E. Alternate nonresidential tapping fee calculation.
The applicant may elect to enter into an alternate nonresidential
tapping fee agreement with the Township if the applicant can reasonably demonstrate,
using flow data for a period of at least one year and any other supporting
documentation supplied by the applicant and acceptable to the Township,
that the above nonresidential EDU conversion schedule does not adequately
reflect the volume of wastewater flow capacity to be reserved. The
rules and regulations governing an applicant's right to utilize the
alternate nonresidential tapping fee agreement shall be set forth
in the alternate nonresidential tapping fee agreement. The Township
reserves the right to revise the rules and regulations governing the
alternate nonresidential tapping fee agreement EDU calculations from
time to time.
