A scheduled adjustment has passed since this rate took effect

This fee escalates annually. The rate on file is effective 21 Jul 2025, and at least one adjustment has fallen due since. The current amount is probably different, and for an indexed fee almost certainly higher. The next change after that is expected 1 Jul 2027.

The figure is published as held rather than projected forward, because a number computed from an index is not a number quoted from an adopted schedule. It is flagged so you can check the agency's current schedule before relying on it.

The record

Why it exists

“Development is responsible for the cost of 1/2 of the 8" water mains along all adjacent streets, alleys, and easements. The Water Front Footage Fee pays for the 1/2 construction cost of 8" mains in order to reimburse developers who construct lines along properties that are not part of the developer's property.”

What it pays for

“The fee covers the cost attributable to water main construction that are to be constructed in streets, alleys, or easements where other developments will have frontage and/or connect to the main. The component of cost for water mains that are in excess of 8" diameter is not included and is paid for through the oversize water fee. Mains that are considered transmission mains are not included in the water front footage fee, but are included in the water major facilities fee.”

About these figures

Quoted, not summarized. Every amount and fact on this page is copied from the official document it links to. If we couldn’t find something in a document, we leave it blank instead of guessing.

Before any discounts. Some fees offer credits, waivers or phase-ins. They’re listed above but not subtracted, because whether you qualify depends on your project.

Check the date. Fees change. This page shows what was in force on the date at the top, with a link to the document that set it, so you can confirm the current amount yourself. How all of this is put together.
