The board ratified Ordinance No. 5117 to add Section 122-83 to the Bossier Parish Code, creating a schedule of water impact fees by meter size that ranges from $1,200 for 5/8" meters to $96,000 for 10" meters; fees for 12"+ will be determined later.
The Board of Supervisors for Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 2 ratified adoption of Ordinance No. 5117 on June 17, 2026, adding Section 122-83 to the Bossier Parish Code of Ordinances to establish water impact fees by metered water line size. The board’s motion to ratify adoption was made by Holly Fisk and seconded by Chairman Heath Lyles; there was no public comment and the motion carried unanimously.
The ordinance creates a fee schedule that sets water impact fees at $1,200 for 5/8", 3/4" and 1" service lines; $3,000 for 1½"; $6,000 for 2"; $9,600 for 3"; $19,200 for 4"; $30,000 for 6"; $60,000 for 8"; and $96,000 for 10" meters. Fees for 12" or larger service lines are listed as "to be determined" in Section 122-83. The ordinance text references prior amendments (Ordinance Nos. 4645, 4924, and 5103) and was reported as previously approved by the Bossier Parish Police Jury on June 17, 2026.
According to the meeting record, the ordinance was offered by Mr. Benton and seconded by Mr. Darby for adoption by the Police Jury; the recorded vote on adoption listed 11 ayes (Lynn Beaty, Glenn Benton, Jimmy Cochran, Julian Darby, Pam Glorioso, John Ed Jorden, Chris Marsiglia, Julianna Parks, Doug Rimmer, Tom Salzer, Keith Sutton), no nays, no abstentions, and one absence (Philip Rodgers). The board’s ratification action authorizes the ordinance to be incorporated into the parish code.
The new fee schedule will affect residential, commercial, apartment, and mobile home park connections in the Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 2 service area and will apply on a per-unit basis tied to meter size as specified in Section 122-83. The ordinance adoption is recorded as Ordinance No. 5117, adopted June 17, 2026.
