(1) For purposes of this section "ERU" shall be defined as an equivalent residential unit which means a single family residence. For purposes of customers that are not single family residences, one (1) ERU shall equal estimated wastewater flows of three hundred ten (310) gallons per day. No customer will be less than one (1) ERU. There will be no partial ERU's. The City shall round down to the closest applicable ERU calculation at all times. (2) Except as provided in Subsections (5) and (6) of this section, for every new connection to the South Bend Municipal Sewer Works, a system development charge of one thousand one hundred forty-five dollars ($1,145.00) shall be collected per ERU and additional portion thereof to be connected. All charges shall be billed by the City at the time the application for service is filed. (3) System development charges per ERU shall also be collected from existing customers undertaking activities producing a permanent increase in wastewater flow of greater than three hundred ten (310) gallons per day. This subsection shall not apply to an existing customer who has, by contract, purchased reserved capacity from the City so long as the customer's flows remain within the reserved capacity. A permanent increase shall be deemed to have occurred when the average flow rate for six (6) consecutive months exceeds the current flow rate by at least three hundred ten (310) gallons per day. (4) For multifamily structures (e.g., apartments, condominiums, mobile home communities), each individual unit shall be one (1) ERU. For all other types of structures, the ERU calculation shall be based upon the ratio of Average Daily Flow as computed pursuant to 327 IAC 3-6-11 in relationship to three hundred ten (310) gallons per day. For structures not listed in 327 IAC 3-6-11, the ERU shall be calculated as the relationship between the Average Daily Flow reported in the sewer capacity certification for the structure and three hundred then (310) gallons per day. (5) For customers with greater than twenty (20) ERUs as calculated pursuant to subsection (4) of this section, the ERU shall be adjusted based upon the Peaking Factor as computed herein. The Peaking Factor shall be calculated by dividing the Peak Daily Flow by the Average Daily Flow, both as reported in the sewer capacity certification. In no event will a Peaking Factor less than 2.0 be used for purposes of the adjustment described in this subsection. The Peaking Factor divided by 4.0 (the Peaking Factor for residential connections) will be multiplied by the number of ERUs for purposes of computing the system development charge owed by the customer. The City Board of Works may execute a contract with the customer authorizing an increase to the initial System Development Charge based upon actual usage data that is collected after connection.
