actual total monthly service charge shall be computed by multiplying the total ERUs
for a parcel by the monthly rate shown in the Salt Lake City Consolidated Fee

detention or retention facilities are eligible for a service charge credit upon

The foregoing symbols have the following meanings:
P Percentage of total service charge to be applied to each parcel.
0.25 Represents ten percent (10%) for department administration cost plus
fifteen percent(15%) for utility operation and maintenance costs (half of
the estimated total cost for utility operation and maintenance).
_ Ih
0.70 Represents fifteen percent(15%)for utility operation and maintenance

fifty five percent(55%) for a utility capital improvement program.
Factor Restricted discharge (Qr) from a developed parcel divided by the peak
discharge (Qp) from the same developed parcel which would result if the
flow restriction facilities were not in place.
0.05 Represents five percent (5%) for NPDES stormwater permit for the
parcel.

discharge permit from the state, will be equal to zero. When the parcel is
included in the city NPDES permit, this rate adjustment is equal to one.
