Harnett County to revise 1-inch commercial water tap fee to address inequity
Summary
Staff asked commissioners to amend the budget ordinance to lower the 1-inch commercial water tap fee so it is less than the 2-inch fee; proposed fees are $2,200 tap fee plus $3,000 system development fee for a total of $5,200 and the item was moved to consent.
Staff informed the board that during adoption of the budget ordinance, the 1-inch commercial tap fee was not adjusted while the 2-inch fee was changed, creating an inequity where a 1-inch commercial tap would have cost more than a 2-inch tap.
Staff proposed setting the 1-inch commercial tap fee at a $2,200 tap charge plus a $3,000 system development fee, for a total charge of $5,200 for commercial 1-inch service. A commissioner confirmed the $5,200 total, and the item was moved to the consent agenda for formal action.
