SUMMARY
The current Wastewater Master Plan was prepared in 2005 (2005 Study). Since that time, the City has had changes in planned development and flow projections. This 2014 Wastewater Master Plan Update (2014 Study) accounts for said impacts on the wastewater system.

The 2014 Study covers the wastewater collection, conveyance and treatment capacity requirements under existing and ultimate City build-out conditions, conducted on behalf of the City by Infrastructure Engineering Corporation, Inc.

The 2005 Study recommended that the Sewer Capacity Charge be set at $3,478 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). The 2014 Study recommends modifying the charge to $3,450 per EDU.
