RESOLUTION NO. 87- 5038
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH,
CALIFORNIA ORDERING THE PREPARATION OF AN ORDINANCE PRESCRIBING
FEES FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF CONNECTING ANY PARCEL WITHIN THE
BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO
THE SEWERAGE SYSTEM, OR FOR INCREASING THE QUANTITY OF WASTEWATER
ATTRIBUTABLE TO A CONNECTED PARCEL WITHIN THE CITY, AND PROVIDING
FOR THE COLLECTION OF SUCH CHARGES.
WHEREAS, for reasons of health and safety, it is necessary
to maintain and rehabilitate the sewer system.
WHEREAS, the Santina and Thompson report (titled: Sewer
System Analysis -January, 1985) concluded that the City sewer
system is in disrepair and is in need of rehabilitation.
WHEREAS, all new construction and development which increase
wastewater flow (when compared to existing conditions) contribute
to the accelerated deterioration of the City's sanitary sewer
system. This represents an added burden on the sanitary sewer
system, an added expense to taxpayers and a potential negative
environmental impact.
WHEREAS, on March 24, 1987, after considering several
alternatives, City Council approved a method to calculate the
proportionate share of cost. This method considers the impacts
of intensified land usage on the City's sanitary sewer system.
Land usages which are not intensified do not negatively impact i
the sanitary sewer system.
WHEREAS, City Council's decision of March 24, 1987
represents the policy and method by which the City of Hermosa
Beach calculates (Alternative No. 5) proportionate share of cost
for intensified land usages which impact the sanitary sewer
system.
WHEREAS, The Santina and Thompson report identified 8319.7

sewer units within the City of Hermosa Beach. Using $168 per
foot, in 1987 it is estimated to cost up to $30,000,000 to
replace approximately 34 miles of sanitary sewer. The cost of
one sewer unit is:
$30,000,000
= $3,605.90

fee in accordance with this Ordinance. With respect to
discharges which constitute an increase in the quantity of
wastewater attributable to a particular parcel or operation
already connected, the connection fee shall be based on the
increase in anticipated use of the sewerage system.
(2) A credit shall be allowed with respect to new construction
replacing a demolished building which had been connected to
the sewerage system or with respect to a change in use of a

applicable to a demolished building or a building for which
there was a former use, and whether or not such building was
connected to the sewerage system. The credit provided for
(2) above shall be applicable only to the specific parcel
upon which the demolition has occurred and may be allocable
by the owner of such parcel if more than one building is
being connected.
(3) The City Council finds that under certain circumstances the
transfer to a different parcel of a business operation
discharging wastewater does not impose any additional burden
on the sewerage system.

shall be allowed for the relocation to a different parcel of
a business operation discharging wastewater upon the
following requirements being met:
(a) That essentially the same business operation has been
transferred from one parcel to another and such
operation was previously connected directly or
indirectly to the sewerage system.
(b) That the business operation was owned prior to the
transfer by the same person now making claim to a
relocation credit.
(c) That the discharger has demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the Director that the business
operation has been abandoned from the parcel from which
the transfer has occurred or presented a certification
in, writing that such business operation will be
abandoned within six months of the City approving an
application for connection. Should the facility not be

abandoned within the prescribed period, the relocation
credit shall be revoked and a connection fee with
respect to the parcel to which the business operation
was transferred shall be due and payable as of the date
said parcel was connected to the sewerage system. The
connection fee shall equal the product of the number of
sewer units upon which the relocation credit was based
and the current connection fee rate.
(d) That the Director has made a determination that there
is adequate capacity in the sewerage system to
accommodate connection of the business operation to be
transferred. In no case shall the credit provided for
in subsections (2) or (3) above exceed the new
connection fee.
SECTION 3.02 - CALCULATION OF THE CONNECTION FEE
(1) The connection fee for any parcel within the City's
boundaries imposing an added burden to the sewerage
system shall be based on anticipated use and shall
equal the product of the estimated number of sewer
units which will result from the added burden, as
determined in paragraph (2) of this section, and the
connection fee rate determined pursuant to Section 3.03
hereof.

of sewage units (SU) shall be

where: FLOWsfh- Average flow of wastewater from a single
family home in gallons per day;
:'FLOWa�g = Estimated flow of wastewater which will
enter the sewerage system from a user in
gallons per day.
(3) The number of sewer units attributable to a parcel from
which no industrial wastewater is discharged shall be
calculated using mean loadings per unit of usage for
each connecting parcel's user category as adopted from
time to time by the City Council of Hermosa Beach. The
mean loadings per unit of usage for flow in gallons per
day, shall be based upon the best data currently
available, including updated sampling information and
data from other jurisdictions and publications
including the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles
County Sanitation District.
SECTION 3.03 - CALCULATION OF THE CONNECTION FEE RATE
The estimate cost of the City sewer system divided by the
estimated total number of sewer units in the City equals the cost
of one sewer unit. This calculation is performed once annually.
The cost of one sewer unit is hereinafter referred to as the
connection fee rate.
