Sewer Improvement Fees

Sewer Improvement (SI) fees are collected to pay for the Sanitary Sewer neighborhood collection system and house laterals up to the property line. SI fees can vary considerably depending on the age of the neighborhood system and how it was funded. There are no SI fees associated with systems installed and paid for by a developer.

For further information on SI fees, please call Wastewater customer service at 274-8085.
