Colfax Municipal Code Art. IV User Classification

The amount determined for sewer impact fees and sewer service charges shall be based on the number of EDUs allocated for the use of the facility in accordance with the criteria set forth in this article and Appendix A, Sewer User Groups.

Each sewer permit and sewer service account shall identify a primary facility sewer service classification by user group code. EDU allocation shall be according to criteria defined in Appendix A, Sewer User Groups, attached to the ordinance codified in this chapter. The account shall be assessed the base EDU rate factor plus additional EDU allocations according to appropriate EDU rate factors per user group. Under no circumstances shall any account be assessed less than one EDU rate factor.

(Ord. 475 § 2(b) (part), 2002: prior code § 6-3.402)

Each account shall identify ancillary facility sewer service usage by user group code, if applicable. For each building, facility, element of equipment or operation accessory to the primary facility usage specified in a sewer service account that constitutes a discrete and additional use, additional EDU allocation shall be determined. The EDU factor for ancillary facilities shall be determined according to the criteria for additional EDU rate factors shown in Appendix A, Sewer User Groups, attached to the ordinance codified in this chapter and added to the EDU allocation for the primary facility.

(Ord. 475 § 2(b) (part), 2002: prior code § 6-3.403)

Swimming pools are usually ancillary to a primary facility usage (apartment, hotel, spa/gym, etc.) Each standard size swimming pool connected to the city's sewerage system shall constitute three-tenths EDU, in addition to other allocations on the premises. Private (noncommercial) swimming pools ancillary to single-family residences are excluded from additional EDU allocation.

(Ord. 475 § 2(b) (part), 2002: prior code § 6-3.404)

If in the opinion of the engineer or public works director, specific equipment, operational methods and/or facilities that significantly impact sewer service usage of a primary facility, yet are not defined by Appendix A, Sewer User Groups, attached to the ordinance codified in this chapter, additional EDU allocation may be made on a per-case basis.
