CCWD sewer capacity charge - Arnold

“Kevin Williams, along with consultant Shawn Koorn from HDR, presented the revised La Contenta Wastewater capacity fee study. They recommended increasing the fee from $15,902 to $21,719 to ensure new developments appropriately contribute to growth-related infrastructure costs.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Properties that are contiguous to a District water and/or wastewater line but are not connected, and capacity is available, will need to pay the cost for a connection. To obtain a cost estimate for the new connection, an Application for New Service Quotation can be submitted. The costs for the connection will be prepared by a Customer Service Representative and will be mailed to you, typically within 7 – 10 days. The cost of service consists of the current capacity fee (water and/or wastewater), water meter and installation cost, inspection fees, and if applicable, estimated service connection costs and assessment fees. A District Capacity and Connection Fee Schedule for each service area is included with this package.”

“In the past, property owners who paid into AD-604 were charged a capacity fee for new connections that excluded AD-604 assets to ensure they were not charged twice for the same assets.”

“Mr. Korn stated the next steps would be publishing the Ordinance within 10 days of adoption, staff will continue outreach to members of the community, new fees would take effect May 8, 2022, and capacity fees would be adjusted annually every July 1st by the ENRCCI index as stated in the original Ordinance.”
