F. Excess Sewage Strength Charge. All sewage discharged into the
sanitary sewer system which has an average concentration of biochemical oxygen
demand (BODS) of 250 milligrams per liter (mg/l) or greater or an average concen-

strength charge. The amount of the excessive strength charge shall be equal to the

in mg/1 divided by 250, minus 1; or the amount of the customer's average concentra-
tion of suspended solids in mg/l divided by 250, minus 1. Any customer may sample
its sewage and have it analyzed by an analytical laboratory approved by the Florida
Department of Environmental Regulation. The County may sample and conduct
anaysis -of the sewage produced by any customer to determine sewage strength.

less any amount remaining unpaid. In the event any customer service is shut off for
non-payment, prior to reconnection the customer will pay the accrued base facilities
charge plus, if at the discretion of the Department it is necessary to insure payment, a

schedule set forth hereafter. Customers who have not been assessed late payment
fees or been shut off for non-payment for a period of 24 months shall receive a

IMPACT FEES
A. Impact fee imposed. An impact fee shall be imposed on each
ERU responsible for creating the need for additional system expansion based on the
equitable portion of the cost of funding the extension of the County's sewer and water
systems. The obligation to pay the impact fee shall occur at the earliest of the
following dates: when the capacity is reserved, when a water or sewer permit is
granted, or when a building permit is issued.
B. Change in land use. If a building permit or certificate of
occupancy is issued for an existing customer that results in a change in ERU designa-
tion, the total number of ERUs for the old and new parts of the facility will be com-
puted according to the definition of ERUs and impact fees shall be assessed on the
difference.
C. Use of proceeds. The proceeds accumulated by reason of the
establishment of the impact fees may be used only for capital expenditures for the
expansion of the County's water system or wastewater system. The funds may be
used for extending, oversizing, or constructing new additions to the treatment plant or
distribution and/or collection and interceptor facilities so as to meet the increased
demand which additional connections to the system create.
D. Time payment of impact fee upon showing of hardship. The
County may allow payment of the water and/or sewer impact fees in whole or in part
over a period not to exceed 5 years at such interest rate to be determined by the
Board. A lien for any such amount due shall be executed in recordable form
reflecting the payment schedule and may be filed in the public records of Indian
River County, Florida. Upon all payments being made in full, the lien shall be
released of record.

been paid, may make application to the Department to reduce the number of ERUs
assigned and seek corresponding reimbursement of impact fees paid. In no case will
less than one ERU per living unit be assigned. The County may refund impact fees
actually paid, without interest, based on the impact fee schedule in effect at the time
of original payment, provided the Department has resold such ERUs. Subsequent

SECTION 201.10
EXTENSION OF WATER AND SEWER SERVICES WITHIN
DEVELOPMENTS
Each developer shall be responsible for the design, installation,
inspection and testing of the complete water distribution and sewage collection
systems located in the street or streets adjoining or within the boundaries of the
developer's property. The developer with title to such facilities shall transfer title to
the facilities to the County upon completion of construction, inspection, and testing
and acceptance by the County,
Water distribution and sewage collection systems shall include all
component parts of water distribution system including valves, fittings, laterals,
hydrants and all appurtenances as shown upon the approved design of such water
distribution system and all the components of the sewage collection system, including
all collection lines, manholes, force mains, lift or pumping stations, including the site
for same, and all other appurtenances as shown on the approved design for
installation of such sewage collection systems. The developer shall supply the County
with two sets of as -built plans and mylars.
SECTION 201.11

SERVICES TO DEVELOPMENTS
The location, size or proposed densities of a developer's property may
make the feasibility of utility service to the property dependent upon the developer's

extension of water distribution and sewage collection facilities, including mains, water
transmission lines, sewage collection lines, sewage force mains and/or pumping
stations from the developer's property to facilities of the County adequate in size to
convey flows between the developer's property and County's facilities. It is the
County's policy to expand its water and sewer system in an orderly, economical
manner, and in those cases in which the County would not normally be expanding its
system to serve a developer's project at that time and when such an extension
requires an expenditure by the County for transmission facilities for which the County
incurs extraordinary costs, then such developer shall be required to construct or pay
the cost of the facilities associated with serving his project. In this event, the County
shall negotiate an agreement with the developer requesting service setting forth the
developer's responsibility for off-site facilities and the County's responsibility for
requiring such facilities to be oversized to meet future demands. In addition to or in
lieu of direct funding by the developer, the County may require a refundable advance
by the developer to temporarily defray the cost of any extension of water and/or
sewer mains and pumping stations necessary to connect the developer's property to
the County's water and sewer facilities. This provision recognizes instances in which a
developer may be required to advance funds to construct facilities sized in accordance
with the County's Master Plan. All amounts expended by the developer pursuant to
such an agreement over and above the developer's hydraulic share for facilities shall
be refunded to developer in accordance with the terms and conditions of a refunding
agreement which the County will execute with the developer. County may assume a
portion of the cost of such projects when it deems it to be in the best interest of the
County utility system. The refund agreement shall provide for a plan of refund based
upon the connection of other properties, to the extent of their hydraulic share, which
properties will be served by the facilities installed by the developer. In the event that
more than one developer has paid a refundable advance or has directly funded con-
struction of conveyance facilities used by another developer from whom impact fees
are collected, the developer having first funded facilities shall have first right of cost
recovery until his investment less the cost of his own reserved share of such capacity

SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - 12:03:09 - OfficialDocuments:607, Attachment Id 0, Page 19
is recovered. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the County will limit the
life of such refund agreement to a term of not more than 5 years, after which time
any portion of the refund not made to the developer by the terms and conditions of
the refund agreement will have lapsed and thereafter such refund agreement shall be
canceled. The developer shall not be entitled to any interest upon the refund of the
developer's advance.
SECTION 2n> i?
EXISTING AGREEMENTS
County recognizes that certain developer agreements have been
executed by the County and developers in the past. Nothing in this ordinance shall
be construed to alter, abrogate, obviate or avoid the respective obligations of the
parties in those agreements.

SECTION 201.19
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN PLUMBING SYSTEM
Failure to keep the pipe leading from the plumbing system to the sewer
main and the pipe leading from the water meter to the plumbing system clean and
maintained in a proper manner will give the County the right to cut off the water
connection, which shall not be reconnected until the sewer and/or water pipe is
cleaned, repaired, and maintained properly. Any violation of this provision by
reconnecting the connection from the County water line, until such sewer pipes are
cleaned, repaired, and maintained properly, shall be considered a violation of this
ordinance and subject to the penalties hereinafter provided.
