These fees are waived for fire connections made in conjunction with a building which is fully served by domestic sewer and water,and therefore,pays standard SAC/WAC charges. Water Charges will include two components. The first is a flat fee,generally covering the City's fixed costs for operation and maintenance of the supply, treatment, storage and distribution system (Water System Management Fee). The second fee is a variable rate to generally cover the cost of producing water(Variable Rate). For residential properties,the Water System Management Fee shall be charged to each home at the rates and intervals shown below, whether the home is connected to city water or not. For Commercial properties, a fee shall be charged at the rates and intervals shown below, multiplied by the number of Residential Equivalency Units (REUs) assigned to that property as determined through a SAC Unit evaluation from the Met Council. If the property does not have municipal sewer service or has not had a SAC Unit determination completed, the REUs shall be determined by the Public Works Director using the same methodology outlined in the Met Council's SAC Manual. The total Water System Management Fee for Institutional Properties shall be capped at a maximum of 5x the Water System Management Fee,regardless of how many REUs are assigned to the property.
