Council accepts utility committee recommendations on tap fees for truck wash and GPS Computer project
Summary
The council accepted a Utility Committee report requiring a proposed truck wash to pay all water and sewer tap fees while it proceeds through annexation and recommended standard tap fees ($3,800 water; $3,375 sewer) for a 49,500-square-foot GPS Computer spec building at 1718 KitchenAid Way, a project expected to add five to six jobs.
The Greenville City Council heard and accepted the Utility Committee’s May 14, 2026 report that set utility connection requirements for two commercial proposals.
The committee recommended that a proposed truck wash at 5465 Cring Warner Road be required to pay all applicable water and sewer tap fees and be charged the city’s standard water and sewer rates while the property proceeds through annexation (the committee’s report estimates the annexation process will take approximately six to 12 months; the contract established a 12-month timeframe). The council accepted the committee report.
The committee also recommended tap fees for a proposed 49,500-square-foot speculative building by GPS Computer at 1718 KitchenAid Way. The report recommended charging the standard 1½-inch water tap fee of $3,800 and a sewer tap fee of $3,375; the committee noted the project could add approximately five to six employees at the Greenville facility. Council accepted the recommendation and approved the committee report on roll call.
Why it matters: these determinations set the immediate financial obligations for developers seeking to connect to city utilities and clarify how the city will treat customers during pending annexation. The fees and the annexation timeline affect project economics and the timing for when the developments will be served on city utility rates.
Next steps: the city will notify property owners as right-of-way appraisals for the Switzer corridor are completed and staff will proceed with any necessary tap-in scheduling and billing once permits are issued.
