Water Connection Fee Districts
Water Connection Fee Districts were established by the Board of Trustees to recover the design and construction costs required to establish large diameter water distribution facilities in new Water Works service territories. The fees were determined based on a cost estimate for the proposed major water distribution facilities which was spread evenly over the developable acreage of the fee district. The fees are adjusted annually on July 1 as outlined in Resolution 0213-1. The revised fee is generally available in May.
The July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025, per acre fees are as follows:
- Raccoon River Area $4,922
- South Area $6,421
- Southwest Area $3,646
