Lake Hemet Municipal Water District charges

“Water system facilities charges can change from time to time at the direction of the Board of Directors, and are reasonably related to current costs for water system facilities, in accordance with California law.”

“The water system facilities charge shall be paid by the property owner, or the duly authorized representative of the property owner, who is applying for water service to any residence or commercial establishment to be constructed on lots or parcels within the area where the District serves water.”

“Such facilities charges shall be paid at the time that money is deposited with the District for service and/or construction of facilities and prior to approval of an application for service.”

Lake Hemet Municipal Water District, the agency that levies it

“An applicant/property owner shall be entitled to make a connection to the District's water system and to commence water service upon approval of an application for water service and payment of the required rates, fees and charges.”

“For properties being considered for restricted agricultural use, typically smaller than one (1) acre, the District may, in its discretion, postpone the collection of the Water System Facilities Charge, EDU and Frontage fees, until the property is to be developed. A metered service shall be extended to the property line at owner's expense. The service shall carry no "grandfathered" credit for the Water System Facilities Charge, EDU or Frontage, because of the postponement of said current fees by the District. No habitable structure, whether permanent or mobile, shall be placed on the property.”

“If a property currently has service installed, the current owner or developer shall be granted a single Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) credit.”
