Eastern Municipal Water District, the agency that levies it

“I pay my sewer bill to someone other than EMWD. Why do I still pay FPCs to EMWD? In some cases, cities or local water agencies construct and operate their own water and sewer facilities that connect with EMWD's facilities. In those instances, you pay for the use of both the city's and EMWD's facilities. If you have questions about other agencies' fees, you must contact them directly.”

“Development to be exempted from Payment of Connection fees: (1) Existing Development Within Improvement Districts … (2) Existing Development Outside of Improvement Districts Receiving Domestic Water Service … (3) Agricultural Use, as defined by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California Administrative Code … shall be exempt from paying Capacity Charges. (4) New Recycled water meters, including those that are supplied with potable water sources on an interim basis, shall be exempt from paying capacity charges. (5) ADUs converted from existing space and JADU's shall not be considered to be a new residential use and shall be exempt from connection fees or capacity charges.”
