Method for City of Eugene SDC Rates <br /> Table 1 provides an overview of the basis of the rate setting methodology; outlining the basic <br /> rates, cost basis, service standards and means of implementation for each system charge. <br /> New development should not be charged for a higher level of service than that currently <br /> provided to the community or to which the community has committed future resources. <br /> Therefore, additional capacity needs are determined using the City's existing level of service <br /> or the City's funded level of service. In a similar manner, new development should be credited <br /> I for past and future bond payments an infrastructure related existing debt (Metropolitan <br /> <br /> I ; Wastewater Management Commission [MWMC]) and past trunk sewer levies. <br /> i <br /> May 1, 1997 City of Eugene SDC Methodology Page 2 <br /> <br />
