Mona Council approves higher sewer impact fee and $5,000 hydrant-use deposit
Summary
The Mona City Council approved Resolution 2025-26 updating the fee schedule, raising the sewer impact fee for new builds to $5,500 and establishing a $5,000 deposit for contractors’ use of city hydrants to cover potential meter damage.
Mona — The Mona City Council on a voice vote approved Resolution 2025-26, which raises the sewer impact fee on new construction to $5,500 and adds a $5,000 deposit requirement for contractors using the city’s hydrants.
At the public hearing, the presiding officer explained the proposed changes as an addition to the existing fee schedule: “the increase of sewer impact fee on the new builds to 5,500 and implementation … of a $5,000 deposit for contractor use of the water hydrant,” and opened the floor for questions. A resident asked about the per-gallon charge on hydrant meters; staff and others confirmed the usage rate is $15 per 1,000 gallons, and that the deposit is intended to cover damage to the city meter.
Supporters said the hydrant deposit responds to recent incidents of hooking to hydrants and protects the city’s meter assets. There were no public objections recorded during the hearing. Following the public comment period, Council closed the hearing, moved to approve the resolution and recorded affirmative roll-call responses.
The council did not attach an implementation date in the meeting discussion; staff indicated the deposit is intended to cover meter repair or replacement costs and the updated fee schedule document was distributed to council members. The presiding officer announced the motion’s approval.
The council is expected to publish the updated fee schedule and any administrative guidance for contractors following staff finalization.
