5. Sanitary Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) <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 /> 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 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 /> 7. Infrastructure Rehabilitation Projects <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 /> B. Determining Sanitary Sewer Assessment Rates <br /> 1. Sanitary Sewer Interceptor Rates <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 /> 2. Sanitary Sewer Trunk/Subtrunk Rates <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. <br /> 40 <br /> 2004 Assessment Policy—Page 15 <br />
