The District shall adopt a schedule of fees and charges which includes any required deposit for water and sewer service, connection and reconnection fees for water and sewer service, and rates for water and sewer service. The fees shall be reviewed periodically by the District.
The District has adopted procedures for new residential construction, remodeling projects, and inspections. A construction permit application must be submitted and approved prior to the commencement of any new construction or remodeling projects.
Failure to make an application prior to the start of construction of new residences or substantial repairs or renovations of $10,000 or more involving water and/or sanitary sewer plumbing will result in a 50% penalty being assessed with respect to all required fees and escrow costs and, furthermore, such failure could delay water and wastewater service activation.
