Connection fees based on this criteria shall be calculated by dividing the total number of design gallons by 250 (ERC-equivalent residential connection) and multiplying by the rate established for a 3/4-inch service line.

 

 

E. Criteria for payment of water and/or sewer connection fees. An actual connection sufficient to commence water and/or sewer service to a building, along with the obtaining of all necessary building permits, must be made within 6 months of payment of the connection fee. If such connection is not made within such time period, the party paying the fee may still connect to the system upon paying the fee then in effect at the time of actual connection.
