Cost to Property Owners and Financing

January 2003: 4-A Utility Connection Letter Steps for Utility Connections (PDF Format)

For non-single family residential lots, the assessment will be computed on a per front foot rate with a 90’ minimum estimated at $32.78 plus the appropriate lateral for sanitary sewer with water estimated at $25 per linear foot plus appropriate lateral.

Method of Payment
Where sanitary sewer collection systems are being installed, a portion of the cost may be assessed to the benefited property owners. This is basically a means for the property owner to finance their cost of the utility improvements over an extended period of time. PWC will consider receiving payments on a monthly basis if so requested. The only properties to be assessed are those where the sanitary sewer collection mains and/or water distribution mains are actually installed. If the property owner does not connect prior to Apr. 15, 2003, the FIF will have to be paid at the time application for service is made.

PAYMENT SCHEDULE BASED ON AN 3.97% INTEREST RATE OVER A 10 YEAR PAYMENT PERIOD

UTILITY	ASSESSED AMOUNT	INTEREST	PERIOD	MONTHLY INSTALLMENT
Sanitary Sewer	$3,500	3.97%	10 years	$35.39
Water	$2,650	3.97%	10 years	$26.79

Note: All cost figures, interest rates, payment schedules, FIFs, and related information are provided as an example based on staff estimates and are, therefore, subject to change. This example is for a typical residential platted lot. For undeveloped residential tracts or commercial property, the assessment will be computed on an individual basis using front footage for the main charge and the appropriate lateral charge.

Proposed Charges
Notes: PWC will waive the Facility Investment Fee for property owners making application for service before Apr. 15, 2003.

For all non-single family residential lots, assessments will be established on a case-by-case basis based on front footage with a 90’ minimum. Laterals larger than minimum stated will be assessed PWC’s standard charges.

The charges and cost as outlined above are based on anticipated fees, charges, and rates which are subject to change. Actual cost will be computed at the time application for service is made.
