For purposes of establishing stormwater service fees pursuant to IC § 8-1.5-5-7, the following procedures and rates shall apply:
(A) An ERU of 1.0 is assigned to each Type A Property. The ERU for each Type B Property shall be determined by the following formula:
ERU =
ISA
3,497
The minimum ERU for a property is 1.0.
(B) The user fee for one ERU shall be $4 per month. For ERU greater than 1.0, the user fee shall be multiplied by the ERU to determine the monthly user fee. For billing purposes, the ERU will be rounded to the nearest 0.1 ERU.
(C) No landowner shall incur a user fee greater than $225 per month, regardless of the number of ERUs computed for the landowner's property. A fee of $235 per month is a fee generated as a result of 200,000 square feet of ISA. Landowners with multiple locations likewise shall not incur a user fee greater than $225 per month.
(D) The user fee for unoccupied buildings shall be billed to the landowner if no other utilities are being actively billed. If, however, the building is not presently receiving other utility services, no stormwater bill shall be issued.
(E) In situations where a residence has separate service to a building on the premises, only one user fee (one ERU) will be charged to the residence.
(F) Current Peru Utilities customers within the corporate boundaries of the City of Peru shall be billed unless a building is known to rent commercial space to more than one entity, such as a commercial strip mall. In this case the property owner shall be billed for the entire parcel.
(G) Service rates shall be effective July 5, 2004 and shall be included in the bill issued by Peru Utilities and shall be designated as the stormwater fee, or wording to that effect. Peru Utilities is hereby authorized to include the applicable stormwater fee on the monthly bill of each customer without the necessity of the customer authorizing the charge. Peru Utilities is also authorized to collect the fee in the same manner and with the same remedies, including legal actions and liens, with which it is authorized to collect fees for electric, water and sewer services.
(H) Peru Utilities shall remit collections to the City Clerk Treasurer in a lump sum on a monthly basis. Peru Utilities shall deduct from the payment any monies used for placement of liens, bad check recalls and returned deposits on other utilities.
