Additional e� r lot costs for connecting to <br /> � the new system would include the following: <br /> OWASA Service Availabilitp Fee—This one-time connectian fee represents the <br /> proportional cost of"buying in"to OWASA's existing facility infrasiructure(main sewer <br /> lines,treatment plant, etc.)and is assessed according to the square footage of residential <br /> properties. The sliding scale of availability fees that will be effective as of October l, <br /> 2007 ranges from$2,441 for homes of less tha.n 1,300 square feet to$4,514 for homes of <br /> greater than 3,800 square feet Fees for multi-family residences will be$2,645 per uni� <br /> A different scale of availability fees applies to non-residential sewer connections. <br /> Private Plnmbing Costs—The pipe that e�ctends from a building to the OWASA sewer <br /> line is called a lateral. ITnlike pipes in OWASA's system,the lateral is part of the private � <br /> property served by the public sewer. Installation and mai.ntenance of the lateral is the <br /> responsibility of the property owner,who typically contracts with a private plumber for <br /> • � installation. Costs depend on several factors,especially the distance from the building to <br /> the OWASA sewer line. A recent telephone survey of several local plumbers indicated <br /> prices in the range of$25 per foo� Tha.t is,installation of a 50-foot lateral would cost <br /> approxinnately$1,254, a 100-foot lateral would cost appmximately$2,500,and so forth. <br /> SevPer Tap Charge—This fee is for physically connecting the private sewer lateral to the . <br /> OWASA sewer line. The base ta.p chazge, effective as of October 1,20Q7,will be$318. <br />
