The record
“The sewer connection fees are supported by the Wastewater System Master Plan 2015 Update, dated August 2017. The sewer connection fee represents the unit cost of capacity. The current number of sewer connections is converted to a standard connection referred to as an equivalent dwelling unit (EDU). An EDU relates multi family, commercial, and industrial connections to an equivalent single family residential connection based on the ration of the customer's estimated daily sewer water use compared to that of a single-family residence. The City's sewer connection fee only recovers the collection system costs.”
