The City's qualified costs used to establish this sewer main capacity charge are outlined below: City City Capcity Cost Per Description Project Secretary Total Cost MGD MGD Number Contract Lift Station 101675 52888 $1,451,368.48 Sewer 102076 52889 $1,370,779.58 Mains Total $2,822,148.06 3.35 $842,432.26 The sewer main capacity charge for the lift station and sewer mains is $842,432.26 per million gallons per day (MGD) in accordance with City Code Section 35-99. The sewer main capacity charge collected will reimburse the Fort Worth Water Department. The City's collection of this charge will end when the City's development costs are fully reimbursed. The boundary area, as shown in Exhibit A, is determined for the purpose of assessment review. The boundary is used as a guideline, not as a definitive boundary for service area due to the possibility of varying lot sizes that may be proposed. If a plat meets the definition of "other development" stated in Section 35-95 of the City Code, then the plat will be assessed the water main capacity charge even though the plat may be located adjacent to, within, and/or outside the boundary area. The adoption of this charge is in accordance with Chapter 35, Water and Sewers, Article III, Division 5, Sewer Main Capacity Charges. The sewer main capacity charge boundary is located in Council District 3 and ETJ. A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and establishment of the charge, funds will be deposited into the Water & Sewer Fund. The Water Department (and Financial Management Services) is responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City.
