Council adopts revised water and sewer connection fees, reduces one-inch charge
Summary
Council approved Resolution 24-29 to adjust water and sewer connection fees by meter size (example 5/8x3/4 meter fee $2,008.50) and adopted an amendment lowering the 1-inch fee from $6,500 to $3,000 and setting the effective baseline year to 2025.
Council read Resolution 24-29 amending water and sewer connection fees and discussed technical amendments before a vote. Staff explained the ordinance updates align Crooks’ fee structure with likely future charges from regional providers (which charge by meter size) and gave an example: a 5/8-by-3/4-inch meter fee shown on the sheet as $2,008.50.
A council member moved two amendments: reduce the 1-inch fee from $6,500 to $3,000 (to reflect typical use for sprinkler systems rather than commercial flow) and set the baseline effective year to 2025 to avoid interim fee gaps. Following discussion and clarification that the change aligns with county practice, the council approved the resolution with the amendments by voice vote.
The resolution instructs staff to update fee schedules and to communicate the changes to permit applicants and the public.
