Water Connection Fee Districts
Water Connection Fee Districts were established by the Board of Trustees to
recover the design and construction costs of large-diameter water distribution
facilities in new Water Works service territories. Fees are based on the
estimated cost of the proposed facilities, distributed evenly across the
developable acreage in each district.
Fees are adjusted annually on July 1 according to
Resolution 0213-1 (PDF)
.
Revised fees are generally available in May.
The July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027, per acre fees are as follows:
- Raccoon River Area: $5,150
- South Area: $6,718
- Southwest Area: $3,815
