The record
“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.”

“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.”
Calaveras County Water District, the agency that levies it
“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.”
“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.”
