Section 1001 - Ordinance Table A Definition
The Ordinance Table A is a list of commonly known user classes. Each user class has an assigned ERU. The ERU includes strength and flow that are typically based on an industry-wide average and/or actual water flow figures with strengths added. The ERUs listed for each user class in Ordinance Table A shall be utilized in calculating average and maximum daily flows. An ERU for average daily flow equals 150 gallons per day plus strength.
Section 1002 - Ordinance Table A Formula
Formula to determine ERU
Annual Water Consumption divided by 360 days = Daily Use
Daily Use divided by unit for charge = Daily Use per Unit
Daily Use per Unit divided by 150 = Flow
Flow x strength = ERU
An ERU for Daily Flow = 150 gallons per day plus strength
Section 1003 - Modifications to the Table A for Commercial User Classes
Modifications may be heard by the Board of Directors at a public hearing annually, or at other times deemed necessary by the Board of Directors. If a commercial user class property owner requests and receives Board approval for a special hearing, other than a hearing called specifically by the Board of Directors, they may be required to reimburse the District for expenses incurred resulting from the request for hearing, regardless of the results. Such expenses may include, but are not limited to, attorney fees, administration costs, publishing, posting, and printing. An estimate of the anticipated expenses may be provided to the property owner upon request. It is the sole responsibility of the property owner to reimburse the District within 30 days of invoice.
Modifications may be considered on a single commercial user class basis, upon written request by the property owner or a Board member. The property owner shall contact the Water Company and request a record of their water usage be submitted to the District office. The strength will be applied to a minimum of 12 consecutive months of active business water flow records, obtained from the local Water Company within the District, to determine the ERU. For user classes with two or more customers currently in operation on the system, research results may be combined for the ERU modification consideration. To be considered the modification should be 10% or more above or below the adopted ERU.
