ITEM TITLE: Resolution Granting Sewer Service Charge
Wholesale Nursery
SUBMITTED BY Director of Public Works/City Engineer
ITEM EXPLANATION
ITEM N0.
FOR MEETING OF: 7 1 75
Variance to Brem
V
Brem Wholesale Nursery has requested a variance from the standard sewer
service charge for their nursery at 1438 Hilltop Drive.
The Engineering Division has investigated the circumstances concerning water
usage and sewage generation at the site. Findings and a recommendation in
favor of the variance are contained in the "Investigator's Report" included
with the application submitted herewith. This report has been reviewed and
approved by the City Manager.
The sewer service charge is normally based on water usage and the assumption
that a given portion of the water used enters the public sewers. However,
most of the water delivered to this site is used for irrigation purposes.
Only a very small percentage reaches the sewer. The report sets forth the
facts for granting this variance and recommends that a uniform rate equal
to that ckiarged a single family home (presently $1.50/mo.) be applied to
this property.
