Approved by Resolution #01-25
SEWER CONNECTION FEE:
Definitions of Equivalent Domestic Unit (EDU)
1. Connection Fee:
The Connection Fee shall be calculated annually in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:14A-8. The SMRSA 2025 Calendar/Fiscal year Sewer Connection Fee per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) has been calculated to be $2,545.00 per EDU.
2. Residential Uses
Each apartment, townhouse, single-family dwelling, or similar type of housing unit, shall be assigned 1.0 EDU.
3. Other Than Residential Uses:
The number of EDU’s assigned to any use, other than residential, will be based on the proposed estimated average daily flow of the proposed connector in accordance with provisions of the New Jersey Administrative Codes more specifically N.J.A.C. 7:14A-23.3 (Projected Flow Criteria) as supplemented therein on March 20, 2006, and approved by the Executive Director of the Authority, divided by the average daily flow of sewage for the average single-family residence in the Authority’s service area. Each “Other Than Residential” use, shall be assigned a minimum of 1.0 EDU. Fractional number of EDU’s shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number EDU.
The average daily flow of a single-family residence shall be calculated annually, at the end of the calendar/fiscal year, and be utilized for determining the number of EDU’s assigned to “other than residential” units in the subsequent fiscal year.
The average daily flow of a single-family home for purposes of determining the number of EDU’s assigned to “other than residential” units for the 2025 Calendar/Fiscal year is 208 gpd. The average daily flow of a single-family residence was calculated by dividing the 2024 Average Daily Flow (as metered by the Authority), by the total number of residential and “other than residential (equivalent dwelling unit)” connections to the system.
