EDMONDS CITY CODE (ECC) 7.30.035 Water and sewer utility general facilities charges.
A general facilities charge (GFC) (formerly known as a "connection charge") shall be paid by each new customer connecting to the city's water or
sewer system in accordance with the following requirements:
A. Sewer System GFC. The sanitary sewer GFC shall be paid by the applicant at the time and according to the date of side sewer permit issuance in
an amount per equivalent residential unit (ERU) added as a result of the development as set forth in the table below; provided, that nonresidential
building permit and business license applicants shall pay sewer system GFC when the proposed structure and/or business activity would generate
additional probable sewer usage.
2012 before 2012 effective
effective date date forward 2013 2014 and beyond
Sewer GFC per ERU $730 $2,573.50 $3,495.25 $4,417.00
1. A single-family residential applicant shall pay a GFC equal to one ERU per dwelling unit.
2. A multifamily residential applicant shall pay a GFC equal to 0.67 ERU per dwelling unit.
3. Applicants for nonresidential development shall pay a GFC equal to the ERU determination that is made by the public works director. This
determination shall be made by estimating the probable sewer usage of the proposed development. In estimating the probable sewer usage, the
public works director may consider, among other factors, the average winter water consumption for similar existing development in the city. If the
applicant disagrees with the director's ERU determination, the applicant may submit additional information and analysis from a qualified engineer, with
an additional $200.00 review fee, in support of a request for an alternate ERU determination. The director shall review the request for an alternate
ERU determination and may accept the alternate calculation, revise the earlier ERU determination based on the new information, or uphold the
earlier
ERU determination. Once the director has made a final ERU determination, the applicant may pay the GFC under protest and appeal the
determination, along with the underlying permit, to the hearing examiner.
