infrastructure that is already in place. All new connections to the wastewater system must pay the wastewater SOC. There is a local and a regional (also called MWMC charge) component in the wastewater SOC. You can estimate the SDC as follows: For the local SDC* component, multiply the square footage of your lot by $0.025 per square foot. For the reaional SDC * * component, multiply the number of equivalent dwelling units (see below) by $365. Add the two components to get the gross SDC charge. Add the SDC administration fee (5 % of the gross SDC chqrge) and the $10 MWMC administration fee for the total estimated SOC. Equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) are calculated as follows: Single family home = 1 EDU Duplex = 2 EDUs . Existing commercial or industrial property: Divide the average winter months' water consumption on the EWES bill by 6,000 to derive the number of EDUs. Assessment Financing Assessment financing is available to all property owners participating in the project. All assessable costs outlined above may be financed over ten years, payable in monthly or semi-annual payments. Assessment deferral programs are available for property owners who meet specific age andlor income qualifications. Contact Finance at 682-5037 for additional information. Other Costs and Requirements Property owners are responsible for arranging through a private contract to connect their buildings to the public system and abandon the existing septic or sand filter system. The cost of constructing the private building sewer includes private expenses such as hiring a contractor and/or purchasing the appropriate materials and obtaining all necessary permits to construct the building sewer. In 1991, the Industrial Corridor Community Organization and the City of Eugene signed an agreement allowing wastewater sewer service to be extended to the Highway 99/Prairie Road industrial area before the area is annexed to the City. Consistent with the Agreement, property owners must submit a signed Annexation Agreement to the City before a wastewater sewer connection permit or a building permit can be i.ssued. The signed agreement commits the' property to' annexation 10 years after connection to the sewer OR the year 2010, whichever comes first. Once the sewers are available, all new development on currently vacant or partially developed property will be required to connect to the sewer system. A signed annexation agreement or annexation of the property, depending on policies in effect at that time, will be required before building permits can be issued. For More Information For questions about the proposed construction schedule or assessment calculations, call Jerry Behney in the Engineering Division at 682-5560. For questions about annexation agreements call Cathy Czerniak at 682-5508 or Becky Taylor at 682-5488 both in the Planning Division. For questions about assessment financing or deferral programs, call the Finance Division at 682-5014. For questions about building permits and other requirements for constructing the private building sewer, call the Permit and Information Center at 682- 5086.
