City Council Approves System Development Fees

At its August 2, 2022, regular meeting, Sanford City Council approved system development fees for all newly connecting water and wastewater customers, effective September 1, 2022.

System development fees are one-time charges assessed to residential or commercial customers, developers, or builders for each new connection to the City’s water and/or wastewater system.

These fees allow the City to recover a proportional share of capital costs incurred to provide service availability and capacity for new infrastructure users.

System development fees are charged at the time the user applies for a new connection. The amount of the fee is based on the size of the water meter.

Example: A person building a new home needs to tap onto the City’s water and wastewater system. The new home requires a 3/4-inch water tap and a 4-inch sewer tap. Currently, the person would pay $950 for the water tap and $1,250 for the sewer tap. Beginning September 1, the person would pay an additional $1,146.77 for the water system development fee and $1,823.14 for the sewer system development fee, for a total of $5,169.91.

The changes do not affect the rates charged to customers for existing water and sewer services. System development fees are only assessed for a new connection.
