Sewer Capacity Fee - East Shafter

“WHEREAS, the Charges recover the proportional cost of participation in the NORSD WWTP, which is necessary for the treatment and disposal of wastewater, as well as the City's wastewater system, which is necessary for the conveyance of wastewater to the WWTP, and were structured to recover only the proportional share of existing WWTP or City infrastructure, as well as the cost of new facilities necessary to provide wastewater service”

“The City Council finds that the Charges are intended to fund as-yet unknown, future projects, programs, and capital improvement projects related to the City's need to finance capital improvements to provide adequate infrastructure to meet growth-related needs. This Ordinance does not commit the City to approve any particular project, program, or capital improvement, but will be placed in a separate fund for potential future projects.”

“WHEREAS, the City provides wastewater service to four wastewater service sub-areas (consolidated from six sub-areas), which each have distinct costs and infrastructure necessary for provision of wastewater service; and WHEREAS, the City proposes to continue imposing the Charges per single family residential equivalent (each an "SFRE"), adjusted to the amounts set forth in Exhibit "A" hereto, with the sub-areas subject to the Charges described more particularly in Exhibit "B" hereto”
