It is hereby declared to be the policy of the
city of Edmonds to minimize the exposure of
citizens to the physiological and psychological
dangers of excessive noise and to protect, pro-
mote and preserve the public health, safety and

city council to control the level of noise in a
manner which promotes commerce, the use,
value and enjoyment of property, sleep and
repose, and the quality of the environment.
[Ord. 2531, 1985; Ord. 2193, 1981].
5.30.020 Definitions.
As used in this chapter, the following terms
Edmonds City Code
7.50.050 Rates and charges.
The following rates shall be charged effec-
tive on the date shown to the following classes
of customers and/or service:
A. Single -Family Residential. Effective
April 1, 1998, $7.40/bimonthly.
B. Multifamily Residential. Effective April
1, 1998, $3.70/ESU/monthly or $7.40/ESU/bi-
monthly.
C. All Nonresidential Customers. Effective
April 1, 1998, $3.70/ESU/monthly.
D. An ESU is hereby defined to be the
impervious surface area estimated to contrib-
ute an amount of runoff which is approxi-
mately equal to that created by the average
single-family residential parcel. A single-fam-
ily residential parcel is one ESU. For all other
parcels, one ESU is equivalent to 3,000 square
feet of impervious surface area. [Ord. 3195 § 2,
1998].
7.50.060 Administrative rate adjustment.
The city's public works director is hereby
authorized to make adjustments to the city's
stormwater utility rates as provided in this
chapter in an amount up to 50 percent of the
rate set in the preceding section in accordance
with the following provisions:
A. Upon written application to the public
works director, a customer may request review
of the city's stormwater management utility
fee as applied to the specific developed prop-
erty to which the fee has been charged. The
applicant shall state the specific conditions
and/or facilities on the site which the applicant
feels warrants adjustment of the rate as applied
to the property.
B. On his own motion, the public works
director may initiate review of a stormwater
utility charge to any parcel.
C. The public works director shall have the
authority to increase or decrease rates up to 50
percent of the level set by the city council. The
sole criteria for adjusting the rate shall be a
determination that the physical characteristics
of the site and in particular the stormwater
7.50.060
detention, retention and/or treatment facilities
as installed thereon by the owners, or lack
thereof, have significantly increased the bur-
den which the property places upon the city's
stormwater utility (in the event of an increase)
or significantly decreased the burden (in the
event of a decrease) by providing additional
benefits over and above those which the aver-
age property places upon the utility through
on-site improvements including but not lim-
ited to on-site pollution control mechanisms or
technologies which relate to water quality and
the property's impact upon the city's stormwa-
ter management system. Factors personal to
the property owner, such as ability to pay, shall
not be considered.
D. The decision of the public works direc-
tor shall be in writing. It may be appealed to
the Edmonds city council for review. In that
review process the determination of the direc-
tor shall be given substantial weight and an
applicant for decrease shall have the burden of
proof. In the event the director has recom-
mended an increase, the city staff shall have
the burden of proof in the process. The deci-
sion of the Edmonds city council shall be final
and shall not be appealable. The city council
may either increase or decrease the rates
within 50 percent of that set or may elect, in its
sole discretion, to apply the rate as established
by ordinance if the city council determined
that such property does not differ substantially
from other similarly situated ratepayers and
their properties. [Ord. 3264 § 1, 1999].

7.60.020 Separate rates — Accountability.
7.60.030 Utility assistance fund.
7.60.010 Combination of combined water
and sewer utility and stormwater
management utility.
The city is maintaining and operating a com-
bined water supply and distribution system and
sanitary sewage disposal system and, by Chap-
ter 7.50 ECC, has created a stormwater man-
agement utility. Pursuant to the provisions of
RCW 35.67.331, the present combined water
and sewer utility, and the stormwater manage-
ment utility, together with all additions, exten-
sions and betterments thereof at any time made,
are hereby combined into a single utility; pro-
vided that the accounting procedure for each
system shall be kept separate as required by
RCW 35.37.010. The combined water, sewer
and stormwater management utility of the city,
together with all additions, extensions and bet-
terments thereof at any time made, shall here-
inafter be called the "combined utility."
7.60.020 Separate rates — Accountability.
The council declares its intent to establish
rates for the combined water and sewer utility
and stormwater management utility. In order
to better account for the costs of the respective
components of the combined utility, the
administrative services director is directed to
maintain such separate funds and accounting
structures as may be necessary to discretely
account for the costs, expenses and revenues of
each component utility. When the staff makes
recommendations for the establishment,
increase or decrease in any rate, it is directed to
(Revised 5/02) 7-18
provide supporting data which separately
reflects such costs, expenses and revenues for
each component utility.
7.60.030 Utility assistance fund.
A. Purpose. The city council establishes the
utility assistance fund in order to accept, hold
and dispense funds contributed either from the
city's general fund, from charitable and civic
organizations or from individual rate -payers
who have made donations for the assistance of
a category of citizens known under Article 8,
Section 7 of the Washington State Constitution
as the "poor and infirm" and under other pro-
visions of other state statutes and local ordi-
nance as the low-income, elderly and disabled.
B. Disbursement. Such monies as are con-
tributed shall be held and disbursed to persons
qualifying for the assistance programs estab-
lished by ECC 7.30.070 and the provisions of
state law incorporated in that section. Dis-
bursements may be made, to the extent of
monies held within the fund, for utility
charges, connection fees, and other exactments
levied by the utilities which, taken as whole,
constitute the combined utility. The monies
may be expended for purposes which gener-
ally benefit the public health, safety and wel-
fare or are designated by the donor of the fund.
C. The administrative services director or
his/her designee is hereby authorized to adopt
forms and procedures for the acceptance of
contributions to the fund and for the disburse-
ment of monies from the fund. [Ord. 3393 § 1,
2002].
