The costs of additional meters shall not be construed to include normal residential activities, including, but not limited to, car washing or lawn watering. (c) When the user is supplied with water, in part or in total, from a source other than the City water system, the Water/Wastewater Superintendent shall require the installation of a meter or meters to measure the supply of water from all sources or to measure the volume of sewage entering the sewerage system.

The agreement shall be subject to all other provisions of these Codified Ordinances.

10 STREETS, UTILITIES AND PUBLIC SERVICES CODE 28B SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. When a discharge of wastes causes or threatens to cause a disruption of the normal treatment processes, the Water/Wastewater Superintendent may assess a charge against the user for the work and materials required to maintain or restore the normal treatment processes.

(Ord Passed ) SANITARY SEWER CAPACITY FEE. (a) No person shall make a service connection to the City's sanitary sewer system or any part thereof, unless the City has issued a permit to do so. (b) The following capacity fee shall be charged for all permits issued to connect into the City sanitary sewer system for the first time and shall be paid upon issuance of said permit. (1) All properties connecting to the City of Urbana sanitary sewer system shall be assigned an Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU), or multiple thereof, with one (1) EDU being equal to average daily water consumption of 400 gallons. A. All single-family residential properties connecting to the sanitary sewer system are assigned one (1) EDU. B. All master metered multi-family residential properties connecting to the sanitary sewer system shall be assigned, by the Sewer Superintendent, an EDU multiple calculated by multiplying the number of multi-family residential units by the Single Family Equivalent (SFE) value that follows: Single-Family Equivalent Values 1 bedroom.63 2 bedrooms.75 3 bedrooms bedrooms 1.00 This division will be calculated to the second decimal place and rounded according to mathematical convention. C. All properties connecting to the sanitary sewer system that are not residential properties are to be assigned by the Director of Administration, an EDU multiple based upon the properties' estimated daily water consumption (in gallons) divided by 400 gallons (one EDU). This division will be calculated to the second decimal place and rounded according to mathematical convention. In no event shall a non-residential property be assigned an EDU of less than one (1).

11 28B1 Sewer Regulations (2) The capacity fee shall be $1, per EDU. This fee shall increase by $50.00 per EDU on January 1 of each calendar year unless acted upon otherwise by Urbana City Council. (3) The EDU multiple established for non-residential properties based on estimated water consumption shall be reviewed twelve (12) months after occupancy is obtained to determine if the estimated daily water consumption is accurate. The Director may extend this 12-month time period if accurate consumption data is not available. Any increase or decrease in the EDU multiple based on actual water consumption which results in a capacity fee charge adjustment of more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) shall be communicated to the property owner in writing. Any additional capacity fee charge or any refund of a previously paid capacity fee charge shall be made within forty-five (45) days of the date of the amended EDU determination letter. An owner may contest the amended EDU assigned to the property by filing an appeal with the Director within forty-five (45) days of the date of the amended EDU determination letter. The appeal shall be in writing and shall state the grounds for the appeal. The Director shall cause an appropriate investigation to be made to determine whether an adjustment of the EDU multiple for the property is warranted. The appellant shall be notified in writing of the Director's determination with respect to the appeal and any resulting adjustment in the amount of the capacity fee charge. Any additional capacity fee charge or any refund of a previously paid capacity fee charge shall be made within forty-five (45) days or the date of the Director's written response to the appellant. (c) New sanitary sewer connection permits issued for properties located outside of the City limits will be charged the above mentioned fee on condition that the owner of the property to be served shall, within sixty days of the time said property becomes contiguous to the City of Urbana, prepare and file or join in the preparation and filing of an annexation petition pursuant to Ohio R.C for such property to be annexed to the City of Urbana. The failure of any such non-resident wastewater customer to comply with this condition shall be grounds for immediate termination of sanitary sewer service to the property. (d) Subsection (b) hereof shall not apply to the holder of a zoning permit issued prior to the effective date of this section for which capacity fees have been paid and actual connection to the sanitary sewer system occurs within 365 days after the issuance of said permit.
