Capacity fees are applied to all new metered service connections, and for existing services that are increasing metered supply. They are meant to keep existing customers from bearing the burden of the capital projects needed to supply water availability for our growing community.
For residential units, including condominiums, apartments and single-family homes, the capacity fee for a 5/8” meter is assessed by unit size rather than by meter size, as follows:
