Dublin San Ramon Services District water capacity reserve fee

“The capacity reserve fees are a contribution of capital in order to reimburse existing customers for the immediately available capacity in the existing system, and to help finance future growth-related capacity improvements needed to serve them. Absent those fees, many utilities would likely be unwilling to build growth-related facilities (i.e., burden existing rate payers with the entire cost of growth-related capacity expansion).”

“Dublin San Ramon Services District charges a capacity reserve fee on all new development and all expansions or changes of existing development to pay for current and future capital improvement projects in the wastewater treatment plant, wastewater collection system, and water system. These fees are designed to cover the cost of building expanded facilities for new development, including debt service for assets built to serve new development.”

“The District is the water retailer for residents in the City of Dublin and the Dougherty Valley portion of the City of San Ramon.”

other: within 30 calendar days before installation of a new or larger water meter — not at building permit

“Water capacity charges and Zone 7 Water connection fees shall be paid within 30 calendar days before installation of a new or larger water meter.”

“Zone 7 functions as DSRSD's water wholesaler. Per agreement, DSRSD collects Zone 7's water capacity reserve fees for the agency.”

“Contributed assets are developer contributed assets which were not included in the water capacity reserve fee calculation. In contrast to this, non-contributed assets were included at 100 percent (%) eligible.”

“DSRSD fees are revised annually on July 1 based on changes in the Engineering News Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index and are subject to change at other times”
