Volume rates identified in the above table incorporate an Increasing Block Structure as defined
Section 4 of the City of McCall 2018 Water Rate Study. Blocks 1, 2, and 3 shall be applied to the
following gallons used per month and per ERU assigned to a specific water meter:
1. Block 1 = first 0 to 5,000 gallons/month/ERU
2. Block 2 = any usage 5,000 to 20,000 gallons/month/ERU and not including usage accounted
for in Block 1
3. Block 3 = any usage greater 20,000 gallons/month/ERU and not included in usage
accounted for in Blocks 1 and 2
2019 Example: Class A, 1 ERU, using 8,000 gallons per month will pay:
$35.92 (base rate)
+$1.11/kgal x 5 kgal (Block 1 Rates)
+$1.48/kgal x 3 kgal (Block 2 Rates)
= $45.91
Section 3: Non -Resident rates: Water system users outside the corporate limits of the City of
McCall shall be charged 150% of the rates contained in this resolution.
Section 4: Equivalent residential unit ("ERU"), as that term is used in this resolution, means
the capacity of the connection to deliver water one or more single family residences.
For Class A and B Residential connections, the number of ERUs assigned to each
connection shall be based on the number of independent residences served by the
associated meter. In the case of residential uses, "unit" shall have the same meaning
as in Title 3 of the McCall City Code.
For Civic, Commercial, Industrial or other non-residential Class A and B
connections, the number of ERUs for any given connection shall be determined the
from the following table:
Meter Diameter ERU's
5/8" or 3/4" 1
1" 2
1 '/2" 4
2" 6
3" 10
4" 16
6" 34
8" 54
For multi -use (combined residential and non-residential connections) or if the
premise, property, building/s, units, or other facility being served by a water service
is determined to routinely deliver daily water volumes that exceed the ERU ratios
described previously in this Section, the City Engineer shall make a final
determination of number of ERUs that shall be assigned to the specific water

service. The volume ratios of: 20 fixture units/ERU, 640 gallons per day per ERU
(640 gpd/ERU) and 1 ERU per residential unit), as well as historic water use data
shall be used as a basis for establishing the City Engineer's final determination and
shall round up to the nearest whole ERU.
The decision of the City Engineer is final unless appealed to City Manager by the
affected party within five days after receipt of the City Engineer's decision. The
City Manager shall have the final decision in determining the assigned ERUs for
the subject water service.
The capitalization fees/buy-in fees that are appropriate for new customers of the
City Water System are calculated as required by McCall City Code Section 6.4.050,
using the American Water Works Association Manual 26 based on the incremental -
cost pricing method and as outlined in the 2018 Water Rate Study. The
capitalization/buy-in fee for each existing or new equivalent residential unit (ERU)
served by a water service shall be $5,705 per ERU. For small users as defined in
Section 6, the capitalization/buy-in shall be $4,279 per small user connection.
Small Users: Small users are defined as businesses and/or residences or dwellings
with the number of fixture units less than 10 as defined by the National Standard
Plumbing Code.
