6. High Consumption Charge:
Pursuant to Section 64 of the
LG Act Council hereby resolves:
• to make a high consumption charge
(non-residential) that applies to eligible non-residential properties.
Eligible non-residential properties have an option of
maintaining their existing Equivalent Tenement (ET) entitlement and paying
the High Consumption Charges in lieu of paying Section 64 Developer
Contributions. The non-residential High Consumption Charge is calculated
annually by amortizing the Section 64 Developer Charges for water and sewer
(presently $8,917 and $12,483 per ET respectively) over 30 years with a
discount rate equal to the 30 year Treasury bond rate (currently 3% variable)
and then divided by 205kL/y for water and 190kL/y for sewer. The figure of
205kL/y is the average annual water consumption per household (1 ET), and the
190kL/y is the average annual contribution to the sewerage system per
household (1 ET).
