The record
“Capacity fees ensure new development pays its fair share to connect to the system and does not cause additional burdens to current customers. Capital and infrastructure costs required to meet new demand/connections should be paid by those causing the cost to be incurred.”
“the updated capacity fees are based on an Incremental Approach as the District has a detailed listing of capital improvements necessary to serve new development, as identified within its SECAP. The SECAP identifies the upsizing of existing sewer trunk lines and new sewer trunk lines to convey flow from future developments within the service area to the regional treatment plants. Contingency, design, and administration costs are also included for these projects. These system improvements will serve the additional demand generated by new development.”
“South Placer Municipal Utility District (District) serves the communities of Rocklin, Loomis, Penryn, Newcastle, and portions of Granite Bay and unincorporated Placer County.”
