New Service Connection Fees
Depending on where you tie onto the water and sewer systems, new connection fees may include a tap fee, a meter fee, and/or a capital recovery fee. The Tap Fee is charged to cover the actual costs of tapping the water main & installing a water service. A Meter Fee is charged to cover the actual costs a water meter installed where the tap is already made & the meter box is already set. The Capital Recovery Fee is charged to help pay for system improvements needed to support new water users moving into our system. Capital Recovery Fees are always charged except on new water main installation projects on existing county roads that have never had public water. The Authority has followed the Georgia's Impact Fee Law in developing and maintaining its Capital Recovery Fees pricing.
