sewer system which are located outside of the city limits of Marysville but are within the urban
growth area of the city of Marysville or that portion of the city of Arlington urban growth area
which Marysville has agreed by interlocal agreement to provide serv ice.
(d) "OUGA rates" are those which sha ll be charged to all properties connected to the

"UGA rates" apply.
(e) "Single-family residences" sha ll refer exclu sively to detached single-fam ily

dated April 22, 1999, plus an administrative overhead cost of 15 percent.
(2) Calculation of Commercial/Industrial Sewer Rates. Commercial/industrial sewer rates
shall be based upon the quantity of water consumed or used on the premises during the billing
period, as determined by the water meter reading and the strength of the discharge as measured
by total suspended solids (TSS) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD); provided, that a
property owner may, at his own expense, arrange the plumb ing on commercial premises so as
to separate water which will be di scharged int o the sewer system from water which will not be
so discharged , and a separate meter sha 11 be i nsta I led to measure the amount of actual sewage
discharged. In such a case the sewer rate shall be base d onl y on the actual sewer use. The
installation of such plumbing and meters must be in spected and approved by the city utility
department.
Where a commercial property is connected to sewer service but not to water service, the city
council shall determine the sewer rate to be charged on a case-by-case basis, using an
estimated figure for water consumption.

Surface water utility ra tes sha ll be based on a com111only accepted rate un it for surface water
utilities, the equivalent residential unit (ERU). The ERU is used to relate a base rate fee
charged to a single-family residential parcel to that which is charged to a nonresidential parcel.
The ERU is determined by using the current best availabl e method, which may include
analyzing digital photographs, utilizing sa tellite ima gery. performin g field checks fo r
verification purposes of a representati ve sa 111ple or single-l'ami ly residences within the city
limits and/or utilizing civil de sign and construction pl ans or record drawings. Using this
methodology, the director shall determine the a111ount of impervious area on each
nonresidential parcel. The city's standard ERU a111ount is 3.200 square feet of imperious
surface area. The specific ERU ca lculation for each parcel will be rounded to the nea rest one
hundredth, will be established for each such parcel as the impervious surface information
becomes available for such parcel, and will be calculated in accordance with the fo ll owing
