At the February and March work sessions, proposed changes were discussed for fees related to Public Works and Utility Billing. OPWA Resolution 2018 -02 would approve fee changes for various types of utility services including: utility billing customer services, water and sewer utility connections, hydrant meter water service, and the sale of yordwaste bags.

The sewer connection fee would increase from $400 to $600.
