Residential Uses = $375/dwelling unit
Non -Residential Uses (based on basic sewer unit):
The $375 basic sewer unit is then used to determine non-residential uses:
Commercial Users:
= 50 ggallons/1,000 square feet = 20% basic sewer unit
_ $75/1,000 square feet commercial use
Industrial Users:
= 20 gallons/1,000 square feet = 8% basic sewer unit

either directly or through interaction, violations of either (a} any Federal discharge
permit then held by the MWRA or the DPW, (b) the municipal discharge permit
then held by the DPW, or (c) State water quality standards; and would not force
additional controls on other dischargers to achieve compliance with effluent

pretreatment facility as may be necessary to produce an effluent acceptable to the
DPW and the MWRA under the provisions of their respective regulations and the
requirements of Federal or State agencies. An approved implementation schedule
