CAPACITY FEE

(formerly named: availability fee)

 

Effective July 1, 2012, all new connections to the system shall be subject to Capacity Fees. Capacity fees, also referred to as privilege fees, infrastructure fees, availability or impact fees, are a method of partially financing new wastewater treatment facilities and wastewater trunkline extensions in areas of substantial growth. The cost of these improvements is shared proportionately by new users. Capacity Fees vary and are proportional to the expected volume of wastewater discharge. These charges are determined individually by the District’s staff at a rate of $900 per REU (Residential Equivalent Unit which is defined as a discharge of 400 gallons per day). Expected discharge volumes of greater than 400 gallons per day are calculated at the same rate of $900 per 400 gallons per day. The minimum Capacity Fee is $900.00. For manufacturing, this Capacity Fee equates to $2.25 per gallon.
