Subject: Sewer Charges for 320 N. Farr Road, Parcel No. 45173.1003
Dear Mr. Mathereet and Ms. McGee,
It has come to our attention that there are three separate dwelling units on the
subject property. For purposes of establishing the Sewer Capital Facilities Rate
(CFR) and monthly sewer service fees, each dwelling unit is assigned one
Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU). To date, only one ERU for a single dwelling
unit has been assigned to the property.
On June 11, 2002, the Division of Utilities sent a letter to the owner and taxpayer
of record, together with an Account Summary. The Account Summary described
the use of the property as a "single-family residence". The letter indicated that
the billing of the CFR would commence shortly, and stated that if any information
was in error, the owner should contact the Division of Utilities. We have no
record of any subsequent contact from the owner or taxpayer to correct the
information regarding the use of the property.
This account must be reconciled to reflect the additional ERUs on the property.
A lump sum payment is now due to bring the CFR payments current for the two
additional dwelling units. As of this date, these CFR charges total $2,304.54.
This amount includes the principal portion of the 59 monthly installments that
should have been billed for the two additional ERUs starting in December of
2002. Payment of these charges is due by October 31, 2007.
The monthly sewer bill will be adjusted, starting with your November 2007 billing,
to reflect three ERUs, for both the sewer service fees and the CFR. The
resulting monthly bill will be approximately $188 in November. (Note that the
monthly sewer bill will increase to approximately $206 per month in 2008, due to
sewer service rate increases that will go into effect on. January 1, 2008.)

The sewer connection deadline for the subject property was March 1, 2004.
However, only two of the three units have been connected to the sewer. The
third unit must be connected to the sewer as well. Connection of the third unit
must be completed no later than April 30, 2008. A sewer connection permit will
be required prior to connection.
We appreciate your attention to these matters. Please contact Roger Rivers, our
customer service representative, at 477-7682 if you have any questions or if you
need additional information.
Sincerely,
Kevin R. Cooke, P.E.
