. Direct or Indirect Discharge to the Stormwater System -- movement of stormwater from private property to a public storm drainage facility. This includes, but is not limited to, pipe connections, ditches, and sheet flow (i.e. runoff from impervious surfaces which is not contained on site and which may flow on or over the surface of the ground, does not contain wastewater, and ultimately discharges to a public storm drainage facility). . Equivalent Service Unit (ESU) -- defined as 1,000 square feet of impervious area and used as the basis for calculating the stormwater service charge for a customer. . Reduction -- a decrease in, or the elimination of, the quantity and quality components of customers' fees. The amount of the reduction is based on the amount customers reduce their discharge to the public stormwater system and reduce pollutants contained in their discharge. . Street-related Costs -- stormwater system costs attributable to the impervious areas of public streets not considered storm drainage facilities. All stormwater customers benefit from the public street network and share these costs. 5.0 Method For Determining Stormwater Service Charges The method for determining an individual customer's charge is based on a rate structure that applies to all customers. This section explains the basic rate structure and then shows how that structure relates to individual customers. 5.1 The Basic Rate Structure The service charge formula has four components, a quantity component, a quality component, a street-related component, and an administrative component. This means that the fees can be broken into and attributed to those four components. Most of the variables needed to calculate the amount of a component are single values that are determined once for the entire utility. The values falling under this calculate-once category, and the abbreviations used for each in the rate calculation examples, are: 1. fiscal year revenue requirements for the quantity component (Revenuequantity); 2. fiscal year revenue requirements for the quality component (Revenuequality); 3. fiscal year revenue requirements for the administrative component (Revenueadmin) for two customer categories, small/medium residential and general (Revenueadminres and Revenueadmingen) ; 4. fiscal year revenue requirements for the street-related component (Revenuestreet) for two customer categories, residential and commercial/industrial (Revenuestreetres and Revenuestreetcomind) ; 5. the total number of customers in the utility in each of three customer categories, small/medium residential (Number.Small/Med.Customers), all residential Administrative Order - Page 4 of 17
