ORDINANCE NO. 013-23
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 28-108 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES AND AMENDING AND UPDATING SEWER ACCESS FEES TO BE CHARGED BY THE CITY
WHEREAS, the City of Opelika (the “City”) operates a wastewater collection and treatment system (the “wastewater system”); and
WHEREAS, Section 28-108 of the Code of Ordinances imposes sewer access fees (formerly known as “developmental sewer assessment fees”) on new or expanded developments to fund certain capital costs attributable to the new or expanded development; and
WHEREAS, growth imposes increased demands upon wastewater facilities and requires that new capacity be added to public facilities to maintain current levels of service; and
WHEREAS, as growth and development continue in areas serviced by the City’s wastewater system, additional revenues are needed to offset increased costs related to capital outlay, infrastructure and debt service of the City’s wastewater system for new and expanded residential, commercial and industrial developments; and
WHEREAS, new and expanded development must bear a proportionate share of the cost of capital expenditures caused by new or expanded growth; and
WHEREAS, the City recently retained Nelsnick Enterprises, Inc., to conduct an analysis of wastewater system cost of services and to determine rate increase requirements; and
WHEREAS, Nelsnick Enterprises, Inc., issued a final report on March 16, 2023, in which it recommended that the City’s sewer access fees be increased from $1,250 to $1,700 to generate additional revenue to provide funding for needed expansion and improvements to the wastewater system; and
WHEREAS, the report prepared by Nelsnick Enterprises, Inc., provides documentation that there is a fair comparison or rational nexus between the recommended access fees charged to new or expanded developments and the impact that growth has on the wastewater system; and
WHEREAS, the sewer access fees charged under this Ordinance will benefit the new and expanded developments by funding a portion of the infrastructure improvements that will be needed to add the capacity to serve the new developments with the same level of service that the City currently provides.
NOW, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council (the “Council”) of the City of Opelika, Alabama (the “City”) as follows:
Section 1. Recitals. The City Council finds the recitals in the preamble to this Ordinance are true and correct and incorporates them as findings of fact.
Section 2. Amendment of Section 28-108. That Section 28-108 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Opelika is hereby amended to read as follows:
Sec. 28-108.
(a)Purpose. Extensions and improvements to the City sanitary sewer system are necessary to accommodate the collection and transportation of new and expanded sanitary sewer discharges or flows, to City wastewater treatment facilities. It is the purpose of this section to create a policy whereby some portion, not exceeding the actual costs of such extensions and improvements, is collected as new and additional discharges or flows, are established. In a general way, this section creates a policy whereby, through the adjustment of rates herein established, new development or growth creating new flows into the wastewater system will bear a substantial portion of the costs to the City of improvements and extensions made necessary by new development and growth. It is anticipated that from time-to-time the City Council will review and adjust this policy to achieve the purpose herein stated.
(b) Schedule of charges for new or expanded discharges. It is hereby established and declared that the City is entitled to impose a reasonable sewer access fee upon any person tapping, cutting or connecting onto its wastewater system within its service area for any structure, building, dumping station or any change of use for the cost of increasing the reserve capacity of sanitary sewer collection or treatment facilities. A sewer access fee in the amount of one thousand seven hundred dollars ($1,700.00) shall be computed and assessed for each equivalent average connection where such connection is located within the corporate limits of the City of Opelika, plus an additional twenty five percent (25%) when said connection is made outside the corporate limits. An equivalent average connection shall be considered to be usage of approximately 9,000 gallons of water or less per month, or 300 gallons peak day. In the case of a change of use, redevelopment or modification of an existing use, the sewer access fee shall be based upon the net increase in the sewer access fee compared to the previous use. Sewer access fees are charged and calculated in the amount of $1,700.00. For the purpose of calculating and imposing the sewer access fee, the equivalent average connection factor for any particular connection shall be calculated and imposed as follows:
1.Single-family Homes and Trailers: one (1) equivalent average connection
2.Multi-family Homes/Duplexes -two (2) equivalent average connection
Triplexes – two and one-half (2½) equivalent average
connections
Quadraplexes – three (3) equivalent average connections
More than four units – two-thirds (2/3) equivalent average connection per unit
3. Retail Sales – one (1) equivalent average connection per restroom
4. Motels and Hotels one-third (1/3) equivalent average connection per room less twenty-five percent (25%) of the certification of
expected water usage by a registered engineer
5. Restaurant – one (1) equivalent average connection
plus one (1) equivalent average connection
per restroom plus one (1) equivalent average connection for each twenty (20)
seats over forty (40)
6.General Business one (1) equivalent average connection per restroom plus one (1) equivalent average
connection for each ten (10) employees over twenty (20)
7.Industry Same as General Business if water is not
used in industrial process, otherwise a registered engineer must certify water
usage
8.Hospitals, Nursing Homes one-third (1/3) equivalent average
And other Institutions – connection per bed less fifteen percent (15%)
9. Auto Service/Convenience Station – two (2) equivalent average connections per restroom
10. Trailer camps or Recreation/ Vehicle Parks -one (1) equivalent average connection for each three (3) spaces served by on-site sewer connection or one (1) equivalent average connection per each six (6) spaces served by a dump station
11. Schools – one (1) equivalent average connection per
each fifteen (15) students design capacity or certification of water usage by a registered engineer
(c) Payment. The sewer access fees levied or imposed above shall be paid by the owner of each premises requiring a sanitary sewer connection upon the approval of a building permit and/or business license or change of use for such premises.
(d) Other charges. The sewer access fees levied or imposed above shall be in addition to all other tapping fees, service charges, consumption charges and demand charges now imposed by law.
(e) Waiver for CDBG Grants. Any or all of the above sewer access fees may be waived by the Mayor for premises connected to the City’s wastewater system constructed in whole or part of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds provided by the federal government where such connection is made to the home or dwelling of lower or moderate income persons as defined in the Grant application or documents.
(f) Waiver for economic development. The City Council may, in its discretion, waive any or all of the above sewer access fees for the promotion of local economic and industrial development subject to the provisions of Amendment 642 or Amendment 772 of the Constitution of Alabama.
(g) Sewer access fund. There is hereby created an account to be known as the “Sanitary Sewer System Access Fund”. The proceeds collected by the City Building Inspection Division for the charges herein required shall be paid into the Sanitary Sewer System Access Fund account, to be appropriated and used solely to pay City costs for improvements and extensions to the wastewater system made necessary to accommodate the collection and transportation of new and expanded discharges, or flows into the system.
(h) No entitlement created. This section is not intended to change any existing policy or create an entitlement. The City will continue to, and reserves the right to, evaluate sanitary sewer collection extensions and improvements based upon economic feasibility, and to negotiate agreements with persons benefitted on a case-by-case basis.
Section 3. Severability. In the event any section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph, item, sentence, clause, phrase or other word of this Ordinance is judged to be invalid or unconstitutional, such declaration or adjudication shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Ordinance as if such invalid or unconstitutional provision was not originally a part of this Ordinance.
Section 4. Repealer Clause. All former ordinances or parts thereof conflicting or inconsistent with the provisions of this Ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict.
Section 5. Effective Date. This Ordinance and the Code section hereby amended shall become effective upon its adoption and publication as required by law.
Section 6. Publication. The City Clerk of the City of Opelika is hereby authorized and directed to cause a copy of this Ordinance to be published one (1) time in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Opelika, Alabama.
