Sanitary Sewer Building Services <br />Those pipes, usually four-inch (4") or six-inch (6") in size leading from <br />laterals (or sometimes from trunks, subtrunks and interceptors) that serve <br />individual buildings. The services are plugged at the property line until <br />such time that a building is connected to thc scwer system. The property <br />owner must make arrangemcnts with a licensed, bonded plumber to <br />complete tile service comlection. <br /> <br />5. Sanitary Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) <br />This is a charge billed to all properties at the time of connection to the <br />sanitary sewer system. The charge is the individual property share of the <br />cost of the interceptor trunk and treatment facilities that make sewer <br />service available. The charge is based on an equivalent unit basis. The <br />method used to calculate the total number of units for any specific <br />property and the current unit charge are based on the Metropolitan Council <br />Environmental Services (MCES) for expected sewagc flow from various <br />dwellings or businesses. A listing of the MCES sewer availability charges <br />is available on the Metropolitan Council website: www.metrocouncil.org <br />This charge may not be assessed against the property. <br /> <br />6. Sanitary Sewer Lateral Benefits <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 <br />be based on the cost of an eight inch (8") pipe along the same alignment at <br />a depth adequate to provide services to the abutting properties. <br /> <br />7. Infrastructure Rehabilitation Proiects <br />Any project or portion of a project that reconstructs an existing sanitary <br />sewer facility. A rehabilitation project may occur on the existing <br />alignment of the sewer line or on a new alignment, thus allowing the <br />cxisting line to be abandoncd or its status downgraded (i.e., trunk or <br />subtrunk to lateral). <br /> <br />B.
