CONNECTION CHARGES
All new connections or new fixture units connected to the City sewer
system will require payment of a sewer connection charge. Any
individual, firm, company or corporation making such connection shall
pay the charge at the time the building permit is issued in accordance
with the following:
(A) Single- family dwellings or units in multiple family dwellings with
14 or less fixture units (including shared fixtures in multiple until
complexes) as per Uniform Building Code and with two (2)
bedrooms or less.
(B) Equivalency factor shall be 1.0 for all uses excepting markets,
mortuaries, restaurants/ coffee shops, food service shops and
bakeries, which uses shall have an equivalency factor of 2.0.
To determine the total connection charge, multiply the number
of fixture units (as per Uniform Plumbing Code) by the per fixture
charge and that answer by the equivalency multiplier.
The equivalency multiplier adjusts for loadings greater or less
than the residential loadings.
(C) The connection fee for a car wash business is calculated by
multiplying the connection fee for a single - family dwelling by two
