The <br />2017 connection fees are $4,069 per SAC unit for water, and $3,073 per SAC unit for sewer. <br />Connection fees are collected at the time of development or building permit, typically in the <br />following instances: <br /> <br />• New Residential Development <br />• New Commercial/Industrial <br />• Expanded Commercial/Industrial <br />• Properties served by private wells/septic systems <br />• Redeveloped property, determined based on the increase in SAC units related to the new use <br />if applicable <br /> <br />The vast majority of connection fees are derived from new development projects of varying land <br />uses. The other circumstances listed above are less common, but do occur. <br /> <br /> <br />
