Board approves FY2025 water and wastewater rate revisions, including new fees
Summary
The board adopted revisions to the FY2025 water and wastewater fee schedule: a $10 recovery-cost fee for the Harry McCarty pump station, clarified master-meter notes, and a $100 capacity application fee per home for small residential subdivisions.
Barrow County approved revisions to the FY2025 water and wastewater rate and fee schedule that include several fee changes and clarifications.
A county transportation/utility representative presented the changes under item 7f, saying staff proposed adding a $10 recovery-cost fee for the Harry McCarty per-gallon basin pump station being constructed. The proposal also added clarifying notes about commercial master meters and introduced a $100 capacity application fee per home for residential developments of one to five homes. Commissioner (District 6) moved to approve the schedule and Commissioner (District 4) seconded; the chair called the vote and declared the motion carried.
Commissioners thanked staff for clarifying the schedule language. The revisions were presented as clarifications and targeted fee additions tied to a named facility rather than broad rate increases.
