Pasco City to review water and sewer connection fee ordinance at March 23 workshop
Summary
City staff will present a proposed update to Pasco City ordinances on water and sewer connection fees at the March 23 workshop; the changes are said to take effect next year and typically affect developer-paid charges.
A Moderator for the Pasco City Council in Focus program said the March 23 workshop will include a presentation on a proposed update to city ordinances governing water and sewer connection fees. "This is a routine step to make sure that water and sewer connection fees, typically paid by developers, are all in order ahead of changes that will take effect next year," the Moderator said.
The update appears to be a procedural review of how the city sets and administers connection fees charged to developers. The Moderator did not provide details on the proposed fee amounts, the ordinance language, or the effective date beyond saying changes will take effect next year.
Why it matters: connection fees affect the cost of new development and how the city funds infrastructure capacity. City staff will present the proposal to the council; the agenda preview did not indicate whether the council will vote on the ordinance language at the workshop or schedule a later vote.
City officials invited public comment during the workshop; residents may sign up online or attend in person to speak. The council's full agenda and streaming links are posted on the city's website.
