CAPACITY FEE

(formerly named: availability fee)

 

Effective July 1, 2013, 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 trunk line extensions in this manner, new growth pays a portion of the
infrastructure costs. 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 $950.00 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
$950.00 per 400 gallons per day. The minimum Capacity Fee is $950.00. For manufacturing, this Capacity Fee
equates to $2.38 per gallon.
