I. Amount of fee: the plant water investment fee for customers seeking service through new, additional, or increased size of meter, or number of units will be as follows:
Multi-Family Residential dwelling units which are served through a single meter shall pay a plant water investment fee of $2,146 for each unit. If, however, such charges are less than the minimum plant water investment fee based on meter size listed in the Table I below, the customer shall pay the minimum plant water investment fee based on the meter size installed.
Commercial-Industrial customers who take service through a ¾-inch through 1½-inch meter shall pay the plant water investment fee listed in the Table II below.
Commercial-Industrial Customers who take service through a 2-inch or 3-inch meter shall pay the plant water investment fee listed in the Table III below unless the projected maximum day demand for the 2-inch meter exceeds 11,900 gallons per day or the projected maximum day demand for the 3-inch meter exceeds 21,600 gallons per day.
For Commercial-Industrial customers who take water service through a 2-inch meter with a maximum day demand that exceeds 11,900 gallons per day, or through a 3-inch meter with a maximum day demand that exceeds 21,600 gallons per day, or for all water service through 4-inch, 6-inch or 8-inch meters, the Board shall calculate the plant water investment fee that the Commercial-Industrial customer will be required to pay based on the actual demand to be placed on the Board’s system. Commercial-Industrial customers that take service through 2-inch and larger meters shall provide detailed engineering documentation to the Board that estimates the actual demand (maximum day demand and maximum hour demand) to be placed on the Board’s system. The Board shall review the customer’s actual maximum day demand over the first three years of operation and at any point in the future that the customer’s operation expands its water use. If the customer’s maximum day demand has increased by more than 10 percent, the Board will recalculate the plant water investment fee and the customer shall pay the difference between the original fee paid and the increased fee that is calculated. The credit for the original fee shall be based on current calculated values utilizing the original maximum day demand. No customers who took water service through a 2-inch or larger meter prior to July 21, 2009, shall be subject to this provision unless a change in service is requested.
