Wastewater Capital Facility Fee Calculation Factor
Capital Facility Fee $4,589.00 Per EDU
Notes:
1. EDU = Equivalent Dwelling Unit
2. The wastewater capital facility fee shown here is only for the City of Santa Monica’s
wastewater system and does not include LA ASSFC fees.
The Wastewater Capital Facility Fee is calculated based on wastewater flow and
strength. For any other land use not listed above, the Wastewater Capital Facility Fee
shall be calculated based on the rate of $4,589.00 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (“EDU”)
times the LA ASSFC sewage generation factors for the type of land use. The EDUs
assigned to a given customer is a measure of expected impact on the wastewater utility
relative to the customer’s expected discharge flow and wastewater strength. One EDU
is equivalent to one single family dwelling unit as defined by the LA ASSFC.

Whenever a user of the sewer system changes from one land use to another, the
Wastewater Capital Facility Fee shall be that of the new land use less that of the old
land use. If the new land use has a lower fee than the old land use, no fee shall be
imposed, and no refund of any previously paid fee shall be granted. Whenever a user of
the sewer system causes a significant increase of either the flow or strength of sewage
discharged to the system, even though there may be no change in land use, an
additional Wastewater Capital Facility Fee may be imposed.
SECTION 2. The amount of the LA ASSFC charged to owners or developers of a
property will be based on the City of Angeles' Annual Report of Wastewater Flow and
Strength Loadings and the Amalgamated System Sewage Generator Factors. Funds
collected from owners and developers will be transmitted to the City of Los Angeles on
a bi-monthly basis.
SECTION 3. Effective March 1, 2021, Resolution 10306 CCS shall be repealed
in its entirety.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and
thenceforth and thereafter the same shall be in full force and effect.
