Has the issue of billing users of wastewater treatment plants on an “EDU basis” and billing septic systems owners on a “per user basis” been addressed?
Yes. Any septic system with an average daily flow greater than 5,000 gallons per day is treated as a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) because it operates under a MDE groundwater discharge permit, and its users are subject to the BRF (WWTP) fee. Septic systems generally treat smaller flows and will be subject to BRF septic fee of $30 per year per user.
