NOTES:
1 Occupancies which
typically have variable or seasonally high wastewater demands (i.e.,
car washes, restaurants, laundromats, etc.) will be assessed the minimum
number of units as specified under the schedule of chargeable units.
Units in addition to the minimum may be assessed to reflect excessive
wastewater usage, where 18,250 gallons of metered water per quarter
increment (200 gpd or 73,000 gallons per year), or portion thereof,
will be assessed one unit. The greater of the two unit assessments
will be billed.
| |
Example: car wash with 4 bays.
| |
Quarterly metered water consumption: 265,000
gallons/quarter
| |
Minimum quarterly assessment: 4 bays x 3 units
= 12 units
| |
Water consumption based assessment: 265,000
gallons/quarter - (12 units x 18,500 gallons/quarter) = 46,000 gallons/quarter
overage.
| |
Additional charge, excess water use: 46,000
gallons/18.500 gallons = 2.52 units, considered 3 units by portion
thereof.
| |
Total quarterly unit assessment: 12 units +
3 units = 15 units.
| |
2 Unit assessment
for industrial users with variable demands and loads will be considered
on an individual basis.

3 Vacant parcel - See Article II, Definitions, for "buildable lot."
