ASSESSMENT POLICY
It is proposed to assess a portion of the cost of the wastewater collection system
providing service to lots or parcels of land. The assessment to each property is
determined on the basis of assessment units comparing each parcel of land with a
base parcel of land occupied by a single family residence, considering the base lot to
have an assessment unit of one. The base assessment for a unit of one is set at
$2,465.00, the cost approximating a portion of the project cost to provide collection of
sanitary wastes in the sewer district service area.
The calculation of the assessment for each parcel of land is thus calculated as
follows:
Assessment = Assessment Unit x $2,465.00
The assessment unit is a composite of three separate factors; equivalency factor,
frontage multiplier, and property status multiplier. The assessment unit is thus
calculated as follows:
Assessment Unit
= Equivalency Factor x Frontage Multiplier x
Property Status Multiplier
1. EQUIVALENCY FACTOR - The equivalency factor is computed on the basis
of probable demand a user places on the system. The probable flowrate
demand is correlated to the demand expected by a single family residence
by the use of equivalency factors shown below. Equivalency factors for
types of users not listed must be determined by the sanitary engineer on
an individual basis:
