Mona council adopts fee schedule update, raises sewer impact fee and adds hydrant deposit
Summary
After a public hearing, Mona City Council approved Resolution 2025-26 to raise the sewer impact fee for new builds to $5,500 and to implement a $5,000 deposit for contractor use of water hydrants; council also confirmed meter-based water charges are $15 per 1,000 gallons.
Mona City Council on an undisclosed meeting date approved Resolution 2025-26 following a public hearing that raised the sewer impact fee for new construction to $5,500 and established a $5,000 deposit for contractors who use city hydrants.
City staff explained the hydrant deposit is intended to cover damage or costs associated with contractor use of city hydrants and meters. During public comment, a resident asked about the per-gallon meter charge; council and staff said the charge is $15 per 1,000 gallons and noted a typical residential allowance of 12,000 gallons was cited in the materials.
The resolution was introduced at the hearing and carried on a subsequent council motion. No formal appeals or conditions were recorded during the hearing.
Why it matters: the change increases up-front costs associated with new development and places a larger deposit responsibility on contractors that use municipal hydrants. City staff flagged that hydrant meters and meter damage drove the deposit proposal, and the fee proceeds are intended to reduce the fiscal exposure to the city from hydrant use.
What’s next: the resolution takes effect per the city’s standard ordinance-adoption procedures; staff will apply the new fees to applicable permits and meter rentals.
