*Note (a): Connection fees for all food service operations including the food service portion of other operations such as Churches and Country Clubs shall be doubled to provide for the 400 ppm B.O.D.s loading from these sources.
*Note (b): The gallons per day that requires the largest treatment capacity shall be used to compute the connection fee.
*Note (c): The connection fee for a building with more than one of the listed uses (places) shall be computed based on the total gallons per day derived from adding together the gallons per day for each use of that building. Sewer connections for which fees have been paid in the amount required at the time the permit to connect or tap was issued, shall be permitted without additional fees being charged, except when an existing connection will service a use that contributes more sewage than the use designated on the permit, in which case, the difference between the current connection fees based on the original use and the proposed use shall be paid to the District.

DISTRICT’S CAPACITY FEE:
(See accompanying notes)
BASE-LINE DENSITY: In reliance upon District planning documents, including a study prepared by the District’s staff engineering consultant, as well as in reliance upon the Jefferson Township Zoning Resolution and Map, and Comprehensive Plan, the District hereby establishes a base-line density of one equivalent single family unit (“ESFU”) per acre (hereafter “base-line density”). Any improvement in excess of said base-line density shall hereafter be referred to as an “Additional Improvement”.
ESFU DEFINED: An ESFU, for the purposes of the District’s Capacity Fee, is equivalent to an estimated consumption of four hundred gallons per day, based upon the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency standards for a single-family home.
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IS ONE ESFU: For all single-family residential Improvements connected to the District’s systems, the District shall assign each such Improvement an equivalent single-family unit (“ESFU”) value of one (1) ESFU.
ESFU ASSIGNMENT: For all Improvements connected to the District’s systems, other than single-family residences, the District, in its sole discretion, shall assign each such Improvement an equivalent single-family unit (“ESFU”) value based on estimated average daily gallonage of standard strength sewage using “Attachment A, Schedule of Average Daily Gallonage” of the District’s Deposit, Fee and Charge Schedule. Such Schedule shall be subject to modification or amendment as the District deems necessary or advisable.
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES: In the event that any owner or developer rezones any property served by the District in order to increase the densities for single-family residence Improvements located on any such properties to a density greater than the base-line density, then, and in that event, for any such Improvement which is to be approved and constructed in excess of such base-line density on such property, there shall be imposed, in addition to other fees, a Capacity Fee of two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) for sewer services and one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for water services for any such Additional Improvements. For purposes of calculating the Capacity Fee for sanitary sewer services, the Columbus Sewer Capacity Fee shall be excluded.
NON SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES: In the event that any owner or developer rezones any property served by the District in order to increase the densities for all Improvements, other than single-family residences located on any such properties, to a density greater than the base-line density, or such owner or developer otherwise exceeds said permitted base-line density, then, and in that event, for any such Improvement which is to be approved and constructed in excess of such base-line density on such property, there shall be imposed, in addition to other fees, a Capacity Fee or two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) per ESFU for sewer services and one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per ESFU for water services for any such Additional Improvements computed in accordance with Section 423 above. For purposes of calculating the Capacity Fee for sanitary sewer services, the Columbus Sewer Capacity Fee shall be excluded.
CAPACITY FEE APPLICABILITY: Such Capacity Fee shall apply to all customers of the District, regardless of whether they are located in Jefferson Township and receive their zoning from Jefferson Township, or receive their zoning from any other entity, and regardless of whether or not such customers have been annexed to and are located within any municipality.
