Root Creek WD storm drain fee

“The function of the storm drain system is to collect runoff during wet weather events, including flows from the upstream water shed, to prevent flooding. Storm drain infrastructure consists of tributaries and catchment basins to collect and store runoff. Captured storm water is retained and percolates into the groundwater basin.”

“The storm drain connection fee is proposed to recover about $16.1 million in construction and interest expenses net of developer contributed facilities, connection fees already paid, and estimated future CFD bond proceeds, see Table 20.”

“At buildout, RCWD will provide municipal water, sewer, and storm drain service to 6,790 equivalent dwelling units in the Riverstone Development.”

“The Permittee shall pay current applicable fees and deposits required by the District upon demand. District staff should be consulted for current and applicable fees.”

Root Creek Water District, the agency that levies it

“Capacity fees are paid by builders and are not billed to residential or commercial customers.”

“Backbone Facilities funded by a Permittee's advanced funds or constructed by the Permittee at prevailing wages (as required by law) are fee creditable as building permits are issued. If fee credits do not fully reimburse the Permittee's advancement, the District will reimburse the Permittee as building permits are issued within the District.”

“To provide affordability it is suggested that the proposed fees be phased-in as shown in Table 26.”
