“A water capacity fee shall be required for all water service connections to the City water system, except for connections solely for fire protection.”

“If the use of a property, lot, parcel, or premise changes, and a larger service connection and meter are required to serve the new uses on the property, the water capacity fee obligation shall be based upon the incremental difference in cost between the water capacity fee charge for the larger meter size and the water capacity fee charge for the existing meter size, or the existing meter size may be estimated based upon the 10-year historical average water use on the property, whichever is less. No water capacity fee credit will be owed by the City when the new meter size is smaller than the prior meter size or the estimated meter size.”
