i i <br /> ~ 1.2 Reside tial Development Rates <br /> a ! An anal sis based upon 1997 Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWER) residential account <br /> ~ data in icated a correlation between water usage and square feet of living area. The <br /> resulta t SDC rate structure applies a charge for every residential dwelling unit (be it a <br /> single-f mily home, asingle-family accessory unit, each space of a mobile home park, <br /> ~ each u it of a duplex, or each unit of an apartment complex) a base rate of $266 plus the <br /> total livi g area in square feet multiplied by a factor of $0.064. Additions to residential <br /> j units th t increases the living area wilt be charged $0.064 per square foot of increased <br /> living a a. <br /> 1.3 iVon-R sidential Development Rates - <br /> The S Crate structure for non-residential development applies a land use factor to the <br /> numbe of Plumbing Fixture Units (PFUs) for a development. This factor is intended to <br /> captur different intensities of use of plumbing fixtures by different types of non-residential <br /> ' ~ custom rs. The factors were developed based on an analysis of actual water usage by <br /> land us category, correlated to PFUs. The number of PFUs for a particular development <br /> I is dete fined using the PFU tables and calculation methods contained in the applicable <br /> Plumbi g Code at the time of permit application. <br /> The to I wastewater rate schedule shown in Attachment 2, Page C-5 reflects rates per <br /> PFU fo various development types indicated by an SDC use code. Developments are <br /> assign d an SDC use code based on the HUD/BPR land use code assigned at the time of <br /> permit pplication. For development types that are not included in the HUD/BPR land use <br /> codes default PFU flow assignment, based on the average flow per PFU of all records in <br /> the dat sample used to determine flow per PFU by land use category, wil! be used to <br /> calcu(a a the SDC charge. When, due to extraordinary wastewater discharge flow, it has <br /> j been d termined by the City Engineer that PFU flow assignment as reflected in the rate <br /> table i not a reliable measure of the development's claim on system capacity, the SDC <br /> ~ charge will be based on the development's estimated daily wastewater flow when in full <br /> use or roduction. The City Engineer may require that the owner(s) enter into an <br /> agree ent with the City to review water usage or wastewater discharge at such time the <br /> develo ment is in full use or production. <br /> I <br /> I~ <br /> i <br /> I <br /> i <br /> <br /> i <br /> i <br /> City of Eu ene SDC Methodology Wastewater, Page C-3 <br /> <br />
