EAST ELK RIVER IMPROVEMENTS SANITARY SEWER/WATER OTHER COSTS There are a number of other costs associated with connecting existing homes to the City sanitary sewer and water system. These are described as follows: Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) Each property owner connecting to the City's sanitary sewer system must pay a fee at the time of the hook-up. This fee is intended to cover the individual property's "buy-in" to the wastewater treatment plant. This SAC charge is currently $1,300 per single family residential unit. Water Availabili _ty Charge (WAC) Each property owner connecting to the City's water system must pay a fee at the time of the hook-up. This fee is intended to cover the individual property's "buy-in" to the wells, elevated towers, and water treatment facilities. This charge is currently $1,350 per single family residential unit. Connection of sanitary sewer and water service from property line to home The individual property owner is responsible for bringing the sanitary sewer and water services from the property line to the home and connecting them. This cost will vary per property, depending on many variables, such as how far the home is from the property line, where the sanitary sewer and water enter the home, and what type of restoration must be done over the service lines. Existing Septic Tank City code requires that the existing septic tank be pumped and crushed and filled with dirt. This is for safety purposes. Existing Well City code allows wells to be used for outside irrigation, but they must be separated from the City system. Monthly User Charges There is a monthly user charge for City sanitary sewer and water service. These charges are based on water usage, and will vary according to how much water is used each month.
