2.  Per SSSD policy, when a change in the use of a premises served by an existing sewer connection results in a marked increase in wastewater discharged to the sewer, or when an industrial wastewater discharge permit is modified to increase the discharge volume, Capacity Fees are applicable to the increased discharge volume.

4.  A New Connections Representative will calculate the SSSD Capacity Fee based on wastewater volume using DHEC's Guidelines for Unit Contribuory Loading to Wastewater Treatment Facilities (R. 61-67 Appendix A)

5.  When payment is received for the applicable SSSD Capacity fee, the applicant will be given a receipt for the amount paid and the New Connections Representative will fax or email a copy of the paid receipt to Metro Water Works on behalf of the applicant in order to complete the purchase of a sewer tap.
