• The Monthly Service Charge is due each month regardless of whether water is used or not. 

• Relocations larger than 1" will require a new tapping charge and a new road crossing charge, if applicable.   

• Any meter enlargement will be subject to an SDC equal to the difference in the current SDCs for the respective meter sizes and types.   

• Meter manufacturer and meter type (turbine, compound, displacement, etc.) will be chosen by the District on a case-by-case basis.  

• Water main extensions including - but not limited to - materials, labor, engineering, surveying, and legal are paid for by customer.
