(e) An applicant for a sewer use permit where said permit is proposed to be issued and includes flows to the pump station located adjacent to 528 Alfred Road shall pay an impact fee for said pump station equal to $3.35 times the number of gallons of proposed new flow as that flow is finally determined by the City Engineer under Section

(f) An
applicant for a sewer use permit where said permit is proposed to
be issued and includes flows to a pump station located in an area

shall pay an impact fee for said pump station equal to a prorated
share of the costs of any upgrades needed for the pump station and/or
associated conveyance system to receive and convey the flows to be
produced. The cost of the prorated share will be the ratio of the
existing flows to the new flows times the cost of needed upgrades
as finally determined by the City Engineer. Fees collected under this
provision shall be deposited in a designated account segregated from
the City’s general revenues and reserved for the needed upgrades
to the affected pump stations. The City reserves the right to verify
the estimate of flow for up to five years and to increase the impact
fee as necessary.
