<br /> <br /> <br />2004 Assessment Policy – Page 15 <br />5. Sanitary Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) <br /> <br />This is a charge billed to all properties at the time of connection to the sanitary <br />sewer system. The charge is the individual property share of the cost of the <br />interceptor trunk and treatment facilities that make sewer service available. <br />The charge is based on an equivalent unit basis. The method used to calculate <br />the total number of units for any specific property and the current unit charge <br />are based on the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) for <br />expected sewage flow from various <br />dwellings or businesses. A listing of the MCES sewer availability charges is <br />available on the Metropolitan Council website: www.metrocouncil.org. This <br />charge may not be assessed against the property. <br /> <br /> 6. Sanitary Sewer Lateral Benefits <br /> <br />Lateral benefit may be provided by connection to trunk, subtrunk or lateral <br />pipes. The calculation of lateral benefit from a trunk or subtrunk pipe will be <br />based on the cost of an eight inch (8") pipe along the same alignment at a <br />depth adequate to provide services to the abutting properties. <br /> <br /> 7. Infrastructure Rehabilitation Projects <br /> <br />Any project or portion of a project that reconstructs an existing sanitary sewer <br />facility. A rehabilitation project may occur on the existing alignment of the <br />sewer line or on a new alignment, thus allowing the existing line to be <br />abandoned or its status downgraded (i.e., trunk or subtrunk to lateral). <br /> <br /> <br />B. Determining Sanitary Sewer Assessment Rates <br /> <br /> 1. Sanitary Sewer Interceptor Rates <br /> <br />All properties that lie within the approved Service District shall bear the cost <br />of sanitary sewer interceptor projects. The costs shall be spread equally, <br />based on a gross area basis within the Service District, and will be known as <br />an interceptor assessment. <br /> <br /> 2. Sanitary Sewer Trunk/Subtrunk Rates <br /> <br />The lateral and building service assessments described below will be deducted <br />from the total improvement cost to be assessed. The amount remaining after <br />said deductions will be assessed on a gross area basis to all propertied within <br />the Service District, and will be known as a trunk assessment and/or subtrunk <br />assessment.
