Fee deferrals

Oversize reimbursements & recovery agreements
Under limited circumstances, developers or property owners may be eligible to have a portion of their costs to install water and wastewater infrastructure reimbursed. Generally speaking, this is when they are meeting one of three requirements:
- When the property owner/developer installs water mains larger than 12 inches in diameter and the mains are larger than required for their planned development then the developer may be eligible for an oversize reimbursement.
- When the property owner/developer installs a pressure reducing valve, the cost for the materials installed a vault is eligible for reimbursement.
- When the property owner/developer installs mains past another property which will relieve the other property owner of all or a portion of their responsibility to install a main, then the developer may be eligible to file a Recovery Agreement.
