Content

• Calculate the connection fee.
• Calculate the cost of all related equipment such as meters, backflow preventers, curb stop boxes, etc.
• Add the cost of other fees such as transfer fee, conversion fee, and concurrency fee.
• Calculate any irrigation needs including connection fees.
• Add the appropriate inspection deposit.
• Calculate the concurrency needs for the project.
• In most cases it will be necessary to calculate the total and divide by the number of units to get a connection fee per unit.
