The record
“"Connection fee" or "capacity charge" means a one-time charge imposed as a condition of connecting to or increasing the demands on the District's water or sewer system, consistent with Government Code section 66013.”
“A capacity charge is a one-time charge that is collected from new customers or developers when they connect to an existing system or increase the demand on the system. Capacity charges help fund infrastructure needed to serve new development. They ensure that existing customers don't subsidize the cost of growth.”
“A District Capacity and Connection Fee Schedule for each service area is included with this package.”

“Activation of the service connection is obtained by paying the required fees, submitting applicable information about the lot, and having a Customer Service Representative fill out a Utility Service Request (USR) form. The signed USR form will initiate the installation of the water meter, inspections, and bi-monthly service charges. The current fees are included with this packet.”
“A JADU or ADU described in paragraph 1 of subdivision (a) of Government Code Section 66323, shall not require a new or separate utility connection, and no connection fee or capacity charge shall be imposed.”
“Application fees shall be refunded to the applicant if the USR process is completed and applicable fees are paid within ninety (90) days of the quote.”
