Appendix 5
Table of Standard of Sewage Treatment Plant and Sanitary Sewer Fees
Item Unit Unit Price (New Taiwan Dollar/NT$)
Water Quantity M3 NT$ 8.60
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) kg NT$ 26.70
Suspended Solid (SS) kg NT$ 38.40
Single Rate M3 NT$ 18
1. The measurement of sewage discharged by sewage and sanitary sewer users is handled in terms of the following provisions:
As water is provided by the Parks and sanitary sewer users establish qualified flow meters at the sewage discharge outlet for measurement, the measurement of sewage shall be computed on the basis of the flow meters; otherwise, 80% of water quantity shall be considered as the measurement of sewage. 
The 80% of water quantity referred to in the previous paragraph does not include planting water.
2. Sewage and Sanitary Sewer Fees – Grades of Water Quality, Grade Rates and Formula for Calculation:
1. Fees for Business Users=A(Q) + B(COD) + C(SS)
(1) A(Q) represents Water Quantity (Q) × Unit Price
(2) B(COD) represents Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD): Water Quality × Water Quantity (Q) × Unit Price × Grade Rate, and the table of grade rates is as follows:
Grade Water Quality (mg/L) Grade Rate
1 ≦ 250 0.90
2 ≦ 500 > 250 1.00
3 ≦ 600 > 500 1.16
4 ≦ 700 > 600 1.33
5 ≦ 800 > 700 1.53
6 ≦ 900 > 800 1.76
7 ≦ 1,000 > 900 2.00
8 > 1,000 2.00
(3) C(SS) represents Suspended Solid (SS): Water Quality × Water Quantity (Q) × Unit Price × Grade Rate, and the table of grade rates is as follows:
Grade Water Quality (mg/L) Grade Rate
1 ≦ 150 0.90
2 ≦ 300 > 150 1.00
3 ≦ 360 > 300 1.16
4 ≦ 420 > 360 1.33
5 ≦ 480 > 420 1.53
6 ≦ 540 > 480 1.76
7 ≦ 600 > 540 2.00
8 > 600 2.00
Officials from the Administration will determine the numbers of abovementioned Chemical Oxygen Demand and Suspended Solid by conducting a nonscheduled test each month. Upon the collection of the Sewage Treatment Plant and Sanitary Sewer Fees, the arithmetic average of water quality in the current season shall be taken as the basis for computation of the fees.
2. Fees for Regular Users=D(Q), which represents Water Quantity (Q) × Single Rate.
