Connection Fee Adequacy Analysis

HDR completed a Connection Fee Adequacy Analysis for TSD in April 2021. Connection Fees have not been updated since 1983. These fees fund a "fair and proportionate share" of the District's capital cost for the sewer system. The objective of the study is to calculate cost-based connection fees for new customers or additional capacity to the District's sewer system. Connection fees are paid when a new sewer connection is established. Costs are based on the type of connection (residential, restaurant, hotel/motel, etc.).

Consistent with state law, the District carges new customers a connection fee when connecting to the sewer collection system or expanding capacity of an existing connection. Connection fees are retained in a restricted fund (Fund 4) and can only be expended for capital projects that expand the capacity of the District facilities.
