REVISION OF CODE SECTION 11-306 - MULTI STORIED BUILDING AND INCLUSION
OF APPROVED REBATE FEES IN ORDINANCE
Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, and Mr. Dalton, Deputy
General Manager-Chief Engineer, explained that in accordance with Board
instruction, staff has investigated the possibility of lowering the
fixture unit equivalents (FUE) for multi-storied buildings. Based on

the Uniform Plumbing Code, the FUE for a tank type toilet can be adjusted
down from 6 to 4, and at the adopted rate of $40 per unit for multi-
storied buildings, the fee for a toilet will be reduced from the proposed
$240 to $160.
After a lengthy discussion, it was moved by Member Campbell, seconded
by Member Boneysteele, that the Ordinance as adopted on May 4 be revised
to incorporate the proposed Fixture Unit Equivalent table in Article 3

CLARIFICATION ON SECONDARY POWER SOURCE AT WATER RECLAMATION PLANT
Board Members discussed the letter and map from PG&E regarding
present and proposed alternate power sources for the Treatment Plant.
The letter stated that the present power requirements at the Plant are
being supplied via a 115kV transmission source and the requested 1.8 MVA
alternate power source would be supplied from a 20.8 KV distribution
system. More discussion followed regarding the power sources. Member
Carlson queried if this dual source of supply was acceptable to the EPA.
Mr. Dolan replied that this was a difficult question to answer because
the EPA at one time had required a secondary power supply adequate to
run the entire plant. The State eliminated this from the project and
the EPA concurred. This proposed secondary power supply will be included
in 5B-I and submitted to the State for review. After State review the
EPA will review the plans and only then will we know whether the EPA
approves this concept.
PresidentAllan thanked staff for pursuing this item.
