File Number: 19-374 <br />multiple-family residence is 121 gallons per day. In addition, it found that BOD for both <br />single-family and multiple-family is 300 milligrams per liter (mg/l) and total suspended solids is <br />320 mg/l. These figures are the current best estimates for wastewater usage and were the basis <br />for updating the sewer service charges. <br />In addition, the Municipal Code specifies milligrams per liter for chemical oxygen demand (COD) <br />and oil and grease. These characteristics were not studied and were not used to calculate fees. <br />Staff recommends these be removed from the Municipal Code because they may not be accurate <br />and are superfluous. <br />Finally, the Code states that “the charges and fees established for industrial users shall be based <br />upon the measured or estimated constituents and characteristics of that user which may include, <br />but are not limited to, BOD, COD, TSS, oil and grease, chlorine demand and volume.” Since <br />currently only BOD, TSS and volume are currently used, staff recommends removing references <br />to COD, oil and grease and chlorine from this section of the Code. Because the Code says “not <br />limited to,” these terms may be used without further action by the City Council. <br />Previous Actions <br />·May 6, 2019: City Council approved Resolution 19-225 accepting the Wastewater Utility <br />Financial Plan and Rates Study <br />Attachments to Staff Report <br />·Red-lined version of proposed amendment to the City of San Leandro Municipal Code <br />Attachments to Related Legislative Files <br />·Attached to Ordinance 19-375 <br />PREPARED BY: Justin Jenson, Plant Manager and Hayes Morehouse, Administrative Analyst, <br />Public Works Department <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 7/9/2019 <br />194
