What is SAC? <br />SAC is an easier way to say Sewer Availability Charge. <br />The Metropolitan Council charges this one-time fee when a residence or <br />business connects to the regional wastewater (sewer) system for the first time. <br />The Council may also charge SAC when a business grows or changes the use <br />of its space, which may create more potential demand on the system. <br />The Council charges SAC to local governments, who pass it on to business or <br />property owners. Some local governments also charge an additional fee. <br />You will pay any SAC owed to your local government. <br />Why do I have to pay SAC? <br />extra <br />1-1 <br />Wastewater pipes and treatment plants are expensive. We borrow money to <br />build them large enough to serve current AND future customers. SAC helps <br />pay off the debt. <br />How does the Council determine the SAC I will pay? <br />SAC is charged in units. <br />One single-family home = 1 SAC unit = $2,485 (2016-2017) <br />Non-residential properties require a "determination" (calculation) of the <br />amount of maximum potential wastewater capacity needed for the site. <br />Depending on your business, you could pay more than one SAC unit. For <br />example, a restaurant without a bar will pay 1 SAC for every 10 seats. <br />SAC is determined based on the maximum potential wastewater flow <br />created by the activities at the location (food preparation, dishwashing, floor <br />cleaning, manufacturing, restroom use, etc.) <br />Let's say you buy or open a business that is similar in kind and size to what <br />existed in the same space before. If SAC was paid, you may not be <br />charged additional SAC. Before signing a lease, contact the Council to see <br />if there are SAC credits on the site and how to submit for a determination. <br />Visit metrocouncil.org/SACmanual for guidance on how much <br />SAC you might pay. <br />55 <br />• <br />j <br />
