CHAPTER 2. DEVELOPMENT OF CAPACITY CHARGES <br />Current and Recommended Capacity Charges, Non - residential <br />The City currently charges new connections for non - residential (commercial or industrial) <br />customers a capacity charge based on flow, BOD and SS loads for each connection. These loads, <br />multiplied by the capacity charge unit costs shown in Table 2 -3, yield a capacity charge applicable <br />to each new connection. Capacity charges for hypothetical "high strength" and "medium strength" <br />connections (both with wastewater discharge of 3,000 gallons per day) and a "low strength /low <br />flow" connection (with wastewater discharge of 600 gallons per day), using current and <br />recommended capacity charge unit costs, are shown in Table 2 -5. <br />Table 2 -5.
