How will the fee be assessed on property with multiple tenants?
Each residential utility customer who lives in a multifamily unit will be charged $2. Nonresidential customers will be charged based on the amount of impervious surface they occupy and use, such as parking lots and storage buildings. Unless evidence to the contrary is provided by the landowner of the parcel which the nonresidential customer is using, impervious surfaces that are not occupied structures will be allocated proportionally based on the amount of impervious surfaces covered by the occupied structures. In any case, however, each nonresidential customer shall be charged at least $10, the lowest nonresidential rate. Where there is a mix of nonresidential and residential uses on the same land parcel and/or in the same building, the nonresidential use shall be billed at the nonresidential rate and the residential use shall be billed at the residential rate established by the City Council.
