the City’s current single family (SFR) wastewater capacity fee is below the regional average SFR wastewater capacity fee of $10,137. Pacifica’s capacity fees are the lowest in the region. The full survey can be seen in Appendix A.
2.2 Proposed Wastewater Capacity Fees
This report develops updated wastewater capacity fees designed to equitably recover the costs of facilities and assets benefitting new development. The recommended fees are based on an average cost approach under which new or expanded connections would fund their proportionate share of costs (in current dollars) for capacity needed in existing and planned wastewater system facilities and assets. Under this approach, new connections pay for the average cost of facilities needed to serve that type of connection in the City’s service area through buildout. Proposed fees assume 19 drainage fixture units per 1” or less connection, representing a typical family home.
For 2022, BWA calculates wastewater capacity fees to be $12,391 per meter equivalent unit, equal to one 1” or less water meter connection (the detailed calculation is shown in section 3.4 Wastewater Capacity Fee Calculation.) BWA recommends that the City charge capacity fees based on meter size to reflect differences in wastewater demand between customer classes that have varying meter sizes (typically demanding more water and producing more wastewater). This meter-based capacity fee structure aligns with industry trends in wastewater connection fees and closely resembles North Coast County Water District’s meter-based water capacity fee charges. To comply with recent changes in state law, BWA also recommends that 2022
Cost Per 1" Meter Equivalent Unit $12,391
Cost Per Fixture Unit1 $652.16
Cost per Meter - 1" Base
1" or less (Single Family Home) $12,391
1 1/2" $24,782
2" $39,651
3" $74,346

6" $247,820
8" $396,512
1 - Assumes 19 Drainage Fixture Units per 1" or less connection City of Pacifica – Wastewater Capacity Fee Report Page 8 capacity fees for accessory dwelling units are calculated on a $/draining fixture unit (DFU) basis.
The calculation is based on 19 draining fixture units per 1” or less single-family metered connection according to the 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code and is calculated to be $652.16/DFU.
Multi-family and commercial developments may also be charged on a $/DFU basis to account for wastewater demand from these customers that varies from a typical single-family home with the same meter size.
Fees were calculated using the Average (Buy-In + Expansion) Cost Methodology, described in detail in this report.
2.3 Average Cost (Buy-In + Expansion) Approach
BWA recommends use of an average cost approach to calculate updated wastewater capacity fees. Under this approach, new connections buy in for a proportionate share of capacity needs in existing assets (buy-in) and the City’s schedule of planned capital improvements to wastewater system facilities and assets (expansion). The fees are calculated based on the total cost of facilities including the capital improvement plan, divided by the total number of customers that the City is projected to serve through build-out. Hence the fees recover the average cost of capacity in infrastructure and assets. The average cost approach is a widely used and accepted approach for calculating capacity fees.
2.4 Facility Cost Valuation
There are several widely-used methods for valuing infrastructure and assets for cost recovery via capacity fees. BWA developed the capacity fees in this report using an asset valuation approach known as Replacement Cost New Less Depreciation (RCNLD) – This approach escalates the depreciated accounting book value of each asset escalated into current dollars based on the change in the Engineering News-Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index from each asset’s acquisition date. The ENR index is a widely-used index for determining construction cost inflation.
2.5 General Fee Methodology
The general methodology used to calculate updated wastewater capacity fees is summarized on the following page.
City of Pacifica – Wastewater Capacity Fee Report Page 9 3 Wastewater Capacity Fee Calculation
3.1 System Buy-In Component – Existing Assets
Under the methodology described in section 2, updated wastewater capacity fees are designed to recover the cost of existing wastewater system facilities and assets (in current dollars) as well as the cost of system upgrades and expansion needed to serve the City through buildout. The table below shows a summary of BWA’s evaluation of current assets escalated using the RCNLD Capacity Charge Methodology
Step 1 - Determine Cost of Assets and Capital Projects for Fee Recovery Determine the recoverable cost of current assets (system buy-in component) and capital projects (system improvement component) benefiting new development to be recovered by the capacity charge.
Step 2 - Identify Capacity of Facilities
Identify the corresponding number of customers to buildout associated with facilities and assets identified in Step 1
Step 3 - Calculate Cost per Unit of Capacity
Calculate the cost per unit of capacity by dividing the costs identified for fee recovery in Step 1 by the capacity of those facilities to buildout identified in Step
2. Step 4 - Apply Cost per Unit to the Capacity Needs of New Development Apply the unit cost for capacity to the infrastructure capacity needs of each new development to determine an equitable capacity charge per new connection.
City of Pacifica – Wastewater Capacity Fee Report Page 10 Method as described above. BWA estimates that the City’s wastewater system has a current value of $49,136,331 not including buildings, machinery, and equipment assets. This is the buyin portion of the capacity fee calculation. A complete list of wastewater system assets and costs is included in the tables contained in Appendix A.
3.2 System Expansion Component – Capital Improvement Plan To account for capital improvement and expansion-related projects that will be part of the City’s future asset value, the City’s capital plan is included in the capacity fee calculation. A summary of the capital plan is shown below. The City’s capital improvement plan is estimated to cost $125,002,000. A detailed list of capital improvement plan projects is shown in the tables contained in Appendix A.
3.3 Customer Base
The City’s demographic data is shown in the table below. The City currently serves 12,393 wastewater connections, equal to 12,719 meter equivalent units of 1” or less water meters.
Flow factors are determined by the American Water Works Association (AWWA).

Pacifica Capital Improvement Program
City of Pacifica – Wastewater Capacity Fee Report Page 11 Conservatively assuming that the City is a slow-growth community, the City can expect 0.5% growth in new wastewater connections per year. As the City is mostly built out, BWA used a low growth assumption. In 20 years, the City will have approximately 1,334 additional meter equivalent units of 1” water meters or less as shown in the table below. Meter equivalent units that exist today will account for 90.51% of all wastewater customers, while the 1,334 future meters will account for 9.49% of all wastewater customers in 20 years, totaling 14,054 estimated meter equivalent units in 2041.
This projection will serve as the dividing factor for the proposed capacity fee calculation.
3.4 Wastewater Capacity Fee Calculation
BWA calculated the proposed wastewater capacity fee based on an average cost approach. The fee is designed to recover costs for:
- System Buy-In Component - Existing Facilities & Assets: To be reasonable and conservative, fee recovery accounts for the book value of the City’s wastewater facilities escalated to current dollars using the ENR Construction Cost Index (RCNLD Method)
- System Improvement Component - Capital Projects: The fee recovers capital improvement project costs according to the City’s Capital Improvement Plan. Total Meter Equivalent Units - July 30, 2020

City of Pacifica – Wastewater Capacity Fee Report Page 12 costs for fee recovery are divided by the total number of customers in number of meter equivalent units through build‐out, resulting in a fee of $12,391 per meter equivalent unit. Fees for larger meters are escalated based on AWWA meter factor ratios using a 1” base. These fees do not include the physical cost of a wastewater connection. The new proposed capacity fees would place the City in the middle range for single-family capacity fees in the region, as shown in Appendix A.
BWA also calculated a cost per fixture unit for accessory dwelling units based on 19 drainage fixture units per 1” or less meter capacity, according to typical number of drainage fixtures per single family home and drainage fixture unit values in the 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code shown in the following table. This fixture unit approach may be used to estimate actual needed capacity in multi-family and accessory dwelling units, which may have less actual demand on the wastewater systems than the capacity of the 1” or less meters that would likely serve them.
As an example, consider the fee for a customer with an ADU that includes a lavatory, shower (single), kitchen sink, and toilet (1.6 gal per flush). The total fixture units would be calculated as the following (1+2+2+3=8 drainage fixture units). The cost per drainage fixture unit of $652.16 would be multiplied by 8 to determine a total fee of $5,217.28.

3.5 Proposed 2022 Fee
A summary of the 2022 proposed fees is presented in the table below.
Commercial Strength Adjustment: Fees listed above are for residential and standard strength commercial (175 mg/l BOD and 175 mg/l TSS). Commercial discharging lower or higher strength than standard should be adjusted by multiplying the standard strength fee by the calculated strength factor. The formula for calculating strength factor is:
Strength Factor = 44%+(28%*BOD(mg/l)/175 + 28%*TSS(mg/l)/175) 4 Conclusion and Recommendations
4.1 Conclusion
BWA finds that the proposed fees follow generally accepted fee design criteria and adhere to the substantive requirements of the Government Code. The above proposed capacity fees, including an increase in the wastewater fee per meter equivalent unit and cost per drainage fixture unit, represent the most up to date and equitable distribution of cost for new development for the wastewater enterprise. The revised fee structure from cost per unit to cost per meter size will align the City’s capacity fee structure with regional standards and the City’s current water capacity fees. BWA recommends that the City adopt the proposed 2022 fees enclosed in this report by following the procedure to increase capacity fees as follows:
1. Create a nexus study to determine equitable capacity fees (Done by BWA)
2. Set date of a public hearing as required in Government Code
3. Send notice of hearing to developers if specifically requested in writing 14 days before the hearing.

5. Fees may become effective not less than 30 days after adoption
4.2 Future Fee Adjustments
In future years, BWA recommends that the City update its capacity fees annually by adjusting the fees by the change in the Engineering News‐Record Construction Cost Index to account for future construction cost inflation. Additionally, the City should review and consider updating its capacity fees when substantial revisions are made to anticipated capital improvement costs or to substantial changes in projected demand. In general, BWA recommends that capacity fees be independently reviewed and/or updated approximately once every five years.

(a) Prior to levying a new fee or service charge, or prior to approving an increase in an existing fee or service charge, a local agency shall hold at least one open and public meeting, at which oral or written presentations can be made, as part of a regularly scheduled meeting. Notice of the time and place of the meeting, including a general explanation of the matter to be considered, and a statement that the data required by this section is available, shall be mailed at least 14 days prior to the meeting to any interested party who files a written request with the local agency for mailed notice of the meeting on new or increased fees or service charges.
Any written request for mailed notices shall be valid for one year from the date on which it is filed unless a renewal request is filed. Renewal requests for mailed notices shall be filed on or before April 1 of each year. The legislative body may establish a reasonable annual charge for sending notices based on the estimated cost of providing the service. At least 10 days prior to the meeting, the local agency shall make available to the public data indicating the amount of cost, or estimated cost, required to provide the service for which the fee or service charge is levied, and the revenue sources anticipated to provide the service, including General Fund revenues.

If, however, the fees or service charges create revenues in excess of actual cost, those revenues shall be used to reduce the fee or service charge creating the excess.
(b) Any action by a local agency to levy a new fee or service charge or to approve an increase in an existing fee or service charge shall be taken only by ordinance or resolution. The legislative body of a local agency shall not delegate the authority to adopt a new fee or service charge, or to increase a fee or service charge.
(c) Any costs incurred by a local agency in conducting the meeting or meetings required pursuant to subdivision (a) may be recovered from fees charged for the services which were the subject of the meeting.
(d) This section shall apply only to fees and charges as described in Sections 51287, 56383, 65104, 65456, 65584.1, 65863.7, 65909.5, 66013, 66014, and 66451.2 of this code, Sections 17951, 19132.3, and 19852 of the Health and Safety Code, Section 41901 of the Public Resources Code, and Section 21671.5 of the Public Utilities Code.
