Quality Code Data 11/28/2016, Page 4 <br />as determined by the methods described in these Uniform Wastewater Discharge Regulations. <br />(c)For Classification C Users.Industrial and other large users shall be assessed user charges based on measured discharges of wastewater flow, BOD, and SS. Such measurement shall be obtained from monitoring facilities installed on private property at the points of discharge to the sewer system, unless another location is approved by the Manager. Both installation and operating costs of the monitoring facilities shall be at the sole expense of the user. Frequency of monitoring shall be determined by the Manager.Sampling and testing shall be performed by City staff and shall be paid for by the user in accordance with San Leandro Administrative Code §6.4.100. In the event that City staff are unable to take samples and make tests during a billing period, an average of the test results for the prior twelve month period shall be used to estimate BOD and SS discharges for the billing period. The Manager shall have the discretion of not using an unusually high measurement if it is judged to be unrepresentative of a user’s long-term use of the wastewater system and/or can be explained by a one-time event. <br />§12.5.115: CONNECTION CAPACITY FEES. <br />(a) Any person (whether a new or existing user) who installs new or additional fixtures, equipment, processes or devices, including provisions for future installation, which will <br />add (either in fact or potential) wastewater load to the sanitary sewer system shall pay to the City a “Connection Capacity Fee” as determined by the conditions and formula hereinafter enumerated. No plumbing permit shall be issued nor shall any connection be <br />made to the sanitary sewer system until the applicable connection capacity fee has been paid. <br />(b) The connection capacity fee for residential dwelling units shall be the appropriate unit cost as listed in San Leandro Administrative Code §6.4.100. <br />The connection capacity fee for converting an existing apartment building to condominium units shall be as listed in San Leandro Administrative Code §6.4.100. Non-residential users shall be assessed connection capacity fees based on the estimated <br />average day of their peak month discharge according to the unit cost schedule as listed in San Leandro Administrative Code §6.4.100, but in no case shall the fee for a new connection be less than the single-family Residential discharge equivalency. <br />(c) A connection capacity fee adjustment shall be made at the end of one year of service for all non-residential users to reflect the actual wastewater discharge based on monitored <br />wastewater discharged or metered water usage adjusted for volume not discharged to the sanitary sewer system. If the estimated wastewater discharge is low, an additional connection capacity fee shall be assessed. If the estimated wastewater discharge is high, <br />the City shall issue a refund to the user. <br />89
