2013 Update of Water and Wastewater Impact Fees <br />4.0 CURRENT /PROJECTED UTILITY DEMAND VERSUS EXISTING UTILITY CAPACITY <br />Table 2 indicates the number of water and wastewater utility connections by water meter size <br />and what is termed a standard Living Unit Equivalent (LUE) conversion factor for meters of <br />varying sizes. The standard meter size for a single family residential house in San Marcos is a <br />5/8" water meter, which is considered to be one LUE. <br />Based on American Water Works Association standards, the equivalent number of Living Unit <br />Equivalents (LUEs) can be determined for water meters of larger size. In this manner, meters of <br />larger size (i.e. larger potential service demands) can be couched in terms of the equivalent <br />demand of a number of typical single family homes. For this reason, the LUE concept is a <br />useful tool for being able to apply a base fee amount to service requests of varying meter sizes. <br />TABLE 2 <br />LIVING UNIT EQUIVALENT UNIT CONVERSION FACTORS <br />CITY OF SAN MARCOS <br />WATER <br />5/8" <br />1.00 <br />9,159 <br />9,159 <br />3/4" <br />1.5 <br />230 <br />345 <br />1" <br />2.5 <br />384 <br />960 <br />1.5' <br />5.0 <br />161 <br />805 <br />2" <br />8.0 <br />343 <br />2,744 <br />3" <br />16.0 <br />63 <br />1,008 <br />4" <br />25.0 <br />38 <br />950 <br />6" <br />50.0 <br />19 <br />950 <br />8" <br />80.0 <br />21 <br />1,680 <br />10" <br />115.0 <br />1 <br />115 <br />30" <br />5,000.0 <br />1 <br />- <br />Total Water <br />10,420 <br />18,716 <br />WASTEWATER <br />5/8" <br />1.00 <br />8,150 <br />8,150 <br />3/4" <br />1.5 <br />196 <br />294 <br />1" <br />2.5 <br />297 <br />743 <br />1.5' <br />5.0 <br />139 <br />695 <br />2" <br />8.0 <br />298 <br />2,384 <br />3" <br />16.0 <br />58 <br />928 <br />4" <br />25.0 <br />35 <br />875 <br />6" <br />50.0 <br />18 <br />900 <br />8" <br />80.0 <br />21 <br />1,680 <br />10" <br />115.0 <br />1 <br />115 <br />Total Wastewater <br />9,213 <br />16,764 <br />(a) Derived from AW WA C700 -C703 standards for continuous rated flow performance scaled to 5/8" meter <br />(b) Source: City of San Marcos, June 2013. <br />City of San Marcos, Texas 6 <br />
