EXPANSIONS
1.
Determination of Fixture
Unit Component for Each Dwelling Unit
a.
Each expansion/extension
permit application for residential use will be assessed a connection charge for
each added fixture unit in accord with Table No. 1 below. This table shall be revised periodically and
approved by the Board. The revised
tables so approved shall be published together with these Rules and
Regulations. The applicant shall
provide complete and final construction plans to the District for
evaluation of the fixture unit component of any new construction, remodel or
addition that involves water fixtures.
The General Manager or his/her designee shall review the
project and determine the fixture units count to be used in the formula
set forth in this rule. Fixtures which deviate
from those categories listed on Table No. 1 shall be characterized by the
General Manager as "other", and assigned a fixture unit value by
the General Manager which has a positive correlation to the anticipated
water use facilitated by that fixture.
b.
Portable
water fixtures, fountains, ponds, hot tub/spas, drinking fountains, pot
fillers, darkroom sinks, outdoor showers, outdoor sinks, pet/livestock wash
racks and water troughs shall be exempt from the connection charge and
shall have no fixture unit value.
c.
Special fixture unit
accounting shall apply to any expansion application that proposes to add a
second bathroom to an existing single-family dwelling unit on a single-family
residential site that, prior to the application, has only one bathroom. This accounting protocol shall be limited,
and shall apply only to the following water appliances if these are installed
in a new second bathroom as an expansion of an existing single family dwelling
unit: (a) a single water closet, and
(b) a single standard tub, or single shower stall, or a single standard
tub-shower combination, and (c) one or two wash basins. This special fixture unit accounting shall
further apply on a pro rata basis to any expansion application that proposes to
add one or more of the referenced water appliances to an existing second
bathroom that lacks that same appliance within an existing single-family
residential site that, prior to the application, has less than two full
bathrooms. The special fixture unit
accounting referenced above shall not apply to any multi-family dwelling or
multi-family residential site. This
special fixture unit accounting shall apply only to dwelling units that have a
final building permit as of the effective date of this ordinance.
Under this second bathroom special accounting
protocol, the General Manager shall not debit the municipal allocation for the
installation of select water fixtures in the second bathroom addition or
remodel. Connection charges shall nonetheless
be collected for the addition of these fixture units to the second bathroom
addition. No on-site, off-site or
transfer of credit shall be granted for removal or retrofit of any fixture
added pursuant to this second bathroom accounting protocol. The provisions of this special fixture unit
accounting protocol shall take precedence and supersede any contrary provision
of the Water Management District Rules and Regulations.
d.
The
District shall grant a Water Use Credit for the permanent removal of water
using fixtures providing that the fixture was properly and lawfully
installed. However, the District shall
not provide a water use credit of greater than four (4) fixture units for the
removal of any complete shower or bathtub.
e.
All
fixtures utilizing a Master Bathroom fixture unit value must occur in the same
bathroom, and that bathroom shall be designated as the “Master Bathroom.” Each dwelling unit shall have no more than
one Master Bathroom.
