they mean that the County is a regional user (a Targe user); that <br />private utilities are a large user; and the City of Vero Beach, <br />if they were in the system, would be a large user. Based on <br />that, there are 3 ways to calculate a regional charge. <br />(1) Everything on a volume basis; (2) Everything on a fixed <br />basis; and (3) On a combination basis, with a portion being a <br />fixed charge and a portion being volume charge, which is very <br />similar to a water rate where you have a base facility charge, <br />which is a fixed charge per month regardless of how much water <br />you use. Mr. Adams advised that they have developed a rate <br />structure similar to the combination alternative for both sludge <br />and septage. As shown in the following charts, without the City <br />of Vero Beach, the volume charge for sludge actually doubles, and <br />the yearly charge for a septic tank owner goes from $10 with the <br />City to $16 without. However, as the customer base increases, <br />the cost to the average customer decreases: <br />0 <br />RATE STRUCTURE COMPARISON <br />OF PRELIMINARY CHARGES FOR <br />SLUDGE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL <br />CAPACITY VOLUME <br />(PER DRY (PER 1,000 <br />TON PER DAY) GALLONS) <br />WITH • <br />VERO BEACH $195 $25 <br />WITHOUT <br />VERO BEACH $300- $50 <br />DEC 21 1989 <br />21 <br />BOOK. 78 f'AGE 747 <br />
