The allocation of fire costs is based on the ratio of equivalent fire meters, 69.1 percent for public fire and 30.9 percent for private fire. The
<br />total meter equivalents are made up of all potable water EMs and fire EMs. A unit cost for the value of a single meter is determined by
<br />dividing the total allocation of meter costs in Table 45 by the total equivalent meters. Table 48 shows the unit cost for each meter
<br />equivalent.
