(3) Change by Ordinance: Any change in the City sewer <br /> availability charge amount, as hereinafter set forth shall be <br /> by Ordinance Amendment. <br /> B. Determination of Charge. The amount of the availability charge <br /> shall be determined by the City by first determining the number of <br /> Equivalent Residential Connections (ERC's) applicable to the <br /> particular property. The number of ERC's shall be calculated in <br /> accordance with the Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) Procedural <br /> Manual (using the most current edition) from the Environmental <br /> Services division of the Metropolitan Council (located in St. Paul). <br /> The number of ERC's shall equal the number of SAC units from <br /> this document.All residential units are 1 ERC or 1 SAC, except for <br /> apartments with a minimum of 4 units. For apartments with a <br /> minimum of 4 units, with no plumbing for individual laundry <br /> facilities in any of the units, each unit is counted as 0.8 ERC, or 0.8 <br /> SAC. For various non-residential types of establishments, this <br /> document includes an Appendix A: SAC Criteria for Commercial <br /> Properties. Once the appropriate number of ERC's are determined <br /> in this manner, the availability charge shall be calculated using the <br /> most recent ordinance establishing the availability charge. <br /> C. Determination of ERC's. The City shall determine the number of <br /> ERC's. <br /> D. Transfer of ERC's. Once established, the number of ERC's shall <br /> remain the same on the property. An ERC can be transferred on the <br /> property from a structure being removed to a structure being <br /> constructed. <br /> E. Uses Not in the Reference Document. Any use not represented in <br /> the above SAC Reference Document shall be subject to <br /> determination of the appropriate number of ERC's by the City <br /> based on estimated flows. <br />
