10.01.040 - Sewer capacity charges.

Definitions. Sewer capacity charges (as defined in Government Code Section 66013) have been established for residential and non-residential development on a per equivalent dwelling unit ("EDU") basis as part of the City's Development Impact Fee program as set forth in Section 16-5-

01.080 of Title 16 of this code. An EDU represents the estimated daily sewer flow of a typical single-family dwelling unit, which is approximately one hundred forty-nine gallons per day (gpd) or twenty plumbing fixture units as defined in the latest version of the California Plumbing Code as adopted by the city in Title
16 of this code. An EDU analogue may also be determined using the projected daily average sewer flow as provided by the prospective development and dividing that flow by 149 gpd.

Calculation. The total sewer capacity charge per house, habitation, structure, or other development is calculated by multiplying the currently applicable per EDU sewer capacity dollar amount (as set forth in the city's most recently adopted Development Impact Fee master fee schedule) by the applicable number of EDUs. The following table provides the generally- applicable minimum number of EDUs for various types of development. However, to ensure that the city's sewer system provides adequate capacity to serve new development and to account for potential classification anomalies, the city retains the discretion to use the minimum EDUs set forth in the table below or a flow-based EDU analogue as described in subdivision a. of this section to calculate the appropriate total sewer capacity charge:
