Lift station maintenance fee.
San Antonio City Code § 34-236
in effectSec. 34-236. - Lift station maintenance fee.
A customer-developer wishing to install a lift station as an element of an off-site wastewater collection system to serve a specific area must meet all SAWS regulatory requirements as they relate to lift stations and, in addition, pay to SAWS a one-time lift station maintenance fee of two hundred thirty-nine thousand six hundred and ninety-one dollars ($239,691.00) that will be used to offset annual lift station maintenance expenses over a ten-year period. The fee amount is effective January 1, 2025. The fee amount shall be adjusted on January 1 of each year thereafter by the percentage difference (greater than zero (0)) between the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) as it is calculated by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics at the end of the month of July prior to the next year and as it was calculated at the end of the month of July one (1) year earlier, and subsequently rounded to the nearest dollar. SAWS will periodically perform a cost of service analysis to ensure that the fee charged does not exceed the cost of providing the services.
