Herriman waives certain impact fees for Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District project, keeps public safety fees
Summary
Council approved staff recommendations to waive water, traffic and stormwater impact fees for a JVWCD utility expansion, citing negligible impacts on city systems, while continuing to charge public safety and fire impact fees.
Herriman City Council voted Nov. 12 to reduce or waive several impact fees for a Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District (JVWCD) expansion project after staff concluded the work will have negligible impacts on the city’s water, traffic and stormwater systems. Council adopted Resolution R56-2025 per staff recommendation.
Bryce explained JVWCD was building three chemical buildings, a new water storage reservoir, and filter improvements at a site near the Welby Jacobs Canal on the city’s southeast edge. Because the project will not connect to Herriman’s culinary water system (no meter and no direct tie-in), staff recommended waiving water impact fees as well as traffic and storm-drain fees; they recommended charging public safety and fire impact fees because the buildings increase potential demand for first-responder services.
Bryce said the report from JVWCD estimated up to five new employees and a small number of daily trips, which translated to a negligible traffic fee if calculated. After a brief exchange, council member Jerry moved to approve the staff recommendation; Teddy seconded the motion and the council approved the resolution by voice vote.
