2.
All
DCFAs described herein are subject to approval by the board.
3.
DCFAs
must meet all requirements as delineated in the District Capacity
Fee Implementation Guide.
(Prior code § 18.25; Ord. 5059-B § 18, 2000; Ord. 5605-B § 1, 2010; Ord. 5943-B § 3, 2019)
A.
The
charges established in this article are to provide for the proper
financing of construction of the sewerage system, the maintenance
and operation of facilities, and the administrative costs of the district;
and to achieve an equitable distribution of costs to all property
owners within the district and the ultimate service area.
B.
If
the payment of all fees except reimbursements at one time would work
an extreme hardship on an owner, such owner may make a written application
to pay the connection charge under an extended payment plan. The application
shall explain in detail the necessity for such request. If the application
is approved by the board, the owner may enter into an agreement with
the district to pay such charge in installments over a period of not
to exceed five years, with interest at the rate of 10% per annum compounded
monthly, to be charged on the unpaid balance. The privilege of prepaying
any or all of the remaining amount at any time during the term of
the agreement shall be available. The agreement shall provide that
the amount of such charge and the interest thereon shall constitute
a lien against the property.
C.
The
moneys received from the collection of annexation fees shall be paid
into the county treasury to the credit of the capital improvement
trust fund of the district; all other monies received shall be deposited
in the general fund of the district.

than or equal to 25,000 gallons per day:
4.
Commercial
or Industrial—High Strength. Strength greater than 300 mg/l
BOD and/or suspended solids, and/or requiring either special handling
or treatment:
a.
Calculation of EDUs shall be as follows:
|
EDUs = (gpd/215) x (0.61 + (BOD/300)) x 0.22 + (SS/200) x 0.17)
+ special treatment or handling costs
|
5.
General
Regulations.
a.
For billing purposes, one equivalent dwelling unit is equal to 215
gallons per day (1 EDU = 215 gpd).
b.
Not less than one EDU per building (shall not apply to residential
facilities).
c.
Special provisions can be made within each category where, in the
judgment of the engineer, application of ordinance produces inequities
or irregularities requiring revision. Prescribed connection charges
apply only to the particular uses listed. Where multiple uses, within
the meaning of the connection charge ordinance contained in the same
structure, the engineer will determine and allocate the respective
square footage dedicated to each use, and will determine a composite
connection charge composed of the respective connection charges for
each such use.
d.
Classification of shell buildings having no use when connecting to
the sewage system shall be determined based on the judgment of the
engineer based on building permit data, applicable zoning, and plans
of the developer. Subsequent modifications to such buildings may result
in reclassification and the assessment of additional incremental charges.
No refunding of previously paid connection charges will be made where
modifications are made to any structure which places it in a classification
with a lower connection charge rate.
e.
The engineer may require additional documentation, procedures, tests,
or studies to appropriately classify the connection fees. Such requirements
may include, but are not limited to, flow monitoring, flow equalization,
installation of flow controls, special treatment, and specific discharge
permitting.
E.
All residential and commercial users that have paid for their connection and use to the sewer system as of March 28, 2019 will be grandfathered as to their existing use as of that date. As specified in Section 13.12.200(D), these users are subject to the payment of incremental sewer impact fees for any intensification of usage from their March 28, 2019 usage. Their incremental sewer impact fee will be based upon the difference between their March 28, 2019 usage (credit) and the present usage connection fee required for the intensified usage.
F.
In
the event that any charges established in this article relate to mobile
home parks, such charges shall be collected in accordance with the
following provisions:
1.
Fees
shall be computed on the total number of pads specified by the application
and collected, on an individual basis, at any time prior to each mobile
home being connected to the sewer system of a district.
2.
In
the event that any fee specified by this article has changed after
such application and prior to such payment, the owner shall not be
permitted to connect any further mobile home until he or she has paid
the difference between the old fee and the new fee as specified and
computed. If such new fee is less, the owner shall be entitled to
connect upon the payment of such new fee as specified and computed.
3.
The
sewer service charges shall be computed and payable on the basis of
the actual mobile homes initially connected to the sewer. A mobile
home, once connected, shall not be deemed disconnected solely because
the mobile home is removed from a pad.
G.
Users
may be assigned to the active adult residential category through submittal
and approval of a completed application with documents that verify
the age restriction for all, or a portion, of a residential development.
Examples of legal and governing documents include, but are not limited
to, provisions contained in a deed, contract, security instrument,
or other legal instrument: covenants, conditions, and restrictions;
or other binding and enforceable documents. Users who are approved
for the active adult residential category must notify the engineer
if any of the following events occur:
H.
For
the purpose of calculating the amount of the connection fee and the
sewer service charge for a property within sewer maintenance district
No. 2, sewer maintenance district No. 3, and county service area No.
28, zones of benefit Nos. 2-3A, 173, 232, and 55, the quantity of
sewage flow from the various types of establishments shall be conclusively
presumed to be as set forth in Section 14.16.100 of the Roseville
City Code, as adjusted from time to time by the City of Roseville,
which regulations are incorporated by reference into this article,
unless the established quantities of sewage flow are in conflict with
state law as it relates to accessory or junior accessory dwelling
units. A copy of the referenced provisions of the Roseville City Code
shall be kept available for public inspection by the director and
in the office of the clerk of the board of supervisors.
I.
Properties with accessory dwelling units will be subject to a sewer service charge for both the primary dwelling unit and accessory dwelling unit. The sewer service charge for each unit will be computed as set forth in Section 13.12.350 and collected as a single combined charge as provided in Section 13.12.290. Junior accessory dwelling units are not subject to a sewer service charge.
(Prior code § 18.27; Ord. 5059-B § 20, 2000; Ord. 5752-B § 1, 2014; Ord. 5943-B § 4, 2019; Ord. 6003-B § 1, 2020; Ord. 6229-B, 10/31/2023)

B.
For
properties wishing annexation from an area where the current general
plan designation of minimum lot size is one acre per parcel or larger,
the annexation fee shall be adjusted so that the total fee paid for
each potential lot (annexation fee plus connection fee) shall not
be greater than that paid by a parcel of exactly one acre in size.
(Prior code § 18.29; Ord. 5059-B § 21, 2000)
The owners of property proposed to be connected to county public
sewers shall pay a connection fee before the property is connected.
Except as provided in subsection J of this section, the owners of
any property already connected to county public sewer shall pay an
additional connection fee before any existing use of the property
is expanded or changed to a different use or the wastewater flow from
such property increases in quantity or strength.
A.
Connection
fee costs are subject to annual increase based upon the percentage
change in the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index.

I.
All
regional capacity connection fees are exempt from inclusion in the
fee deferral program as delineated in Placer Code Article 15.70, inclusive.
J.
Connection Fees for Accessory and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units. Junior accessory dwelling units are not subject to connection fees. Property owners are not required to pay a connection fee for an accessory dwelling unit that does not require a new or separate connection. For accessory dwelling units that require a new or separate connection from the primary dwelling, a connection fee will be computed as set forth in subsection G. Nothing in this section imposes a requirement for a new or separate connection, unless otherwise provided for or required in the Placer County Code.
(Prior code § 18.31; Ord. 5059-B § 23, 2000; Ord. 5943-B § 5, 2019; Ord. 6003-B § 1, 2020; Ord. 6083-B § 1, 2021)
A.
In the event a district trunk sewer has been constructed across the frontage of the parcel property for which service has been applied and the property owner is not required to construct a collecting system sewer, the property owner shall, in addition to the payment of other required fees, pay an in-lieu fee as set forth in Section 13.12.350(A).

repair or replace the works or improvements of the district, and to
defray all other expenses incidental to the exercise of any of the
district's powers.
B.
Collected
on Tax Roll—Delinquent Penalty. The sewer service charges shall
be computed in advance and collected on the county tax roll at the
same time and in the same manner as general county taxes. Sewer service
charges shall become delinquent at the same time other taxes become
delinquent, and shall be subject to a penalty at the same rate as
delinquent property taxes. For properties that do not receive a tax
bill, a mailed billing shall be done no later than April 30th of each
year.
C.
Fiscal
Year Basis. Charges collected on the tax roll cover the 12 month period
beginning July 1st of each year. Therefore, the sewer service charge

service charges delinquent as of the date the tax roll list is prepared,
together with all penalties and interest thereon, shall be added to
the charges for the succeeding fiscal year.
E.
Lien.
Each sewer service charge levied pursuant to this article is made
a lien upon the property served, and any proceedings authorized by
law to enforce payment of such a lien may be taken by the district
to enforce the payment of such sewer service charge.
F.
Disconnection
for Failure to Pay. Failure to pay the sewer service charge, plus
penalty, within 60 days after it becomes delinquent shall make the
premises subject to disconnection from the public sewer, provided,
however, that such disconnection shall not be made in less than five
days after notification of such intention to the property owner by
registered mail.
G.
Reconnection.

to exceed 10%, the board may levy a tax each year upon the real property
in the district sufficient to cover such deficiency.
B.
The
