Rates & Charges

Water Meter

Our Rates and Charges are comprised of three components:

  1. a water resource charge (tap fee),

  2. a base monthly fee, and

  3. a consumption charge (based on metered deliveries).

The water resource charge or water tap fee is a one-time up-front payment typically paid by a developer to secure the right to water access. This fee includes the amortized cost of water rights as well as a portion of the water infrastructure known as Wholesale facilities used to produce, develop, treat, and transport water into the distribution system. The base monthly fee is a flat, monthly fee billed to each customer, based on a single-family equivalent (SFE) use of water. Consumption charges are tiered rates based on metered water deliveries to each customer.
