For purposes of calculating the Land Management and Park Maintenance Fee and Emergency Management and Hazard Mitigation Fee, a "Service Unit" shall be defined as follows:

Set forth below are examples for the calculation of Service Units for different property types:

  2. A commercial establishment with one meter (service connection) will be allocated one (1) Service Unit.
  3. A duplex with one meter (service connection) to the District's water system will be allocated two (2) Service Units.
  4. For a duplex with two separate meters (service connections) to the District's water system, the account holder for each duplex unit shall be allocated one (1) Service Unit. 
  5. For a multi-family apartment with one metered connection to the District's  water system with 50 individual apartment units, the account holder will be allocated 50 Service Units.
