Residential Equivalent User (REU) definition
Residential Equivalent User (REU) means a unit of measure for sewer or water-related impact fees equivalent to the amount of sewer or water capacity needed to supply one residential dwelling unit. For the purposes of the impact fees established under this Ordinance, a REU shall be defined as a sewer or water connection with either a 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch meter equal to one REU based on standards developed by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission, which are based on standard flow meter capacities. The REU assessment also utilizes water meter size and a conversion ratio for larger water users.
