The Capital Facilities Capacity Charge (CFCC) is a one-time, non-discriminatory charge imposed at the time a building or structure is newly connected to Orange County Sanitation District's (OC San) system, or an existing structure is expanded or increased. This charge is to pay a portion of the capacity costs and for access to capacity in the system. Based upon the rate study conducted by HDR Engineering, Inc., the Facilities Master Plan, forecasted operating expenses, and cash flow modeling, staff recommends the 3-bedroom base rate for the residential CFCC remain unchanged for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 at $5,719 and will adjust by the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index each year thereafter.
The non-residential CFCC schedule for FY 2023-24 will decrease by 33% and will adjust by the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index each year thereafter.
