We administer inter-developer financing and cost sharing of sewer systems installed in private development areas.
Installation costs of sanitary sewer of less than 375 mm in diameter and storm sewer of less than 1200 mm in diameter (lateral sewers) are normally not cost sharable. They are installed at the developer's sunk cost. The only exception is when oversized laterals (provide additional capacity and/or depth) are required to service areas external to the development in question. The cost difference can be recovered by an oversize claim from the benefitting areas.
There are 2 types of cost sharing: on-site and off-site.
On-site cost sharing refers to cost sharing of trunk sewers installed within a pre-defined boundary (drainage basin). The boundary of the cost sharing area is determined on the basis of topographic, political, economic and design constraints. This cost sharing is characterized by the following:
Off-site cost sharing refers to cost sharing of intercepting sewers built outside the boundaries of on-site cost sharing basins. An off-site cost sharing area usually consists of a number of on-site cost sharing areas, and is characterized by the following:
