ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: September 20, 2011 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. S <br />SUBJECT: Policy for Charging Efland Sewer Customers with Wells <br />DEPARTMENT: Planning <br />PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) 0 <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />1. Excerpt from the Most Recent Version <br />of the Efland Sewer Rules Resolution, <br />as Last Revised on November 4, <br />2010, with Suggested Change Added <br />2. Memo from Paul Thames, Former <br />Orange County Engineer, Dated <br />March 9, 2000 <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Kevin Lindley, PE, Staff Engineer, 245- <br />2583 <br />Craig Benedict, Planning Director, 245- <br />2592 <br />PURPOSE: To consider changing the current policy on monthly billing for Efland sewer <br />residential customers who use wells. <br />BACKGROUND: There are five current residential customers of the Efland sewer system who <br />are sewer-only customers. These customers each have a well that provides their water. Since <br />these customers are not connected to the Orange-Alamance Water System (OAWS), meters <br />are not in place to determine their monthly water and sewer usage. Under the previous rate <br />schedule that was in effect from 1989-2009, these sewer-only customers had been charged the <br />fee for 3,000 gallons of sewer usage per month, which was $15.20. The fee for 3,000 gallons <br />of usage was also the minimum fee that could be charged to any sewer. customer during this <br />time. In fact, the original resolution stated that well-users would be billed the minimum charge <br />each month. <br />On November 4, 2010, the BOCC adopted an amendment to the Efland Sewer Resolution that <br />set the monthly charge for sewer-only customers equal to a bill for 5,000 gallons of sewer <br />usage. This amount of usage was chosen after reviewing other municipalities' policies <br />regarding sewer-only customers and comparing to Orange County customers estimated <br />average use. Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) charges sewer-only customers as <br />though they use 6,000 gallons, and the City of Mebane charges sewer-only customers for <br />approximately 5,700 gallons of usage each month. For all customers, the Efland average bill <br />was approximately 4,940 gallons of usage per month during 2007 and part of 2008. This usage <br />data was gathered in preparation for the rate study that occurred in 2008 and represents the <br />most recent comprehensive water use data among Efland customers available at the time the <br />sewer-only customer policy was established. <br />
