BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City establish a capital equalization charge by taking
the fixed and quantity charge, and multiplying it by 1.50.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City establish a residential charge as follows: For
the months of January, February and March of a year, the residential charge will be based on
actual water usage. For the balance of the calendar year, the residential charge will be based on
the average monthly water usage for the period of January through March or on the actual usage,
whichever is less. In the case of a dwelling that is not connected to the sanitary sewer system in
the period of January through March of a calendar year, the monthly charge will be based upon a
minimum of six billing units (Ccf).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City establish a monitoring and sampling charge as

Hauled liquid waste is charged based on tank size regardless of hauled waste volume residing in

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City establish a plant investment fee (PIF) upon
those developments and redevelopments that create the need for or increase the demands on the
Water Reclamation Plant. The PIF shall be established as an Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU)
as follows:
Residential Units:
Single family homes and structures with three or fewer dwelling units will be charged one
Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) PIF for each dwelling unit as follows:

Residential Redevelopments:
Structures and uses established and legally existing on or before January 1, 2005, are exempt
from a PIF to the extent of the structure or use then existing and to the extent of the parcel of land
as it is constituted on that date. A PIF credit will be calculated for properties redeveloped for
residential use after January 1, 2005, provided that an existing structure, use and wastewater
discharge to the Water Reclamation Plant was established on or after that date. The PIF credit
will be calculated at the time of redevelopment and will be based on the property uses, meter(s)
size, or number and type of previously existing dwelling units (if applicable), and the PIF rate from
the applicable Table 5 or Table 6. No refund will be made if the calculated credit is greater than
the new PIF.
For purposes of this Resolution, the term "Residential Unit" shall included seasonal public outdoor
restroom facilities.
Non-residential Developments:
New and redeveloped non-residential developments that do not have a discharge permit from the
Water Reclamation Plant will have a Plant Investment Fee based on the size of each installed
water meter, excluding those designated by Rochester Public Utilities as being installed as
irrigation meters.
The minimum meter size will be 5/8" x 3/4" and the PIF shown below is based on 25 fixture units
as defined by the most recent Minnesota Plumbing Code as adopted by the State of Minnesota
using the drainage fixture unit values shown. The PIF for the 5/8" x 3/4" meter will be prorated
based on the per fixture unit fee shown and the number of installed fixture units.
The PIF based on meter size will be as follows:

Non-residential Redevelopments:
Structures and uses established and legally existing on or before January 1, 2005, are exempt
from a PIF to the extent of the structure or use then existing and to the extent of the parcel of land
as it is constituted on that date. A PIF credit will be calculated for properties redeveloped after
January 1, 2005, provided that an existing structure and use and wastewater discharge to the
Water Reclamation Plant was established on or after that date. When these properties are
redeveloped for non-residential use, the PIF credit will be calculated at the time of redevelopment
and will be based on the property uses, meter(s) sizes, and number and types of previously
existing dwelling units (if applicable), and the PIF rate from the applicable Table 5, 6 or 7. In the
event that an existing development or redevelopment of a non-residential property requires that a
larger meter be installed, the PIF will be based on the difference in cost of the meters in the year
the change is made. No refund will be made if the PIF credit is greater than the new PIF. Where
reuse of an existing building is taking place by an industry that will produce high strength waste, as
determined by the WRP, an additional PIF will be charged based on Table 8 valued for projected
waste characteristics.
Redevelopment of Existing Buildings:
To encourage the reuse and redevelopment of existing structures in the City for residential or non-
residential use, the PIF and PIF credit shall be calculated as defined above for residential and
non-residential developments, as applicable, and shall be based on the previously existing use(s)
that existed on or after January 1, 2005. Fifty percent of the sum of the calculated PIF amount and
applicable PIF credits will be charged as the net PIF.
Mixed Use Building Development/Redevelopment:
To encourage compact, dense and sustainable use of building structures and property,
developments with a mix of both residential dwelling units and non-residential uses in the same
building, the PIF will be calculated based on these different uses. The PIF for residential portion of
the development will be calculated based on the proposed residential development use as
described above using Tables 5 or 6. The PIF for non-residential portion of the development will
be calculated based on the proposed non-residential development use and resulting meter(s) size
as described above using Table 7. The residential PIF component will be added to the non-
residential PIF component of the building. Appropriate PIF credits for redevelopment of an
existing property will be determined as described above based on the previously existing use(s)
that existed on or after January 1, 2005. Fifty percent of the sum of the calculated PIF amount and
applicable PIF credits will be charged as the net PIF for a mixed use building
development/redevelopment.
Permitted Non-residential Develoaments
This section applies only to the commercial and industrial developments that have industrial
discharge permits with the Water Reclamation Plant that specify the allowable flows and loads that
may be discharged. The commercial or industrial developments that have industrial discharge
permits with the Water Reclamation Plant that do not specify allowable flows and loads that may
be discharged are subject to the PIF based on water meter size as shown in Table 7. When there
is a requirement that the discharge limits be increased, a Plant Investment Fee will be determined
based on the Equivalent Residential Unit fee. These developments pay a high strength waste
surcharge on their monthly bill based on their usage, therefore the PIF will be based on 5% of the
rates determined for an ERU. Table 8 shows the unit rates that will be used for determining the
PIF:
