Tap Purchases, Fees, and Applications
There are many factors that affect the cost of providing water to a property. The overall cost can vary based on the quantity of water needed, the location of the property and the location of the nearest main line. Also, the District must make adjustments periodically to tap prices to keep up with the ever increasing cost of water and water distribution.
