BACKGROUND:
APPROVED BY COUNCIL
SEP 19 2023
Through a review of the rates and fees charged by Utility Billing and Public Works, staff has
identified fees that could be adjusted due to an increase in the actual cost of providing the
service.
These fees were discussed at the September Worksession meeting.
Resolution 2023 -17 would approve fee changes for of the following utility services:
• Increase the deposit for a hydrant meter from $1,000.00 to $1,800.00
• Increase the water connection fee for a 1" meter from $1,000.00 to $1,500.00
• Increase the water connection fee for a 1 %" meter from $2,100.00 to $3,400.00
• Increase the water connection fee for a 2" meter from $2,600.00 to $4,200.00
All of the proposed fee changes are related to the increase in cost of materials and the increase
in cost to provide the service.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2023 -17, establishing fees for various utility services and
amending the Master Rate and Fee Schedule.
