REU Table
REU Rates 2009
The following equivalent user factors will be used to assess tap-in fees. For purposes of this table, an equivalent user is defined as that quantity of wastewater discharged from an ordinary single family dwelling. The volume of wastewater generated by an equivalent user is defined in each sanitary sewer district. In computing charges for commercial, industrial, or multiple residences, the number of units for which charges are made shall be determined from the following equivalent user factors. Where square footage is used in the calculation of equivalent users, it shall mean the entire square footage inside the building. When the use of a building changes substantially the number of equivalent users for the new use, a supplemental tap-in fee will be assessed for the increased use.

Where building size and number of employees are both known, the equivalent water factors shall be based on the highest projected flow factor.
Classifications not specifically listed shall be assigned values as determined by the Township, but no facility shall be assigned less than one unit.
Where multiple businesses exist at one location (shopping centers, hotels with restaurant and or bar facilities, etc.) the various businesses will be combined for equivalents.
In cases of expansion or change of existing water/sewer uses, connection fees shall be levied in accordance with the current connection fee schedule based upon the difference in the current and expanded or changed use.
In cases where an application for water and/or sewer service has been made for property which is contiguous to an existing water and/or sewer special assessment district such water and or sewer service may be granted only after the following fees have been paid:
- All Connection Fees.
- An up-front lump-sum capital charge equivalent to the pro-rata share of what would have been the property's assessment costs if the property were in the district, for the remaining term of the assessment. The capital charge will be placed in the debt service fund for future debt service payments on the special assessment. The properties in the SAD (Special Assessment District) will have their remaining assessments reduced by their pro-rata share of the capital share.
