Sec. 30-4. Calculation of the water resources acquisition fee.
A. Based on the evaluation provided in the plan, no fee is required at this time for development in the "on-project area." As a result, the WRAF for all new development within the "on-project area" is $0.00 until an updated plan is produced and a revised fee is established pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 9-463.05, Arizona Revised Statutes.
B. Each residential, single-family development will be assessed a water resources acquisition fee as follows:
1. Five hundred eighty-three dollars for each five-eighths-inch, three-quarter-inch or one-inch water meter.
2. One thousand nine hundred forty dollars for each one-and-one-half-inch water meter.
3. Three thousand one hundred six dollars for each two-inch water meter.
C. In a residential, multi-family development, the WRAF for each dwelling unit is $221.00. The WRAF will be assessed under this subsection even if an additional meter or increase in the meter size is not required.
D. WRAF will assess separately for meters installed primarily for landscape irrigation purposes in residential developments. Fees for these meters will be assessed pursuant to Table A.
E. A nonresidential development not located within the on-project area will be assessed a WRAF according to Table A:

6" compound class II |
$55,590 |
|
6" turbine class II |
$65,881 |
|
8" compound class II |
$65,881 |
|
8" turbine class II |
$115,295 |
If the meter size is not included in Table A, fees will be based on the relative meter capacity, using the maximum flow rate associated with meters as indicated in the latest version of the American Water Works Manual of Water Supply Practices, multiplied by the nonresidential adjustment factor in the most recently approved WRAF infrastructure improvements plan on file with the Water Services Department and available on the City’s website.
F. If an existing meter on a development is being replaced by a new meter, the WRAF for the replacement meter will be the difference between the WRAF for the new meter and the WRAF that would have been assessed for the existing meter. (Ord. No. G-5985, 2015; Ord. No. G-6666, § 2, 2020)
